Nanoparticle colloids

are mixtures in which metal nanoparticle's are dispersed in a liquid medium. The particles of a colloid remain dispersed and do not settle due to gravity, and they are often electrically charged.

Product and Application 

We produce semi-monodispersed metal nanoparticles in a wide range of their size and shape by wet chemical synthesis and femtosecond laser ablation in liquids. Nanoparticles are applied in different fields from biomedicine to electronics and can be used as: probes sensors  therapeutic agents conductors catalysts, etc.

Advantages

Large surface area	Expressed catalytic properties
High light absorption in the visible spectrum	Good biocompatibility after surface functionalization

Synthesis technology

*Depending on the application, nanoparticles can be dispersed in different solvents or deposited on solid or flexible substrates.

Our nanoparticles primarily are prepared as one of the consumables for templated deposition or for your own needs.
