NANOMATERIALS COMPANY

Nanomaterials Company is the Philadelphia metropolitan area's first nanotechnology company. We are a contract manufacturing and process research and development company servicing the defense, aerospace, automotive, textiles, nutritional supplement, electronics and specialty chemical industries. Nanomaterials is located in Malvern, a suburb of Philadelphia, and derives many ancillary services from the rich resources located there. We are dedicated to the development of nanomaterials, nanomaterials processing and applications, and associated enabling technologies. Nanomaterials derived its process technology from key technical achievements at Los Alamos National Laboratory and has continuously expanded its technology base since then Our business is devoted to the exploitation of size-dependent materials properties exhibited when its architecture is on the nanometer scale and to the design and manufacture of proprietary enabling processing equipment.

We are presently developing relationships with industry to facilitate our emerging commercial aspirations which include:

A)   Supply major chemical manufacturers and distributors with complex
nanopowders and nanostructured materials for resale under their label

B)   To supply process tools to manufacturers interested in producing specific nanopowder products

C)   Research and product development services to the industry and government, and

D)  Licensing proprietary processing technology to organizations interested in supplying the exploding nanotechnology market with nanopowders.

Our mission is to enhance the performance of your products and the processes to produce them.

The Nanomaterials Company occupies a 5000 square foot facility in an industrial park convenient to major highways and mass transportation. Our expertise is focused on the production of free, unagglomerated, monodisperse, nanopowders having complex composition, and clean (naked) surfaces. We define nanoparticles as free particles having an average diameter well below 100 nm and typically in the 1 – 30 nm range with narrow particle size distribution. Our legacy has been the production of difficult materials with exacting specifications that are not otherwise commercially available. 100% of all manufacturing is done in the US.

Central to the Nanomaterials technology base is our proprietary GEN 1.5 particle production tools capable of the continuous production oxide and non-oxide nanopowders with a wide range in composition. The design capacity of the tool is 1 kg per hour. This tool has been used to produce many complex nanopowders (please see "Nanopowders"). Also at our facility is a full complement of other ancillary materials processing equipment to affect precursor production, and support process development. We also possess materials characterization tools to ensure the products we produce meet or exceed your specifications. We operate according to written operating procedures that along with reactor configuration and other specific details, become part of the permanent records associated with your lot number. During production all reactor operating parameters are recorded at 5 second intervals. The system can "playback" an entire run for diagnostic or replication purposes.

Within the local vicinity of the Nanomaterials Company, are university user facilities and independent testing laboratories that include modern analytical and materials characterization instruments. These facilities augment the characterization services we provide to our customers in the event more detailed analyses are required.
 

Our specialty

We specialize in the production of nanomaterials having complex
composition and exacting particle size and particle size distribution
and tailored surface characteristics. Additionally we also provide
customers with materials processing solutions and equipment to meet the needs of the emerging nanomaterials and ultra high purity market.

Since the beginning of our commercial development enterprise we continue to explore new ways to produce better materials and better processes to achieve higher manufacturing capabilities.

Nanomaterials customers include industries seeking to improve their
products or increase margins by lowering manufacture costs and the US government seeking new ideas for the development of tools which will provide them with strategic advantages.

The Nanomaterials Company specializes in the development of new
materials and new processing techniques for their manufacture. The Nanomaterials company employs a diverse array of materials synthesis techniques to develop and manufacture advanced materials with exacting specifications and extreme performance.

NANOTECHNOLOGY

Where does Nanomaterials fit into the “Nanotechnology” picture.  Signa-Aldrich Chemical Company has kindly provided us with a graphic from their nanomaterials catalog featuring products for materials science which represents one of several possible nanotechnology organization chart. We believe their efforts represent a fair and balanced picture of the field today We have superimposed our logo onto the regions where Nanomaterials is pursuing commercial endeavors.
