Solutions
Real-time Detection of Trace Contaminants in Water
By nanoparticulating organic dyes that were previously insoluble in water and dispersing them, it is possible to react with target compounds and achieve highly sensitive detection even in aqueous environments.
Enables real-time detection and monitoring of trace contaminants in the environment.
Next-Generation High-Voltage, Low-Cost Battery Development
Utilizing charged organic nanoparticles in electrolytes prevents unnecessary ion crossover through ion exchange membranes, enabling cost reduction and leakage prevention.
Contributes to the development of next-generation high-voltage, low-cost batteries.
Coolant Performance Enhancement
Adding nanoparticles at high concentrations to coolants increases thermal conductivity by breaking boundary layers while maintaining viscosity.
Significantly improves heat dissipation and cooling efficiency.
Safe and Cost-Effective Hydrogen Transport
In high-temperature dehydrogenation reactions, using nanoparticulated catalysts and thermal conductive fillers reduces the required temperature and reaction time, minimizing energy loss and enabling safer, more cost-effective hydrogen transport.
Reducing Side Effects of Anti-Cancer Drugs
By nanoparticulating anti-cancer drugs and imparting water solubility without carriers, the particles can pass through gaps in tumor vasculature and selectively accumulate at the target site.
Enables drug delivery with reduced side effects.
