Technical Notes
Technical Note 1 - Hydrophobicity Characterization of Silane-Treated Titania Samples of six different lots of high purity rutile titania produced by Primet’s Nano-Scission™ process were treated with an alkoxysilane and characterized with respect to hydrophobicity. Prior to silane treatment, the BET specific surface area of these materials ranged from 62 to 116 m2/g and the equivalent spherical diameter (ESD) from 22.7 to 12.1 nm.
Technical Note 3 - Nano-Mica Primet has synthesized nano dimensioned mica from a muscovite ore material. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) of the processed material showed that the particles retained the platelet morphology characteristic of mica and that, in general, they had a diameter of approximately 1micron and thicknesses ranging from 10 to 30 nm.
Technical Note 4 - Nano-Silicon Primet’s Nanoscission™ technology has been used to synthesize nano-silicon with platelet morphology and primary particle size as small as 20 nm. Particle size and morphology were evaluated using specific surface area (BET method), acoustic spectrometry (Dispersion Technology’s DT-1200) and SEM. Table 1 summarizes specific surface area and acoustic spectrometry results for five different lots. Figures 1 through 4 present SEM results for lots NS4 and NS5.
