Nanostructured & Amorphous Materials Inc., founded in the Sept. of 2001, in Los Alamos, New Mexico State in the USA, is a nanopodwer materials supplier involving in the R&D, processing, and marketing of nanostructured, ultrafine-structured & amorphous materials.NANOstructured (powder) materials have dimensions typically ranging from 1 to 100 nm (10 angstrom = 1 nm =1/1000 micrometer). They can be calssified into four dimensional types:Zero dimensional: nanospherical particle. One dimensional: nanorod, nanowire, and nanotube. Two dimensional: nanoflake, nanodisc and nanofilm. Three dimensional: bulk nanostructured materials consisting of nanometer-sized grains or particles or nanoporous.Since the proportion of atoms in the grain boundaries or particle surfaces can be equivalent to those inside the grain or particle interiors for nanostructured materials, these grain boundaries and particles surface result in properties and performance that are largely different than those of conventional materials with larger particle or grain sizes. These unique properties and performance include (but are not limited to):Radiation absorption or shielding, better interface connection (in filler/polymer nanocomposites), high sensitivity for sensor devices, transparent pigments (when filler size Currently, our company is able to provide our customers nanostructured (1-100 nm) and ultrafine-structured (0.1- 5 um) powder materials in the forms of (a) Spherical or near-spherical, (b) Nano-shell, (c) Doped or alloyed, (d) Nanoporous, (e) Nanotube, (f) Nanorod, (g) some Nanodisc or flake, (h) Surface functionalized, (i) Pre-dispersed & (j) Dispersion of (1) Elements (metals, rare-earth metals, carbon, graphite, diamond, silicon, boron, and germanium); (2) Alloys (Al3Ti, TiAl, Al3Fe, etc.); (3) Carbon Nanotubes (single-/double-/multi-walled; short/long lengths; and functionalized); (4) Compounds (Carbides, Nitrides, Borides, and Fluorides);(5) Oxides (single-metal, multi-metal, doped or shelled, and rare-earth);(6) Semiconductors (silicon, boron, germanium, III-V, II-VI compounds); (7) Battery Materials (MLiOx, MAlOx, MTiOx MNbOx, MMoOx, MTaOx, MPOx, MMnOx, M = metal(s));(8) Polishing medias (Al2O3, CeO2, MgO, SiO2, SiC, and Diamond), (9) Magnetic Materials (Co, Ni, Fe & their oxides; ferrites); (10) Pigments, Minerals, Clays, and (Magnetic Fluids).
