EVQ-218: Characterization of High-Energy Nanoparticles that Measure up to NIST Standards.

ABSTRACT: EVQ-218 is a high-energy produced nanoparticle (NP) with a method of manufacture that avoids chemical or biological synthesis. The patented single-step process generates stable, pure metal NPs directly into HPLC grade water. Laser ablation via the multiple cross laser system occurs at a rate that is in the region of dielectric breakdown, generating temperatures and pressures akin to those of diamond formation. The spherical particles from this method have an ultrastable shell structure that inhibits the hallmark ion emission that occurs in other nanosilver species. The resulting particle size distribution is so narrow that additional size refinement or stabilizing chemistries are not necessary. These properties make EVQ-218 an attractive clean and green alternative to traditional nanosilve
