Nappar Technologies
Sculpting the future of nanoparticles
Idea in Science and Engineering
Introduction
An innovative process for producing nanoparticles at orders of magnitude higher purity while drastically reducing cost and production time, promising to transform a range of high-tech industries.
Problem
Nanometals, are the fabric of numerous cutting-edge technological breakthroughs, as their large surface encapsulated in a tiny space enable hyperconductivity and catalyzer properties. However, the existing highly fragmented supply chain of Nanometals, is showing signs of strain, with limitations in production capacity, scalability, and technological innovation. Current players are only able to cope with ~2 million metric tons of nanoparticles per year, supply that will need to at least DOUBLE by 2030 to match the upcoming advancements in the field of electronics, healthcare and renewable energies.
The production value chain dynamics are also broken, as:
1. It’s hard for the Research Labs to come closer to large enterprises to close the production gap
2. R&D departments from industry leaders (Nvidia in electronics or Pfizer in Pharma) directly buy the raw metal (e.g., copper) to later produce nanometals incurring in several operational and cost inefficiencies along the way
3. Current Nanometal specialists are left serving mid-tier companies
Opportunity
Our startup is poised to fill this gap by leveraging cutting-edge production technologies and scalable processes to ensure a reliable, high-quality supply of nanoparticles, driving forward the innovations required for future advancements
We have developed a a proprietary and cost-effective physical process to uniquely generate spherical nanoparticles of any size and purity. Our solution delivers:
1. 40% cost reduction in the end product
2. Higher stability of nanoparticles, avoiding reaction with oxygen and sulfurs
3. Customization of any size and purity to meet industry-specific needs
