NANOPOWDERS OPPORTUNITIES PRODUCTS MICROGRAPS	NANOPOWDERS Nanopowders are powders composed of nanoparticles, that is particles having an average diameter below 50 nanometers (nm). We further restrict our definition to below 30 nm. True nanoparticles exist free to move in relationship with each other and accordingly when not in liquid suspension resemble smoke particles. A jar of a true nanopowder when emptied from chest height to toward the floor will disperse into the air before reaching the floor. Most manufacturers of “nanopowders” produce micropowder assemblies of nanoparticles but the powder itself is rarely a nanopowder. A complex nanopowder is a nanopowder where each individual particle is composed of a complex chemical compound. Such compounds have two or more different cations (positively charged elements) in their chemical formula. An example of a complex compound is calcium titanate (CaTiO3). OPPORTUNITY For every application of nanopowders having simple (single cation) composition it is estimated there are over 100 applications for nanopowders having complex composition (multi cation). For this reason we specialize our nanotechnology research in the manufacture (and handling) of true nanopowders with complex composition for nanocoating. If the problem warrants our capabilities, we will produce simple nanopowders, such as oxygen free aluminum nitride, or nanoparticles having plus or minus one nanometer on their particle size distributions. PRODUCTS Below we provide an abridged list our nanopowder compositions. There are thousands of complex compounds we can synthesize.
