Description
Silicon Carbide (SiC) Nanopowder / Nanoparticles – Beta Phase (99.5+%, 50–70 nm)
Silicon Carbide (SiC) nanoparticles, in the Beta (cubic) phase, are high-performance ceramic nanomaterials known for their exceptional hardness, superior thermal conductivity, and excellent chemical stability. With a purity of 99.5+%, particle sizes of 50–70 nm, and a specific surface area of 40–85 m²/g, these nanoparticles are synthesized using the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method, ensuring consistency and high quality.
SiC nanomaterials are widely used in ceramics, refractories, composites, polishing abrasives, and high-temperature components. Their zeta potential of -27.5 mV ensures good dispersion in colloidal systems, making them suitable for both industrial and research-level applications.
