Background
Since its inception, Strem Chemicals has focused on offering unique organometallic
compounds for both academic and industrial research purposes. Close relationships
with leading researchers in the field have enabled Strem to stay abreast of
the latest scientific advances in and regularly add novel chemicals to our product
portfolio. Most recently, Strem Chemicals
has embraced the emerging area of nanotechnology and formed a collaboration
with the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Kohlenforschung. A series of including metal nanoclusters, metal nanocolloids
(organosols and hydrosols), metal nanopowders,
metal nanoparticles, and magnetic fluids
are now available from Strem Chemicals.
