The Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology Research Center (CINN) presents novel ultrastable materials at Nanotech 2012 Japan
|
|
(Nanowerk News) Within the stand of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the CINN will show its novel ultralow thermal expansion ceramics, one of the most promising results developed by the CINN in recent years, in the framework of the European Project IP NANOKER.
|
|
These materials, for which 4 patents have been already filed, are based on crystalline lithium aluminosilicates nanocomposites. The main assets of the CINN materials are the combination of a high dimensional stability in a wide range of temperatures (from cryogenic to 450ºC) with enhanced mechanical, electrical and thermal properties.
Some of the fields in which these materials might be applied are: Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (particularly in masks, mirrors and wafer stages), Space and Earth Observation Systems (mirrors) and Concentrated Solar Power (receivers).

At Nanotech 2012, CINN aims to get in touch with companies interested in the exploitation of these patents.
