The future belongs to nanotechnology

Nano is the future. Nanotechnology has tremendous potential to bring about major revolutions in practically every aspect of our daily life. In this field IBU-tec is the technological pioneer of a wide variety of products and applications.

The term nanotechnology refers to scientific developments related to structures less than 100 nanometre (nm) in size. A nanometre is equal to one billionth of a meter. Approximately 500 to 1000 individual atoms can be found across this length.

Materials of this size are distinguished especially by the ratio of their enormous surface to their volume and high reactivity. Its unique pulsation reactor technology is what puts IBU-tec in a position to easily develop nanoscale materials with precisely defined properties.

Nanoscale materials consume much less raw material and energy in further processing and make entirely new product properties possible. They have proven to be indispensable in several fields such as production of bioceramics. Besides, they can be used for entirely new solutions such as in air pollution control, water purification and closed-loop recycling. In a world where environmental compatibility and sustainability in industrial production have become major issues, nanotechnology will be one of the key technologies of the future.
