 Researchers at TopChim, a developer of materials and technology solutions for the paper industry, have integrated the Zetasizer Nano particle characterisation system from Malvern Instruments into the company’s nanoscience development program. One of the first nanoparticle technologies to result from the program was made available commercially last year. The patented NanoTope technology is used in paper production surface treatment and is designed to improve properties without the need for a coating. The Zetasizer Nano’s role in the development and manufacture of NanoTope has been two-fold: first in supporting the creation of a stable monodisperse suspension of nanoparticles of defined size; and second in quality control, to ensure the production of consistent materials. This has resulted in good understanding and control of those parameters affecting product performance.
