Cerium Oxide is
manufactured using a patented Physical Vapor Synthesis process.
In this process, solid composite containing cerium precursor is vaporized.
This vapor is rapidly cooled in the presence of oxygen, causing nucleation
and condensation of nanocrystalline cerium oxide particles. The particles
are non-porous and their surfaces are free of residual chemical
contaminants. During the process, the particles form weak agglomerates up
to tens of microns in size. These agglomerates can be reduced with
suitable dispersion techniques, providing a typical particle size
distribution ranging from a few nanometers to a few hundred nanometers.
Scientists are knowledgeable and experienced in the application
of nanocrystalline powders and dispersions in a wide variety of fields.
They are available to work in close cooperation with KIA customers to optimize
the performance of these products in commercial applications. KIA welcomes inquiries regarding new
nanocrystalline compositions, as well as
customized surface areas, particle size distributions, overall purity
levels, specific impurity limits, surface treatments/coatings, and
dispersions. |
