9960509ManickavasagamThis Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project tests the feasibility of using polarized light scattering for characterization of nano-sized powder size and shape. Nanostructures are a novel family of materials that allow customized structural, electrochemical, electrical, electronic, optical, magnetic, and chemical properties. The development of nanomaterials into useful devices and products depends in large part on the ability to characterize these materials during synthesis, processing, and device production. Current characterization techniques are off-line, slow, expensive, and unreliable. Synergetic Technologies, Inc. (STI) will develop an innovative on-line, reliable, information-rich and real-time device. A precursor of the proposed system has been successfully used to characterize agglomerates of nano-sized soot monomers from combustion processes. Tasks include accuracy assessment and characterizing a variety of individual nanopowders and their agglomerates. STI has consulted with two leading commercial innovators in the nanomaterials area: Triton Systems and Nanomaterials Research Corporation. These companies have great interest in STI's technology and are eager to assist them in developing a system for on-line commercial use.Phase I efforts will focus on proof-of-concept, with special emphasis directed atcharacterizing the structure of nano-powder agglomerates.Phase II will involve building and integrating a prototype unitfor on-line testing at a production facility.

9960509Manickavasagam这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目测试使用偏振光散射表征纳米级粉末的大小和形状的可行性。 纳米结构是一种新型的材料家族，其允许定制结构、电化学、电学、电子、光学、磁性和化学性质。 将纳米材料开发成有用的器件和产品在很大程度上取决于在合成、加工和器件生产过程中表征这些材料的能力。 目前的表征技术是离线的，缓慢的，昂贵的，和不可靠的。Synergetic Technologies，Inc. (STI)将开发一种创新的在线、可靠、信息丰富和实时的设备。 所提出的系统的前体已被成功地用于表征从燃烧过程中的纳米尺寸的烟灰单体的团聚体。 任务包括准确性评估和表征各种单独的纳米粉末及其团聚体。 STI咨询了纳米材料领域的两个领先的商业创新者：Triton Systems和纳米材料研究公司。 这些公司对STI的技术有很大的兴趣，并渴望帮助他们开发一个用于在线商业用途的系统。第一阶段的工作将集中在概念验证上，特别强调纳米粉末团聚体的结构特征。第二阶段将涉及建立和集成一个原型单元，用于生产设施的在线测试。
