Commercialization of Nanoadditives (Graphene, CNTs…): Labs to Market

Last update on Jun 23, 2017

Through the application of nanotechnology, existing products such as fuel, cement, or food can be enhanced in their physical or chemical properties by means of nanoadditives / nanofillers manipulated on:

Atomic Scale
Molecular Scale
Superamolecular Scale

Based on the application, the manipulation can enhance the properties of the material, improving its strength. For example, it could make the material lighter, and perhaps even boost its electrical conductivity. Graphene, Carbon Nanotubes (CNT), and quantum dots are some examples of nanoadditives that can be used to such ends.

Nanoadditives generally fall in the size range of 1 and 100 nanometres, and are generally synthesized from inorganic materials. Due to their nanosize and minimal loading requirement, nanoadditives are eclipsing conventional fillers in today's industries.

Let's take a look at some commonly available nanoadditives that are used in various industries.
