Nanophase materials are defined by their unique or enhanced properties. These are achievable by assembling particles with aggregate dimensions ranging from 1-100nm. Nanophase materials are subject to research in academic, government and, more recently, industrial laboratories. Commerical applications for nanophase materials can be divided into three formats: bulk consolidated structures with nanometer grains; porous structures with nanometer grains and pores; and dispersions of nanometer particles in solvents.
