WHO WE ARE
In the world of nanotechnology, there are different classes of materials: nanoscale sized particles (much greater than 20 nm), Quantum Materials (less than 20 nm) and then, there are atomically- or nanoarchitectured Materials (atomic lattice restructuring to invoke quantum functionality, irrespective of particle size).
Conventional quantum materials are often capped with specific surfactant or ligands. While helping to enable particle size, shape and stability control during synthesis, these capping ligands are are detrimental for catalytic applications, since they block the binding sites where the necessary reactions occur and reduce catalytic activity and create uncertainties when the capped nanomaterial performance critically relies on surface area, composition & crystal structure.
NANOARC's QUANTUM MATERIALS Division has overcome this challenge and hence specialises in the design, manufacture & exclusive supply of atomically- or nanoarchitectured quantum materials, that are ligand-free. We expand nanotechnology beyond the perception that only certain sizes and or shapes of nanomaterials, are able to deliver specific functionality. A small piece of graphite doesn't necessarily yield diamond. We do not overlook dimensionality, our focus is on atomic architecture, to enable flexibility in nanomaterial design while facilitating compatibility. We employ nontoxic, sustainable chemistry methods. Even with constant size & shape, minute atomic shifts create unprecedented functionality & interesting architectures.
EXPERTISE
NANOARC has been in business for over a decade and is built on 20+ years of expertise in the nanotechnology sector.
In the world of (nano)material design, it is well known, that preparation determines (crystal) structure and the resultant structure, determines both the (nano)material and associated technology's performance. In the world of nanotechnology, nothing of significant interest, occurs outside the quantum domain i.e. << 20 nm particle dimension. Quantum-confinement, is the true expression of nanotechnology. Everything else, is just a fine powder, with performance not much different from microparticles.
Till date, NANOARC remains the sole nanotechnology company capable of manufacturing atomically-architectured quantum-confined nanomaterials, at industrial scale. This gives our clients and affiliates, a significant competitive edge and opens up further the opportunities to help companies and institutions advance their product deliverables and scientific research, respectively.
With our consultancy services, we offer support to both industrial and academic institutions, in the area of quantum-phase nanomaterial, design, manufacture and product development. Should you have a nanomaterial request not listed on our site, contact us to discuss a custom development.
WHAT WE OFFER
The strength of every technological system resides in the quality of the materials used to manufacture it. The advancement of fundamental and applied research also, relies on the discovery and understanding of phenomena through the study of effects generated in a reproducible manner, within materials. For the curious academics, this is a unique opportunity to explore quantum confinement phenomena beyond contemporary knowledge. With relative ease, the industrial client is poised to witness the raw strength of quantum-phase nanotechnology, by simply incorporating minute amounts of our materials as additives, within their designated systems.
PORTFOLIO
NANOARC offers a unique set of nanopowder architectures, designed and engineered to tackle specific industrial and academic challenges. Some of which include: Technological solutions for antimicrobial fabric, catalytic, corrosion resistance, UV-blocking, neutron shielding, cancer research, energy and engineering applications. The essence of nanotechnology, is that with little material, you can achieve your expected outcome and significantly more. The more refined and well defined the nanomaterial, the lower the dosage required as an additive to your technology.
