2011 The present focus is on locating the best South African clays (Phylosilicate minerals) and their chemical modification as well as decoration with nanoparticles. The clays find application in polymer nanocomposites and cosmetics as well as in food and packaging sectors.
Goal: Development of the SA polymer nanocomposites market through the beneficiation of SA clays and the development of local IP in the field.
Specialties: Silicon nanoparticle (nanopowder) synthesis by the pyrolysis of silane, diborane and phosphine. Use plasma as well as catalytic wire methods.
