Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC(Nano)additives are additives that are added in minimal quantities to various materials to optimize their performance and functionality. Due to their nano- or microscale dimensions, these additives allow for precise interaction at the molecular or atomic level, resulting in a significant improvement in the physical, chemical or biological properties of the materials. (Nano)additives are used in all industries, including plastics, paints and coatings, and medical and cosmetic applications.
(Nano)additives for diverse fields of application
We produce customized nano- and microparticles that can be used for a wide range of applications thanks to their different properties.
From simple additives suitable for magnetic induction, to complex particles suitable for marker applications, to powdered supraparticles that can be almost completely decomposed into their primary building blocks, e.g., for homogeneous incorporation of nanoparticles into a matrix, and are easy to transport and handle.
