American Elements Aluminum Nanoparticles

General DescriptionAluminum (Al) Nanoparticles, nanodots or Nanopowder are black spherical high surface area metal particles. Nanoscale Aluminum Particles are typically 10-30 nanometers (nm) with specific surface area (SSA) in the 30 – 70 m 2 /g range and also available in with an average particle size of 70 -100 nm range with a specific surface area of approximately 5 - 10 m 2 /g. Nano Aluminum Particles are also available in passivated and in Ultra high purity and high purity and carbon coated and dispersed forms. Applications for aluminum nanocrystals include as a support to create high surface area catalysts, in anti-microbial, anti-biotic and anti-fungal (fungicide) agents when incorporated in coatings, plastics and textiles, and in super strong metals and alloys, such as nano-crystalline aluminium alloys for space applications as alternatives for titanium in components of liquid rocket engines (e.g. lines and turbopumps), since they are lighter and less susceptible to embrittlement by hydrogen, and in nanowire, nanofiber and in certain other alloy and catalyst applications. Further research is being done for their potential electrical, dielectric, magnetic, optical, imaging, catalytic, biomedical and bioscience properties.
