*** 96-60026 Higgins This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will explore a novel process for economical synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles via microemulsion synthesis, which can be scaled readily to industrial-scale production. There are many methods for creation of nano-sized particles, but most synthetic techniques for nanoparticle production have rather limited potential for scale-up to manufacturing scale due to high capital costs, intrinsically low production rates, need for exotic/expensive precursor materials, limited applicability to many chemical compositions, and/or inadequate control over nanoparticle chemical and physical homogeneity. Phase I will study the use of water-in-oil microemulsions as "nano-reactors," a technique which has been used at a bench-scale to prepare nanoparticles in a number of chemical compositions using inexpensive equipment and precursors. This method of nanoparticle synthesis is thought to be free of the above limitations and to avoid a need in nanopowder manufacture to separate and recycle most of the microemulsion components for re-use. Commercial application of this process is expected to enhance production of inorganic nanoparticles for use in catalysis, structural materials, and microelectronic, photonic, and optical devices. ***

*** 96-60026希金斯这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）I阶段项目将通过微乳液合成来探索一种经济合成无机纳米颗粒的新过程，可以轻松地将其缩放到工业规模的生产。 有许多用于创建纳米尺寸颗粒的方法，但是由于高资本成本，本质上低的生产率，对异国情调/昂贵的前体材料的需求，有限的需求，大多数用于纳米颗粒生产的合成技术对制造规模的扩大规模的潜力相当有限。适用于许多化学成分和/或对纳米颗粒化学和物理同质性的控制不足。 第一阶段将研究将水中微乳液作为“纳米反应器”的使用，该技术已在台式尺度上使用，以使用廉价的设备和前体制备许多化学成分中的纳米颗粒。 这种纳米颗粒合成方法被认为没有上述局限性，并避免了纳米脂制造的需求，以分离和回收大多数微乳液成分以重复使用。 该过程的商业应用有望增强用于催化，结构材料以及微电源，光子和光学设备的无机纳米颗粒的产生。 ***
