| Name: | Aluminum nanoparticles | |||||
| Packaging: | Antistatic plastic bags | |||||
| Molecular Formula: | Al | |||||
| Appearance: | Black powder | |||||
| Applications: | ||||||
| Efficient catalyst | Adding Al nanoparticles to solid (rocket fuel) propellant improves combustion speed and stability and substantially increases combustion heat. | |||||
| Conductive coating | A coating of Al nanoparticles can be prepared in an inert environment and below the melting point of the bulk material. | |||||
| Sintering additive | Al is useful as a sintering additive for aluminum nitride with sintering reduced to ~300 degrees C. Mixing 5-10% aluminum with ALN particles can improve the sintering processes of ceramics, increasing density and thermal conductivity of the sintered material. Provided it is used to make a substrate for components, the thermal conductivity will increase by 10X. | |||||
