Nanomaterials
Blue Nano provides superior quality nanomaterials from metals, alloys and various carbon combinations. We offer a large selection of shapes and sizes in higher volumes than our competitors can match.
For general information on nanomaterials, see What Are Nanomaterials? and Why Use Nanomaterials?
The Blue Nano Advantage
Blue Nano’s scientists have developed a process to produce higher quantities of nanomaterials at higher qualities than current manufacturing methods. This process is unique to Blue Nano, but dramatically different and much lower cost than traditional nanomaterials production (which is slow, wasteful, high-cost and capital-intensive). We can produce significantly higher quantities of nanomaterials than our closest competitors, and customers have been repeatedly impressed with our material quality. Bottom line, Blue Nano provides the highest quality nanomaterials available anywhere.
Naming Convention
All Blue Nano nanomaterials are assigned a unique product name based on its unique properties (composition, shape, and size). The format is always [material]-[shape]-[diameter]. For example: SLV-NW-300 represents a silver nanomaterial (SLV) in the shape of a wire (NW) and a diameter of 300. Shapes include nanowires (NW), nanotubes (NT) and nanoparticles (NP).
Selection
The most popular nanomaterials are listed below, but our technology can work with most other metals and can create custom alloys, shapes and sizes.
SLV-series Silver Nanomaterials
Due to their optical, conductive and anti-microbial properties, silver nanomaterials can be used in everything from solar panels to touchscreen displays to high-intensity LEDs to medical imaging.
PT-series Platinum Nanomaterials
Platinum nanomaterials are widely used in catalyst applications, particularly catalytic converters. Platinum is also found in lab equipment, electrical contacts, dentistry and currency.
GLD-series Gold Nanomaterials
Gold’s unique properties (corrosion-resistant, conductive, easily forms alloys) have given it widespread industrial use in electronics and medicine among other areas.
COP-series Copper Nanomaterials
Copper nanomaterials trail only silver for thermal and electrical conductivity. Copper also finds significant use in hospitals due to its anti-microbial properties.
RBD-series Rubidium Nanomaterials
Rubidium is a highly reactive, soft, silvery-white metal used in a variety of chemical and electrical applications including thermo-electric generators, batteries, and medical imaging.
PLD-series Palladium Nanomaterials
Palladium is a rare, lustrous, silver-white metal which has numerous applications as a catalyst (catalytic converters, hydrogen purification, fuel cells) and electronics.
CNT-series Carbon Nanomaterials
Carbon nanotubes are some of the strongest and stiffest materials yet discovered and are key ingredients for a variety of structural and electronic applications.
