Avanta AC™ Advanced Ceramics Solutions offer unique advantages over inorganic bases in the manufacture of advanced ceramic nanoparticles. Austin, TX – June 24. 2008 – SACHEM has published a white paper titled “Avanta AC™ Advanced Ceramics Solutions as Enablers for Advanced Ceramic Nanopowders” online. This white paper outlines the challenges in manufacturing high-purity ceramic powders on a nanometer scale , as well as the advantages of SACHEM’s new line of products. Advanced ceramic nanopowders are critical to a variety of leading edge technology applications, ranging from electronics, superconductors, transparent conductive coatings and inorganic membranes for fuel cells.
Among a variety of potential production methods, solution-based chemical methods represent cost-effective and efficient methods of manufacturing nanopowders. SACHEM’s Avanta AC™ products can increase the manufacturing performance of these well-established manufacturing methods, including improved homogeneity, reduced particle size, narrowed particle size distributions, and gains in water wash efficiencies.
