ALD NanoSolutions (ALDN), Inc's patented Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) particle coating technology controls coatings at the nanometer scale and produces conformal, uniform, pinhole free, high purity, inorganic thin film nanocoatings on the surface of dry individual nanoparticles. ALD NanoSolutions is the first company to carry out atomic layer deposition on particle surfaces and on polymer surfaces (the coating can also be used non-particle surfaces) and because of this innovation, the U.S. and foreign patent offices have issued broad process and composition of matter patent claims for ALD, including more than 100 related claims. The company's techniques can be employed to produce passivated magnetic nanometals that have applications in areas such as drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) materials, and powdered magnetic cores. The technique can also be used in developing thermal fillers with improved properties, improved battery systems, polymer/ceramic nanocomposites, improved lighting materials, low-energy high-sensitivity sensors, thermites, dental fillers, catalytic materials and quantum tunneling surge protection devices. The company is connected to the George Group at Colorado University (CU Boulder.
