Nano-Engineered Materials
6K is the world leader in creating, designing, and innovating Nano-Engineering Materials for Advanced Applications.
6K’s microwave-based plasma system dramatically reduces cost and improves throughput and yield, while increasing control over particle size, purity, and morphology – thereby unlocking chemistry for advanced materials – and provides the platform for engineering nanomaterials for our Strategic Partners.
6K’s platform technology is tailorable for synthesizing nano and micron-sized powders, spheroidizing and densifying metal and ceramic powders, and depositing these materials on targeted substrates through plasma spray deposition.
6K is developing processes for Nano Material Surface Treatment of micron-sized materials with 6K’s UniMelt® capabilities.
6K is focusing on the following application areas where nano-engineered materials are critical components:
- Battery Cathode and Anode materials
- Optical Materials such as Advanced Nano Phosphors, Scintillators, and Quantum Dots
- Advanced Abrasives for CMP Polishing
- Advanced Pigments
- Advanced Nanomagnets
- New and Innovative Advanced Materials with Strategic Partners
