Nano Origins

CONSULTATION IS AVAILABLE ON A 24/7 BASIS (SINCE 2002)
Nanomaterials are continually evolving with time for various applications, including being used as reinforcements in nanocomposites. Nanocomposites may be viewed as abundant interface nanoscale systems having the ability to manipulate length-scales fundamentally important to many physical properties. Sometimes, this can impart multiple functions, which has led to a rapidly expanding scope and arena of application for these materials. In line with typical composite logic, the function of nanoparticles in a matrix is dependent on: (i) nanoparticle-matrix interaction and (ii) nanoparticle distribution in the matrix. This is with regard to any material property of the nanocomposites, be it crystallographic and/or electronic structure related.
The broad cross-section of contemporary research includes structure, processing, property, characterization, and modeling aspects of nanocomposite materials, including nanoparticle- and/or nanofiber-based materials. Consultation is solicited in (but not limited to) nanomaterials / nanocomposites for mechanical, thermal, energetic / catalytic, optical, magnetic, electronic, and biological applications. Multi-functional or green-energy applications are especially welcome. All consultation is for education purposes alone.
NanoWorld Innovations (NWI) is also involved with rocks and minerals.
