Y-MITE powders and dispersions are inorganic yttrium-oxide nanoparticles. Y-MITE-A products are uncoated and hydrophilic. Y-MITE-O products are coated with an organic silane (1-4%) and are hydrophobic. Particles are available in the size range of 10-200 nm. They are also available as a dispersion through the AE Nanofluid production group. Nanofluids are generally defined as suspended nanoparticles in solution either using surfactant or surface charge technology. Nanofluid dispersion and coating selection technical guidance is also available. Other nanostructures include nanorods, nanowhiskers, nanohorns, nanopyramids and other nanocomposites. Surface functionalizednanoparticles allow for the particles to be preferentially adsorbed at the surface interface using chemically bound polymers. Development research is underway in Nano Electronics and Photonics materials, such as MEMS and NEMS, Bio Nano Materials, such as Biomarkers, Bio Diagnostics & Bio Sensors, and Related Nano Materials, for use in Polymers, Textiles,Fuel Cell Layers, Composites andSolar Energy materials. Nanopowders areanalyzed for chemical composition by ICP, particle size distribution (PSD) by laser diffraction, and for Specific Surface Area (SSA) by BET multi-point correlation techniques. Novelnanotechnology applications also includequantum dots. High surface areas can also be achieved usingsolutions and usingthin film bysputtering targets and evaporation technology using pellets, rod and foil.
