Where Have All the Nanos Gone?

[brentb]

A few years back, everything was nano this, nano that. Now you don't hear of nanos. Have they disappeared?

Hi Brent,
Well, they are all there but are making 'nano noise'. The material suppliers are using them but there have been some issues and the growth slowed down a little. It works great on smaller batches, but may be scale up is an issue. Will try and read up and let you know.
Thanks,
Suhas

I believe the problems are mainly around dispersal. To get the desired properties the particles need to be evenly dispersed through the compounding melt and that does not appear to be easy to do on a larger scale.
