Synkera offers three types of nanotemplates produced
from anodic
aluminum oxide. These nanotemplates share the unique
morphology of anodic alumina, formed by uniform cylindrical
nanopores aligned in the direction normal to the substrate
plane, but each has a distinctly different pore termination:
nanotemplates attached to Al foil with the barrier
layer in place,
free-standing nanotemplates with pores open on both
sides, and
nanotemplates integrated onto non-Al substrates.
Synkera's nanotemplates are characterized by a highly
uniform high degree or pore ordering, a narrow pore
size distribution, and a uniform pore diameter across
the entire thickness. The standard deviation of pore
diameter distribution is typically better then 8%, and
in some cases is as low as 5%. Free-standing nanotemplates
have superior mechanical and thermal stability, far
exceeding that of anodic alumina nanotemplates produced
by other vendors (see section on Ceramic
Membranes for more details). For more details on
anodic alumina, please see the Technology
section.
The current nanotemplate specifications are summarized
in the table below. Most of Synkera's anodic alumina
nanotemplates could be ordered with pore diameter in
10-100 nm range. Please contact
us for product availability.
