- OVERVIEW -
Every technology, is only as good as the materials used to manufacture it. The materials used for technically demanding applications, require utmost attention to detail in material design, to ensure reliability and longevity. Any flaws in material design, lead to detrimental consequences, that can go as far as being life threatening.
In order to prevent critical failure of ceramic and glass systems, it is crucial to understand the source of failure in these systems and how to rectify or better still, prevent system breakdown altogether.
As a Quantum Material design and manufacturing company, we have identified a unique opportunity, to hone on the singular benefits of nanotechnology, in order to resolve material design issues in industries utilising ceramic and glass material systems.
- KEY DESIGN FEATURES -
Two factors challenge the integrity of a ceramic and glass materials, eventually determining their ability to resist cracks, stain and agents of degradation - pores and porosity
I. Porosity essentially refers to the ratio of voids to solids in a material. These contribute to sites of mechanical weakness within a ceramic material. Porosity is measured by the amount of water a tile can hold, expressed as a percentage of it’s own weight.
II. Pores on the other hand, are holes or openings on the outer surface of the material.
Minimising the porosity and the density of pores is essential in tailoring the durability and performance of ceramic and glass systems.
Nanotechnology is an invaluable tool necessary to achieve these goals.
- OUR SOLUTIONS -
NANOARC's Quant-Ceramic Division designs and manufactures ultrafine quantum material-based nanoadditives (Quant-Ceramics), with dimensions small enough to fill sub-microscopic pores while simultaneously, reducing the porosity of the entire ceramic composite.
Our Quant-Ceramic nanoadditives serve in the development of advanced ceramic and glass systems to confer such materials with elevated mechanical strength in conjunction with a lighter weight, enable high energy density storage, enhance optical transparency, enable superior radiation attenuation, thermal resistance, antimicrobial, anti-fungal properties, including stain-resistance.
Quant-Ceramic nanoadditives can be purchased exclusively via our website.
