The Critical Role of Materials Science 

The speed of acceleration in nanotechnology innovation is unprecedented. Whether nanotubes, rods, particles, or fibers (commonly called nanomaterials) we understand the properties required for the manufacture of materials at nanoscale and are present in a wide variety of solutions across applications in pharmaceuticals, electronics, and coatings.

We are seeing our materials used in novel applications such as magnetic nanoparticles, composite particles, polymeric particles, and self-assembly.
