Currently, we are assessing the specific interests of various research groups who want to research and develop new building blocks, materials, and devices at the forefront of nanotechnology with our materials. We invite collaboration with outside research teams under suitable agreements. Interested researchers should contact MolecularDiamond Technologies to discuss potential collaborative programs that will allow us to provide the appropriate nanomaterials for experimentation and development.

Higher Diamondoids
With the success of our production process, we are producing significant quantities of higher diamondoids.  MolecularDiamond Technologies is in a position to make available under license small quantities of proprietary higher diamondoid materials to a limited number of leading academic, government, and company researchers.

Lower Diamondoids
In the process of producing higher diamondoids, we also isolate the lower diamondoids, diamantane and triamantane. At this time, lower diamondoids are available in kilogram quantities at high purity. We can cost effectively enable applications that use these materials.

MolecularDiamond^TM Product Research and Development
We offer the following services:

	Isolation and production of diamondoids
	Customization (derivatization) of diamondoids
	Development of derivative synthesis techniques
