What are ultra fine materials?
Ultra fine materials have significant and immediate market potential.  These materials can be loosely classified as materials between 100 nanometers and 1000 nanometers (1.0 microns).  Many industrial applications presently use materials with grain sizes in the 10's of microns.  There are numerous advantages in moving to smaller particle sizes, especially when coupled with tight particle size distributions.  Many benefits exist, in particular these materials can be expected to increase performance, extend the field of use, enable miniaturization and in many cases enable cost savings.  Ultra-fine materials can be produced in multiple metric tons and to very strict tolerances.  These materials and their dispersions can be integrated into pre-existing systems with little capitol expenditure while enabling significant improvements in product performance and fitness for use.

What we can do for you.
MPS has extensive experience in this field.  Our internal expertise combined with our network of industrial contacts, enables MPS to implement a full range of solutions.  We supply and have core competency in:

• Turn key systems for material production in the size range of 150 nanometer to 1000 nanometer.  These systems are available from bench-top to systems capable of producing multiple metric tons.
• Formulations development, from slips to dielectrics.
• Technology transfer and integration assistance.
• Production trouble shooting and due diligence.
• Integration of on-line monitoring systems.
• Sintering systems and furnacing.
