General Description

Silicon Carbide (SiC) Nanoparticles, whiskers, nanodots or nanopowder are spherical high surface area particles. Nanoscale Silicon Carbide Particles are typically 10 - 150 nanometers (nm) with specific surface area (SSA) in the 10 – 75 m 2 /g range. Nano Silicon Carbide Particles are also available in ultra high purity and high purity and coated and dispersed forms. Research into applications for Silicon Carbide nanocrystals includes use as a dielectric coating, in solar cell applications, as a high temperature insulator, as a gas sensor and for use in other coatings, plastics, polymers and wire.
