In conventional nanotechnology, nanoparticles fixed onto a material are buried in a plastic substrate or binder; as a result, only a limited number of them can have an effect. Using NBC Meshtec’s proprietary Nafitec technology makes it possible to evenly fix nanoparticles onto the surface of a material, thereby maximizing the surface area of the particles and their effect. Furthermore, since this technology was specifically developed for fixing nanoparticles onto mesh, they can be successfully fixed even to materials with complex shapes.
A variety of fixable nanoparticles are available, including antivirus materials, photocatalysts, enzymes and bactericidal materials. Using nanoparticles according to the application at hand is expected to provide a solution to problems in many industries. In addition, since it has been proved that evenly arranged nanoparticles can perform functions such as dust prevention and dust removal, we are currently exploring applications that also leverage these functions.
It is considered difficult to make metal adhere to plastic surfaces. Is it really possible to add a gold catalyst using Nafitec® technology?
