Since 2005, Nanoshel has been exploring markets, developing innovative technologies, and providing breakthrough solutions using our Nanomaterials expertise. What's interesting about materials on the Nano Scale - Contrary to popular belief is that size really does matter.

That's because when familiar materials are reduced to Nano proportions, they begin to develop odd properties. For example, plastics can conduct electricity, gold particles can appear red or green and solids can turn into liquids almost spontaneously at room temperature.

While not all material is subject to change, the manipulation of such Nano change is a cornerstone of nanotechnology research.

At the Nano scale, substances may behave differently or better compared to the same substances at macro sizes. For instance. Gold can change Colour. Carbon can conduct heat and electricity better Silver has improved antimicrobial properties.

Other changes that occur to substances at the Nano scale can include: Becoming super-elastic. Becoming more chemically reactive. Getting physically stronger or weaker, and Being able to cope with massive changes in temperature and pressure. It's because of these unique properties that nanotechnology could be used in such a huge range of products.
