Nano compounds are often prepared in solid form using the traditional and available mixing and extrusion devices. Now you can optimise these sensitive processes.
Nanotechnology – typical applications:
• Improving mechanical properties
• Increasing the electrical conductivity
• Increasing thermal conductivity
• Biocide / antibacterial
• UV absorption
Dispersive and distributive mixing:
• For nearly all mixing application a well dispersed and well distributed mixture is required
• Distributive mixing can be achieved by splitting and reorienting the flow repeatedly
• Dispersive mixing can be achieved by passing the mixture through small regions of intense deformation
