NanoSperse LLC works closely with technology developers and end users to speed the process of innovation throughout the supply chain. NanoSperse licensed technology for dispersion of nanoparticles in January 2004. The technology was developed jointly by the Air Force Research Laboratory located at Wright-Patterson AFB and the University of Dayton Research Institute. NanoSperse maintains a close partnership and ongoing relationship with the University of Dayton Research Institute(UDRI) as a primary commercialization pathway for emerging nanocomposites technology. NanoSperse is scaling up its dispersion technology using manufacturing equipment funded by The State of Ohio Third Frontier Initiative.

The ONS will offer a unique opportunity to get a first-hand perspective on the potential that this exciting technical field holds. The 2007 program will feature four main areas: Nano Materials, Nano Processing, Nano Biomedical and Nano Photonics and Electronics.

Long description

Third Annual Ohio Nanotechnology Summit Set for April 24-25, in Akron, Ohio

What:

The 2007 Ohio Nanotechnology Summit (ONS) is the largest statewide event involving business, universities and federal research institutions throughout Ohio and the country to discuss cutting-edge and ongoing nanotechnology research and commercialization. The ONS will offer a unique opportunity to get a first-hand perspective on the potential that this exciting technical field holds. The 2007 program will feature four main areas: Nano Materials, Nano Processing, Nano Biomedical and Nano Photonics and Electronics.
Keynote Speaker:

Jack Uldrich, internationally-acclaimed nanotechnology consultant and the author of The Next Big Thing is Really Small: How Nanotechnology Will Change the Future of Your Business will demonstrate why nanotechnology is vital to the future of Ohio’s economy. He will describe the concrete steps that Ohio’s business, political and educational can – and must – begin taking today in order to prepare for the sweeping changes that nanotechnology will create tomorrow.
Why:

The goals of this year’s summit are to provide an update of Ohio’s nanotechnology research and commercialization activities, deliver perspectives from national nanotechnology experts regarding Ohio’s efforts, and foster and promote new and existing collaborations leading to increased economic development opportunities. Ohio has a vast support system for nanotechnology research and commercialization activities and is poised to capture a significant portion of the estimated $3 trillion, worldwide, in new products and services by the year 2015.
Who:

CEOs and CTOs; research and development professionals; scientists and engineers; technology transfer officers; investors; state and local government officials; economic development professionals; military representatives; professional and academic administrators; and graduate students.
When:

Tuesday, April 24, 2007, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Wednesday, April 25, 2007, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Where:

John S. Knight Center, 77 East Mill Street, Akron, OH 44308

Long description

Nanotechnology generally refers to particles and structures in the size range of nanometers. Particles this small, have a very large amount of surface area in relation to their volume. This enables them to impart superior characteristics to products in which they are successfully dispersed. What do we mean by liquid nanotechnology? Liquid nanotechnology is the way Ecology takes nanotechnology out of the realm of curiosities and puts it to work in the real industrial world.

Ecology’s 100% solids UV curable coatings are the perfect medium in which to disperse nanoparticles. Unlike aqueous media, our 100% solids coatings allow dispersion without clumping or agglomeration which destroys the surface/volume ratio. Superior properties are preserved. A large variety of nanoparticles may be used, for a great variety of purposes. Nanoparticles may be combined with larger ones. Such an arrangement packs space very densely, resulting in superior hardness and water resistance.

Nanoparticles may be chosen to impart extreme abrasion resistance. Ecology has taken this to a level that surpasses the performance of hard chrome --- without the regulatory woes. Nanoparticles greatly enhance hiding power. Ecology has produced a pigmented coating that can be applied in one coat at a thickness of one mil producing an instantly cured, opaque, corrosion and abrasion resistant surface. Coatings may be produced in either glossy or matte finishes. Nanoparticles enhance ease of handling. Spraying techniques are simplified enough to be handled by minimally trained personnel.

Performance of materials can be influenced by their minute structural features. Materials with features that can be viewed with an optical microscope have microstructures. Materials with even smaller features have nano structures. Specialized instruments and expertise are needed to observe and analyze these tiny structures.

PolyInsight has unique experience observing and analyzing nanostructures. We specialize in using scanning-probe microscopy (also known as atomic-force microscopy) to investigate the structure of and properties of these materials.

More importantly, we use this structural information to gain knowledge about material performance. This knowledge ultimately helps address your materials production issues or guide new product development.
