Pioneering Advanced Materials for Next-Generation Applications

GCNT Sdn. Bhd. (GCNTSB) is a Malaysian deep-tech startup established in 2024 under the InnoHub Program at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). The company focuses on the design, synthesis, and application of graphenated carbon nanotubes (g-CNTs) — a next-generation hybrid nanomaterial that integrates the unique properties of graphene and carbon nanotubes within a single structure.

What We Do

GCNTSB develops advanced material solutions for high-impact industries, including energy storage, printed electronics, EMI shielding, and smart materials. Through our patented synthesis process and scalable formulation techniques, we produce g-CNT dispersions in water, ethanol, and NMP systems, offering enhanced electrical conductivity, high surface area, and improved mechanical performance.

Why g-CNT

Conventional nanomaterials often face challenges such as high cost, limited compatibility, and inconsistent performance. At GCNTSB, we address these gaps by delivering locally developed, high-performance alternatives that are cost-effective and engineered for industrial scalability and global competitiveness.

Our Foundation

GCNTSB is built upon strong research expertise from the Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ION2), UPM. By leveraging this foundation, we translate cutting-edge research into practical, industry-ready solutions.

Our Vision

We aspire to position Malaysia as a leader in advanced materials by driving innovation in nanotechnology and contributing to a sustainable, technology-driven economy.

Our Approach

We work closely with industry partners, manufacturers, and R&D teams to co-develop solutions that address real-world challenges. From early-stage validation to application-specific formulation, our goal is to accelerate the adoption of next-generation materials across key sectors.
