April 10, 2006 – Nanophase Technologies Inc., a developer of nanomaterials and advanced nanoengineered products, announced the initial order for a new application for industrial UV and antimicrobial protection for the transportation and marine markets.
The company said the application success is a result of collaborative efforts between Nanophase and an unnamed company. Ed Ludwig, Nanophase vice president of business development, said in a prepared statement that the core of the success in such new applications is the company’s ability to manipulate and disperse its nanoparticles.
