Innovation in Colloidal Systems and Nano Material Dispersions

At Quanto Nano, we specialize in the cutting-edge field of colloidal systems and dispersions of nano materials. Our technology harnesses the unique properties of nanoparticles, creating solutions that are transforming a range of industries and applications.

Colloidal Systems: Definition and Characteristics

Colloidal systems, in the context of chemistry and physics, are mixtures where one substance (the dispersed phase) is finely distributed within another substance (the continuous phase). The particles in the dispersed phase are larger than molecules but small enough to remain suspended in the continuous medium. These particles typically range in size from 1 nanometer to 100 nanometer, in some cases up to 1 micron.

Key Features of Colloidal Systems

Colloidal particles are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions. The nanoparticles in these colloids typically range from 1 to 100 nanometers, allowing for more surface area and interaction at the molecular level. Send Inquiry
The particles in a colloid are stable and don't settle out quickly under the influence of gravity. This stability often results from the particles being electrically charged, repelling each other and thus remaining dispersed. The small size and often surface-modified nanoparticles exhibit enhanced stability in the colloidal state, resisting sedimentation and aggregation. Send Inquiry
While colloids are heterogeneous mixtures, their particles are too small to be seen individually by the naked eye. Send Inquiry
Through nanoscale engineering, these particles can be designed to provide specific properties or behaviors in response to external stimuli. Send Inquiry
The high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles increases the reactivity and efficiency of colloidal systems. Send Inquiry

Properties & Behaviour

Colloidal particles exhibit random, eratic zigzag movements known as Brownian motion, contributing to their stability to maintain dispersion. Send Inquiry
Colloids can scatter light, a phenomenon known as the Tyndall effect, which can make the colloidal mixture appear cloudy or opaque, where a beam of light becomes visible as it passes through a colloidal dispersion. Send Inquiry
Colloidal systems often have higher viscosity than the continuous phase alone due to the presence of dispersed particles. Send Inquiry
Some nanoenhanced colloids are designed to react to environmental changes. And respond to changes in pH, temperature, or electromagnetic fields, enabling smart and adaptive materials. Send Inquiry
At the nanoscale, quantum mechanical effects can become significant, leading to unique electronic, magnetic, and optical properties. Send Inquiry

Formation and Stabilization

Dispersion Methods

Colloids can be formed by reducing the size of larger particles or aggregating smaller ones. Methods include grinding, emulsification, and condensation. Mechanical methods (e.g., milling, homogenization) or chemical methods (e.g., precipitation) can be used to disperse particles in the medium.

Nanoparticle production

Our proprietary top-down production Methods overcome typical limitations of other methods such as chemical reduction, sol-gel processes, or electrochemical techniques, enabling the production of nanoparticles with precise characteristics and constant quality without chemicals and lowest energy consumption.

Stabilization Techniques

Surface modification of nanoparticles with ligands, polymers, or surfactants can improve dispersion and stability within the medium. To prevent coagulation, clumping, settling or precipitation, stabilizing agents like surfactants may be added. Electrostatic or steric stabilization are also common methods.
