Nanopowders

Advanced Fibers & Powders has developed technologies and production methods for the production of metal oxide nanopowders from a variety of precursor materials.

• The nanopowders synthesized by AFP's processes can be simple (one metal ion) or complex (two or more metal ions).
• Control of operating conditions can yield different crystalline phases of the same metal oxide species.
