About
Navolta helps clients develop unique new nanomaterials where a substrate material is coated with an ultra-thin uniform film in order to convey unique new properties. With Navolta's unique particle coating technology, the possibilities are huge. Functional coatings. Navolta's coatings can be used to provide novel surface properties to your materials. For instance, adding a metallic layer of gold to an iron particle can provide a surface onto which you can attach biologically active ligands for use in biomedical applications. Protective coatings. Navolta's coatings can provide environmental protection for your materials. For instance, adding a thin film of cobalt to your material can prevent oxidation. Novel "digital alloys". Navolta's coatings can allow you to produce novel "digital alloys", coupling very different kinds of properties. For instance, coating a quantum dot with a thin film of a magnetic material can allow coupling of magnetic properties to optical properties.
