SBIR Phase II: Reactive Nanoparticles as Destructive Adsorbents

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目的重点是开发和优化反应性纳米颗粒（RNP）的连续，易于扩展和经济的合成;表征和控制这些材料的物理和化学性质;开发用于生产复杂纳米颗粒金属氧化物的灵活合成方法;以及鉴定和建立质量控制程序。为了开发商业上可行的纳米材料用于民用和军用市场，这一努力至关重要。 正如第一阶段研究期间所证明的那样，使用专有连续工艺生产的纳米材料具有与以分批模式制备的纳米材料相同的化学和物理性质。 该研究范围广泛，涵盖了许多重要的市场，包括用于军事和民用应用的去污技术，改进的催化剂和催化载体，工业气体洗涤以及高效空气和水净化系统的活性成分。 这些市场应用中的每一种都代表了这些高活性纳米材料市场机会的初始子集。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project focuses on the development and optimization of a continuous, easily scalable and economical synthesis of reactive nanoparticles (RNPs); characterization and control of physical and chemical properties of these materials; development of flexible synthesis approaches for production of complex nanoparticle metal oxides; and identification and establishment of quality control procedures. This effort is critically needed in order to develop commercially viable nanomaterials for applications in both civilian and military markets. As demonstrated during the Phase I research, nanomaterials, produced using the proprietary continuous process, possess the same chemical and physical properties as those prepared in a batchwise mode. The research is broad and spans a number of significant markets including decontamination technologies for military and civilian applications, improved catalysts and catalytic supports, industrial gas scrubbing, and active ingredients for high efficiency air and water purification systems. Each of these market applications represents an initial subset of the market opportunities for these highly reactive nanomaterials.
