Recognizing that new users of nanomaterials will experience learning curve difficulties relating to handling and formulating nanoparticles, we offer a "solutions" approach to customers. If nanoparticles are not dispersed properly in solution, many of their beneficial properties targeted for the product can be lost. Air Products' Performance Material group has more than 40 years experience in developing chemistries and processes to stabilize the most intricate dispersions. We have applied that knowledge into patented technology to create stable nanoparticle dispersions in aqueous, solvent-borne and 100% solids systems. To assure optimum performance, only the highest quality nanoparticles are used . . . particles that disperse uniformly and are consistently sized. By supplying ready-to-use nanoparticle dispersions, we eliminate the need for customers to disperse the particles themselves, and the hassles of handling dry powders.

Air Products offers a series of standard nanoparticle dispersions specifically tailored for the development of transparent, colorless coatings with antistatic, conductive, fade-resistant and heat-blocking properties. Custom dispersions are also available. Our application engineers look forward to the opportunity to discuss your unique application. They will help determine the right particles and the best dispersing system to add-in needed properties to your system.

Cabot Corporation is a world leader in fine particles. We have manufactured high surface area materials for over 130 years. Recently Chemical and Engineering News had an issue devoted to nanotechnology. One of the articles listed and discussed the many new firms entering the field of nanoparticles. In that article C&E News referred to Cabot, describing us as venerable.

Currently the exciting new field is nanotechnology. Governments are investing heavily in research and development and you can attend at least one conference a week with nano in its title. At one of these conferences a few years ago, the plenary speaker announced that nano particles have reached commercialization and that sales exceeded $20 million in the past year. Of course they ignored that the fact that carbon black sales exceed $4 billion and precipitated silica sales exceed those of carbon black. They also ignored the many, many other fine particle products that go into almost every conceivable materials application.

What is nanotechnology? The numerous topics that are raised under the heading of nanotechnology are one of two types. The first includes very small ordered structures. The approaches to making these ordered structures apparently are also of two different types. One is the more or less conventional construction. Techniques such as the atomic force microscope or extremely resolved photolithography are being used to make micro-machines on an increasingly smaller scale. The other approach is termed "self assembly" and in its most complex form is the way the structures of living things are created. The techniques have in common the fact that the chemistry determines spatial structure.

The second type of topic includes fine particles or fine porous media that are more or less disordered. The varieties include truly disordered fractal particles such as those of aerosols, mono-dispersed spherical particles such as quantum dots, small fibers such as single or multi-wall carbon tubes, and templated porous or multi-phase particles. In general, these types of materials are made by precipitation, exploiting the phenomena of nucleation and growth. The precipitations can be single or multi-step and they can take place in media with low viscosity and therefore rapid mass transfer, such flames, or with high viscosity and therefore slow mass transfer, such as molten salt or polymer matrices.

The first type of topic is the area where the science and the technologies are developing the fastest. However, many new approaches to the second area have recently emerged and often they are ingenious and intriguing.

Cabot's core capabilities are in many aspects of the second type. We have excellent expertise in high temperature aerosol processes in both intellectual understanding and commercial operations. Similarly, we understand dense phase precipitations, with commercial operations using reduction precipitation of tantalum from molten salt and hydrothermal precipitation from aqueous solutions of mixed oxides, as well as large pilot plant operations in silica gelation for aerogels. In all of these areas, we have proprietary technologies that allow us to achieve particles or porous media with unique morphologies.

We also have proprietary technology for creating the desired surface chemistry on high surface are materials. Perhaps the most notable one is our ability to covalently bond organic groups to the surface of most of the many different forms of carbon.

We also understand many of the aspect of deagglomeration or deaggregation. We use both mechanical and chemical approaches to the problem where applicable.

Cabot is not a center of expertise for either of the process used in the first type of nano-technology. We have created a research capability in "smart" polymer design and fabrication. We are learning how to exploit such techniques as block copolymer self-ordering.

Our research and development programs are very strong in the second type or "conventional" nanotechnolgy. We are also investing in expanding our capabilities in at least some of the "new, hot" areas. We want to work with others to create solutions to materials problems.

Founded in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in 1914, Philips Research as part of Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. has expanded the scale and scope of its activities to become one of the world's major private research organizations. With laboratories in five different countries (The Netherlands, England, Germany, China and the United States) and staffed by around 2,100 people, our common vision is to create technologies that will lead to products for improving people's lives. Our activities have led to the award of some 100,000 patent and design rights, and the publishing of many thousands of technical and scientific papers.

The annual research budget of Philips Research is slightly less than 1% of Philips Electronics' annual sales, which amounted to more than 29 billion euros in 2003. Roughly two-thirds of the corporate research work is geared to the activities of the Product Divisions of Philips Electronics, with contractual agreements about programmes and costs. The remainder is research of a more exploratory nature. (Total R&D efforts of Philips Electronics amount to approximately 8% of sales.)

Scientists from a wide range of disciplines, from electrical engineering and physics to chemistry, mathematics, mechanics, information technology and software, work in close proximity, influencing and broadening each other's views. This implies that Philips Research reaps the benefits of synergy and cross-fertilization of ideas.

In close cooperation with the Philips Product Divisions, the Philips Research organization generates options for new and improved products and processes and produces important patents in many fields. These patents are important, because they protect technological achievements and enable Philips to gain access to the knowledge of others. Philips Research also provides a window on the outside scientific and technological world.
