MORRISVILLE, PA – Chemistries and deposition technologies available at Gelest Inc. are now detailed in a six-page brochure titled, “Micro-Particle Surface Modification; Innovating Particle Functionalization.”
Gelest provides focused technical solutions for surface modification in a broad range of applications, including glass, energy, textile, displays, ceramics, digital inks, thermoplastics, thermosets, biomaterials, printing inks, quantum dots, semiconductor, chromatography, nano-composites, imaging and printing, advanced composites, and optics and optoelectronics.
The brochure details the effects surface-treated micro-particles have on: rheological behavior; hiding power and color strength; dispersion, solubility and polarity; photo, chemical and thermal stability; mechanical and electrical properties; and moisture and corrosion resistance.
Coupling properly designed particles with targeted application requirements is the driver of the surface modification solutions offered in the brochure. Considerations in particle design include particle types (siliceous, non-siliceous and specialty), particle properties (morphology, crystal lattice, polymorphism, semiconductive and surface characteristics), chemical considerations (surface properties and bonding mechanisms), and deposition methods (anhydrous liquid phase deposition, bulk deposition onto powders, integral blend methods and vapor phase deposition).
