Particular's advantages

Due to its physical approach, laser ablation in liquids is generally different from chemical syntheses. Avoiding chemical precursors is useful for nanotechnology, as high purity is often required - for example in biological or medical applications or when a polymer is to be filled with nanoparticles without impurifying the matrix.

Nanoparticles from Particular offer the following advantages:

• high purity of the colloids without left over precursors or byproducts,
• economic production especially of nanoparticles from pure metals and alloys,
• long durability due to electrostatic and optionally sterical stabilization,
• organic solvents as possible direct dispersants without medium transfer.

Examples of unique applications enabled by Particular's method:

• nano-coatings from the same material as the workpiece to avoid additional material qualifications during product approvals,
• gold nanomarkers that are lasting and biocompatible (instead of bleaching fluorophores or toxic quantum dots),
• volume embedding of metal nanoparticles in polymers for longer effectiveness than that of coatings (ion release capacities up to several years),
• nanoparticle mixtures for coatings and volume embedding with adjustable function combinations.
