Nanomaterials are materials that have dimensions at the nanoscale, i.e., between 1 and 100 nanometres in at least one of their dimensions. They can be obtained by various methods, such as controlled chemical synthesis, vapour deposition or mechanical disintegration of materials. The advantages of nanomaterials lie in their unique properties, which differ from those of traditional materials. They can have superior strength and durability, improved thermal and electrical conductivity, increased chemical reactivity and other special characteristics.
APEL LASER can provide solutions and equipment for the research, synthesis, characterisation and application of materials and nanomaterials. These can include advanced techniques for analysis and characterisation at the nanoscale level, tools and equipment for materials synthesis and processing, as well as consultancy and support in the development of nanomaterials-based applications.
Nanotechnology has the potential to bring significant benefits to society, such as improving medical treatments, increasing energy efficiency, reducing pollution and developing sustainable materials. It can help solve complex problems and improve quality of life.
