Nanotechnology Area
Nanophase Technologies Corporation is an industry-leading nanocrystalline
materials innovator and manufacturer with an integrated family of
nanomaterial technologies. The entire focus of Nanophase is nanotechnology, starting with two distinct and
patented processes for the preparation and commercial manufacturing
of nanopowder metal oxides including Aluminum Oxide, Zinc Oxide, Cerium
Oxide, Iron Oxide, Bismuth Oxide, Copper Oxide, Tin Oxide, Antimony-Tin
Oxide, Indium-Tin Oxide, and several others.
Description of Activities
In addition to economically manufacturing
the nanocrystalline materials in large volume, Nanophase’s family of integrated technologies can be used to
modify those materials to fit a customer need by surface treating
or dispersing the nanomaterial into a suitable medium. Treating
and dispersing nanomaterials is a valuable enabling set of technologies
because these coated materials and stable dispersions in aqueous or
organic media, provide companies with nanomaterials in readily usable
forms which improves the likelihood of success and often decreases
their time to market.
Nanophase produces engineered nanomaterial products for a variety
of diverse markets, including: personal care, cosmetics, medical diagnostics,
coatings, catalysts, textiles, antimicrobials, and a variety of ultra-fine
polishing applications, including semiconductor wafers, hard disk
drives, and specialty optics. Various applications include wood
preservation, anti-fouling and anti-microbial coatings, fuel cells,
catalytic converters, UV-attenuation coatings, scratch resistant coatings,
charge dissipating coatings, human topical sunscreens, deodorant/antiperspirants,
depilatory/shaving products, and others. As part of our growth
strategy, new markets and applications are constantly being developed.
Due to the many different
application technologies required to successfully introduce nanomaterials
into the wide variety of target markets, the Nanophase business model puts heavy emphasis on excellence in
developing and maintaining strategic partnerships. As examples,
Nanophase has worldwide mutually exclusive relationships with
BASF for zinc oxide in human topical sunscreen applications; with
Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials for ceria dispersions used in CMP
(chemical mechanical planarization) semiconductor applications; with
BYK Chemie for nanomaterials in coatings and plastics applications;
and with Alfa Aesar for the research materials market.
