A key competitive advantage lies in the quality and stability of dispersions of nanomaterials. This is a key
requirement for optimal performance when incorporating nanomaterials into industrial applications, and is
evidenced by the success of customers who are using Nanogap products. Recently, an internationally
recognized reference materials laboratory chooses Nanogap products among many others commercially
available as source of reference materials.
Nanogap currently offers the following products:
• AQC's: The atomic quantum clusters (AQC's) are stable clusters of 2 to 150 atoms in the range of 0.5 to
2 nm. The AQC are available in silver and gold, and can be prepared according to specific customer
requirements including changes to the cluster size, surface functionalization, concentration and the
solvent. Nanogap is the only industrial producer worldwide of this product, which owns the exclusive
exploitation rights.
• Nanoparticles: available in silver and iron oxide with sizes between 5 and 50 nm. Our nanoparticles can
be prepared according to specific customer requirements, including changes in particle size, surface
functionalization and the solvent chosen.
• Nanofibers Silver: products with a high aspect ratio supplied in dispersion, containing a low amount of a
polymer to prevent aggregation.
• Conductive Inks: based on proprietary technology Nanogap, this product uses silver nanoparticles that
give excellent conductive properties and injection.
Main related relevant activities/projects
INFENA: Spain´s R&D Agency INNCORPORA program-TU 2011 for the incorporation of a
graduate in the research project "Investigation of new formulations of nanodispersions hetero
dimensional conductive metal‖
FP7-CLIP: Project funded under the 7 th Framework Programme, with the aim of developing low
cost conductive inks for printed electronics. The new inks contain different sized nanoparticles to
improve the packing of the particles and decrease the sintering temperature of the ink.
FLEXAD: Collaborative project funded under the EUREKA program. This project aims to develop
high performance conductive adhesives to replace lead-based solder used in the manufacture of
electronic components. NANOGAP develops and supplies dispersions of conductive silver
nanofibers used as a key component in the new adhesives.
FP6-FLUOROMAG: FP6-EU Project that aims to integrate the development bioconjugates of
atomic quantum clusters of noble metals as new probes highly absorbent, fluorescent and
magnetic survey techniques for molecular and cell with improved sensitivity.
