Other Applications

Commercial interest in nanomaterials is driven by the need for:

• Increased Customer Revenue — Nanomaterials can provide entirely new properties to the underlying matrix yielding substantial product differentiation and increased unit revenue.
• Reduced Customer Cost — Nanomaterials have been demonstrated to reduce product and process costs through the use of more effective materials, a reduction in material costs, and more cost effective deposition methods.

Northern Nanotechnologies uses its nanocrafting Process to develop a wide range of nanomaterials for industry. These can be seamlessly integrated with your products and processes and applied in or on most materials - steel, non-ferrous metals, glass, paints, resins, plastics, etc.

Most importantly, NNT can customize and tune the nanomaterials to match your company's requirements:

• Additives — NNT nanomaterial additives do not aggregate, and are very small and monodisperse, making them ideally suited as additives.
• Biology —NNT's contrast agents for biology include fluorophores, high-density materials for electron microscopy, and magnetic materials for MRI.
• Devices — The very small size of NNT Nanomaterials makes for increased utility in a wide range of devices: highly sensitive chemical or biological sensors, semiconductors, and nano "RFID taggants", among others.
• Others — Nanomaterials have useful properties as lubricants, flame retardants, sealants, binders, adhesives, and more.
