NanoChina

China is now one of the world leaders in terms of its number of newly registered nanotechnology firms. Over the past three years, the number of companies in the field of nanotechnology in China has grown and reached over 600. This growth rate is very rapid and it has yet to show signs of slowing down. The sales to date have been largely domestic, but with the increasing global interest on the development of nanotechnology and with the advantage of modern communication we can safely speculate that this could be a very profitable investment in the near future.

China has already led the world in establishing the first national standards of nanomaterials in the world. Meanwhile, without heavy restrictions in the area of environmental protection and bioethics, nanotechnology will find a free space to develop fast, not having to worry about the social controversy.

The current market situation worldwide is also looking very promising. 150 nanotechnology companies are listed on the stock market 2003 and about 2000 companies and organisations are working in this field worldwide. The leading countries are USA, Japan, China and Germany.And if you see the converging markets there are more companies importend from the stockmarket.

Industrial Nanotech Moves Into Chinese Market Under Semi-Private Label Arrangement

Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK), an emerging global leader in nanotechnology, today announced that the Company has chosen a manufacturing, sales, and distribution partner in China to capitalize on the country's growth and renewed interest in energy efficiency.

Naples, Fla. (PRWEB) June 5, 2009 -- Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK), an emerging global leader in nanotechnology, today announced that the Company has chosen a manufacturing, sales, and distribution partner in China to capitalize on the country's growth and renewed interest in energy efficiency.

As of May, 2009, China had already spent 230 billion yuan of the country's 4-trillion yuan (about 585 billion U.S. dollars) stimulus package, which was unveiled in 2009 to protect the world's third-largest economy during the global economic crisis, and ten percent has been directly invested in energy saving, pollution reduction and environmental protection projects, according to China's National Development and Reform Committee (NDRC). The NDRC is China's top planning agency.

"We have been working for several years to find the right business partner in China," states Stuart Burchill, CEO/CTO of Industrial Nanotech, Inc. "That effort became more intense late last year as China began to invest more heavily than ever into infrastructure, including an intensified effort to curtail its rapidly rising energy consumption. The coating manufacturing, sales, and distribution company we have chosen is well established, has been successful for many decades, and owns multiple factories throughout China. The company has a very substantial sales force and distribution channels throughout China, is ISI 9001 certified, serves both the industrial and residential customers, has an excellent reputation for both their products and customer service, and is expanding rapidly to build more factories to serve this fast growing region. The product will be sold under their company name, which is well known and highly regarded throughout China, but it will still retain the Nansulate brand and a reference to 'Technology by Industrial Nanotech, Inc.' and our logo. This allows us the dual opportunity to brand our corporate name in China while the product benefits from their company's strong name recognition. The name of the partner company will be released shortly prior to the release of the product for sale in China later this year."

Mr. Burchill continued, "Additionally, while we respect the integrity and honor of the company's principals and management, they understand that we have general IP concerns in this region and we have agreed to a relationship where our IP is further protected by the fact that we will send them premixed components under our own label which they will use to make the Chinese product. It is a very desirable arrangement in a market that provides Industrial Nanotech, Inc. with substantial additional revenue opportunities."

A new research center has been awarded US$2.39 million by the Danish National Research Foundation to continue a collaboration between Danish and Chinese researchers from the Nano Science Center and the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China. The foundation support will allow research centers to be established in both capitals. The Danish and Chinese researchers have been working together since 2006 to develop electronic components of "plastic," which has the potential to be used in the electronic, energy and communications industries. Professor Thomas Bjørnholm, leader of Nano-Science Center at the University of Copenhagen, said "[T]he new centre is an ideal framework to exchange researchers and equally importantly, research students, creating the best possible foundation for a fruitful research partnership. Now we have the opportunity to work together with some of the world's best scientists in the area of molecular nano-electronics. We have different research related expertise in Denmark and China, and by working together we will be able to compliment each other." The article can be viewed online at the link below.

Researchers in China have now further advanced the nanotechnology application of silver

June 2, 2009 Antibacterial nanotechnology multi-action materials that work day and night

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The fight against infections is as old as civilization. Silver, for instance, had already been recognized in ancient Greece and Rome for its infection-fighting properties and it has a long and intriguing history as an antibiotic in human health care. Modern day pharmaceutical companies developed powerful antibiotics – which also happen to be much more profitable than just plain old silver – an apparent high-tech solution to get nasty microbes such as harmful bacteria under control. However, thanks to emerging nanotechnology applications, silver is making a comeback in the form of antimicrobial nanoparticle coatings. As even the most powerful antibiotics become less and less effective, researchers have begun to re-evaluate old antimicrobial substances such as silver and as a result, antimicrobial nano-silver applications have become a very popular early commercial nanotechnology product.
Researchers in China have now further advanced the nanotechnology application of silver by developing a novel multi-action nanofiber membrane containing four active components, each playing a different role in the membrane's excellent antibacterial function.
While the preparation of multicomponent materials is not new, their fabrication usually is based on the co-precipitation method where the resulting materials are generally obtained in powder form – which makes their practical application difficult because it requires further steps to prepare coatings or thin films. The novelty of the Chinese team's approach is the development of a facile and effective approach to produce membrane or film materials with comparable or even higher antibacterial activity.
"Using an electrospinning technique, we have prepared a new kind of free-standing antibacterial membranes, which contain silver, silver bromide, titanium dioxide, and hydroxyapatite as four active components," Gunagtao Li tells Nanowerk. "In this antibacterial membrane, each component serves a different function: apatite as the adsorption material for capturing bacteria, silver nanoparticles as the release-active antibacterial agent, silver bromide nanoparticles as the visible sensitive and release-active antibacterial agent, and titanium dioxide as the UV sensitive antibacterial material and substrate for other functional components."

Using standard antibacterial evaluation tests, Li, a professor at the Key Lab of Organic Optoelectronic and Molecular Engineering at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, together with his collaborators, clearly showed that their nanofibrous membranes possess excellent antimicrobial activity under UV light, visible light or even in a dark environment.
Li points out that, compared to the four component system in powder form reported previously, the fabricated materials show double the antibacterial inactivation of E.coli under the same evaluation conditions, indicating that the addition of the electrospun membrane could significantly improve antibacterial efficiency. Additionally, the used technique has the potential to be scaled up to the industrial scale.
The Chinese team describe their findings in the May 26, 2009 online edition of Nanotechnology ("Multiaction antibacterial nanofibrous membranes fabricated by electrospinning: an excellent system for antibacterial applications").
Besides their superior antibacterial activity, the free-standing morphology of the prepared muticomponent membranes could be beneficial for numerous practical applications.
"Our experiments clearly demonstrate that the combination of the excellent antibacterial properties arising from the four components and the unique structure features of electrospun membranes is a promising approach for fabricating more efficient antibacterial materials," says Li. " It holds great promise for numerous potential applications in the areas of respirators, air conditioning filters and antibacterial coating."
Electrospinning is a facile approach for the fabrication of continuous fibers with diameters from the micrometer to nanometer scale. "However" as Li explains, "the successful preparation of desirable nanofibers with well-defined morphology is strongly dependent on numerous factors such as solution viscosity, the used solvent, solution conductivity, surface tension and the applied electric field intensity etc. Hence, how the electrospinnable solution is prepared is a critical point, especially for the case of multicomponent systems."
In their case, the Chinese team found that producing fibers by simply mixing the four components or precursors in different solvent systems failed. Experimenting with various processes, the scientists found an approach that works by fabricating silver and silver bromide nanoparticles in advance and then dispersing them in titanium dioxide and apatite precursor as feeding solutions.
Li says that the goal of his group's work is the facile fabrication of antibacterial materials with efficient and sustainable antibacterial activity as well as a broad-spectrum of antibacterial capability.
"Therefore, further improving the antibacterial activity of the prepared multicomponent membranes is the most important aspect that we will focus on in the future. By using hierarchically structured porous materials as well as more appropriate components, we hope that we can achieve more high-performance antibacterial materials and, ultimately, develop them into commercial products."
Although important progress has been made in developing efficient antibacterial materials, the easy synthesis of materials that simultaneously possess high antibacterial activity, a broad-spectrum of antibacterial properties, fast recovery capability, and sustained delivery of antimicrobial agents still is a major challenge.

China sees soaring development in nanotechnology

(Nanowerk News)June 8, 2007


The National Steering and Coordinating Committee for the Development of Nano-Science and Technology convened a conference to review the R&D advancement and its commercialization in the field on June 5 in Beijing. Present at the meeting included Chinese Minister of Science and Technology WAN Gang, Vice Minister of Science and Technology CHEN Jinpei, CAS Executive Vice President BAI Chunli and Vice President of the National Natural Science Foundation of China ZHU Daoben.
According to the meeting, China has poured about 1.5 billion yuan (about $197 million) into the research and development of nanoscience and nanotechnology over the past 15 years, achieving encouraging advances in this regard. For instance, the number of research papers published by Chinese scientists at the international journals in 2006 were on a par with those contributed by their US or Japanese colleagues. The number of patents they have filed for has increased from less than 1,000 in 2001 to more than 4,600 in March 2005.
Under the guidance of the national framework for nanoscience and technology development during the 10th five-year planning period (2001-2005), China made an overall deployment in the fields concerning nanoscience and nanotechnology, such as materials, information, energy sources, medicine and manufacturing. A flagship nanoscience research program has also been launched.
To step up R&D efforts, the country has set up the National Center for NanoScience and Technology, National Engineering Center for NanoTechnology and its Application, and various centers for nano-technology commercialization. At present, about 3,000 S&T workers from about 50 universities, more than 20 CAS institutes and some 300 enterprises across the country are working for nano-science and technology research and development.
So far Chinese scientists have scored many encouraging research achievements in the field, according to the participants. At the same time, the National Technical Committee on Nanotechnology of Standardization Administration of China was established. So far a total of 15 standards on nanotechnology have been issued.
However, the meeting pointed out the shortcomings in China's nanotechnology development, including unbalanced growth at various research directions, a lack of major breakthroughs, sustainability capacity, and technology transfer.
