Delivering Nanomaterials-Based Solutions for Your Products

Northern Nanotechnologies is an innovative nanomaterials company that develops and supplies custom nanomaterials solutions to manufacturers using our patent-pending NNT Process.

The NNT process delivers nanomaterials that are:

Customizable - Using the NNT process, we can control the composition and structure of practically any kind of nanoparticle, allowing us to make materials with properties appropriate for a wide range of industries.
Scalable – The NNT process provides access to quantities of customized nanomaterials ranging from lab-scale to commercial production. While most nanomaterials manufacturing processes are limited to small quantities of select types of nanomaterials, the NNT process removes these limitations.
Cost Effective – The relative simplicity of the NNT process eliminates the cost of expensive and complicated equipment needed to manufacture current nanomaterials. We also ensure that our product is compatible with your processes, reducing the need for process modifications and related costs. Furthermore, shortened time-to-market and commercialization provides better return on your R&D investment.

Our NNT technology allows us to control the composition and structure of practically any kind of nanoparticle including metals, alloys, oxides, inorganic salts, and organic nanoparticles. We can create customized, innovative nanomaterials for a wide range of industries with properties appropriate for your individual needs.

Nanomaterials produced from the NNT process have unique characteristics that lead to significant advantages for our customers. Examples include:

Compatibility - In addition to the wide range of nanoparticles we can produce, we can further modify our Nanotemplate shell to ensure that our materials slot seamlessly into our customers’ manufacturing processes.
Structure and Size Control - Our nanoparticles are monodisperse and 2-5 nm in size leading to an extremely high effective surface area for our materials.
Solubility - Our materials are very stable in liquid solution and do not aggregate during normal usage.

Do you want to increase profitability and differentiate your products? Northern Nanotechnologies Inc. develops a wide range of innovative, cost effective and safe products specifically for our customers. We deliver leading edge nanomaterial-based solutions that can seamlessly integrate with your products and processes.
