New product features with metallic nanoparticles
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is developing new techniques for the production of metallic nanoparticles. VTT’s new production reactor, operating at atmospheric pressure, reduces the production costs of multicomponent particles. It enables the production of metallic nanomaterials, which are not yet commercially available, for research and product development needs. The most significant applications for metallic nanoparticles currently have to do with the utilisation of their optical and magnetic properties, conductive inks and catalysts – and these are also the primary areas of
