NANOARC’s proprietary Quant-Ceramic nanoadditives redefine the performance, durability and versatility of aerospace materials. Engineered for the extreme demands of aviation and space travel, our nanoadditives enable mechanically reinforced, lightweight, heat- and radiation-resistant materials while also supporting self-sanitising solutions for closed systems.

OUR QUANT-CERAMIC NANOMATERIALS DELIVER:

• Wear-Resistant Surfaces
  Nano-ceramic additives reduce friction and surface wear extending the operational lifespan of aerospace components.

• Corrosion Protection
  Advanced nano-ceramic coatings safeguard parts against harsh environmental conditions ensuring reliability under extreme aerospace environments.

• High-Performance Thermal & Radiation Barriers
  Ultra-thin, transparent nanomaterials provide superior heat resistance and radiation attenuation while maintaining durability even under extreme conditions.

• Lightweight, Ultra-Strong Composites
  Nanoadditives reinforce composites to withstand vibration-induced fatigue reducing maintenance needs while supporting longer service lifespans.

LIGHTWEIGHT & TRANSPARENT RADIATION SHIELDING

Traditional radiation protection systems are often heavy and opaque—limitations that hinder navigation, fuel efficiency and safety. NANOARC addresses this with lightweight, thin and highly effective radiation shielding materials made possible through our Quant-Ceramic nanoparticles.

Scientific studies consistently show that nanoparticles outperform microparticles in radiation attenuation: as particle size decreases, shielding effectiveness increases. Infused into coatings, these nanoparticles enable thin, transparent layers capable of protecting against thermal neutrons without the weight penalty of conventional materials.

WHY QUANTUM MATERIALS MATTER

Quantum materials are nanomaterials with at least one dimension below 20 nm. Their unique properties allow:

• Enhanced Radiation Shielding
  Quantum nanoparticles achieve higher absorption with lower material loadings compared to micronised fillers reducing weight while improving protection.

• Improved Composite Strength
  Nanoparticles fill the porous regions of composites more efficiently strengthening the material while delivering superior radiation attenuation.

• Versatile, Lightweight Coatings
  These materials keep coatings thin, transparent and adaptable, essential for aerospace applications where weight is critical and radiation protection is mandatory.

This technology is vital for astronauts, flight crews, frequent flyers and onboard electronics, all of whom face elevated radiation exposure at cruising altitudes—where neutron fluxes can be hundreds of times higher than at ground level.

This system is designed for superior stealth, radar absorption and electromagnetic management. With flakes up to 2 µm wide, it delivers 5–10 times more efficient microwave and RF attenuation than conventional magnetite powders and standard nanoparticles. Lightweight and dispersible, it enables ultra-thin, broadband stealth coatings and efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding across the 100 MHz to 40 GHz range.

It is optimised for electromagnetic radiation including RF, microwave and low-THz frequencies. By combining dielectric and magnetic loss mechanisms, it provides broadband electromagnetic absorption, outperforming traditional radar-absorbing materials with less material thickness.

APPLICATIONS:

• Radar-absorbing coatings for aerospace and naval platforms

• Broadband EMI shielding for electronics in the 100 MHz–40 GHz range

• Advanced stealth and sensor systems

• Fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and drones

• Aerospace and naval radar-absorbing coatings

• Armoured vehicles and land defence systems

• Electronic devices and EMI shielding solutions

• Advanced stealth and sensor systems

KEY ENHANCEMENTS OVER CONVENTIONAL MATERIALS 

REDUCED COATING THICKNESS: Effective EM absorption with 50–100 µm layers, compared with 200–500 µm for conventional coatings

• WEIGHT EFFICIENCY: Coating weight reduced by ~75–80%, enabling lighter and more efficient platforms

FUEL & OPERATIONAL SAVINGS 

• • FIXED-WING AIRCRAFT: Reduced coating weight lowers fuel consumption by 0.3–0.5% per flight hour per 100 m² coated area, extending flight range by 2–4 km per 100 m², with cumulative gains across full aircraft surfaces

• • HELICOPTERS: Weight reduction improves rotor efficiency, manoeuvrability, and mission endurance, allowing longer flight times or additional payload

  • DRONES & UNMANED AERIAL VEHICLES: Extends battery life, operational range and payload capacity, enhancing surveillance or mission capabilities

  • NAVAL VESSELS: Lighter coatings improve fuel efficiency, speed and manoeuvrability over long deployments

  • LAND VEHICLES: Weight reduction improves manoeuvrability, payload capacity and transport logistics, allowing for more equipment or armour without exceeding vehicle limits

• TEMPERATURE-INDEPENDENT PERFORMANCE : Maintains magnetic properties from 2 K to room temperature

• BROADBAND ABSORPTION: Dual dielectric and magnetic loss mechanisms provide efficient shielding from 100 MHz to 40 GHz with low-THz capabilities, outperforming conventional materials

DEFENCE ADVANTAGES

• Ultra-thin coatings allow stealth optimisation without compromising mobility or operational range

• Reduced weight and improved manoeuvrability enhance tactical deployment and mission flexibility across all platforms

• Efficient EMI shielding protects sensitive electronic systems in aerospace, naval, land, and unmanned platforms

DOSAGE

COATINGS (DRY POWDER LOADING PER UNIT AREA): 

• • 50 µm coating: 10–15 g/m²

  • 100 µm coating: 20–30 g/m²

  • 150 µm coating: 35–50 g/m² (for low-frequency or maximum stealth/absorption)

COMPOSITE/BINDER LOADING:  5–20 wt% of total matrix

APPLICATION TIPS:

• • Apply in multiple thin layers rather than a single thick layer for broadband efficiency

  • Ensure uniform dispersion for optimal EM shielding

  • Avoid excessive loading to prevent unnecessary weight increase
