The Critical Role of Materials Science in Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is advancing faster than almost any other field in materials science — and the properties that define performance at the nanoscale differ fundamentally from those of bulk materials. Surface area-to-volume ratio, quantum effects, particle morphology, and size distribution all have a direct impact on how a nanomaterial behaves in its final application.
Goodfellow supplies nanotubes, nanorods, nanoparticles, and nanofibers across a range of elemental and compound compositions, supporting applications in pharmaceuticals, electronics, protective coatings, and emerging areas including magnetic nanoparticles, composite particles, polymeric particles, and self-assembling systems. Our materials are characterized to the specifications researchers and engineers need — with the technical support to match material properties to application requirements.

From Materials Selection to Nanoscale Fabrication
Nanomaterials applications demand more than a reliable supply of high-purity stock. Goodfellow supports researchers and engineers across materials selection, characterization, and fabrication — including electron beam lithography, ion beam etching, nano patterning, and stereolithography for precise positioning of nanostructures onto substrates such as silicon wafers.
Our catalog of 170,000+ advanced materials spans the full range of nanomaterial classes, with technical expertise to match material properties to application requirements — from semiconductor components and advanced electronics to nanomaterial-enhanced coatings for wind and hydroelectric power generation.
Nanomaterial Characterization Services
Accurate characterization is essential to understanding how a nanomaterial will perform — particle size distribution, morphology, and elemental composition must all be precisely determined before a material can be confidently specified for research or production use.
Nanomaterial characterization including DLS particle sizing, SEM analysis, and ICP-MS elemental analysis is available through our ISO/IEC 17025-accredited specialist materials testing laboratory.
