Aluminium oxide nanoparticles global market
In the coatings sector, aluminium and aluminium oxide nanoparticles are used for corrosion, scratch and wear resistance and display high thermal barrier properties as well as being superhydrophobic; in composites they provide high barrier, durability, fire retardancy, stiffness, thermal fatigue resistance, fracture toughness, creep resistance and wear resistance. Tensile strength is increased by factors of 2-4.
Advantages of Aluminium oxide nanoparticles
- Chemically stable.
- Mechanical strength enhancement.
- Electrical insulating.
