Poor solubility, rapid clearance, and off-target toxicity remain the most common barriers to therapeutic efficacy. Our nanomaterial-based drug delivery formulation services directly address these challenges by designing carrier systems that improve bioavailability, enable controlled release, and support active targeting strategies.
We develop a broad spectrum of nanocarrier platforms including liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, polymer nanoparticles (PLGA, PLA, PCL, chitosan), lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), nanocrystals, nanoemulsions, dendrimers, and mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Each system is selected and optimized based on the physicochemical profile of your active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and the intended route of administration.
Our formulation development workflow covers every critical stage:
- Feasibility assessment: Pre-formulation evaluation of API solubility, stability, and compatibility with candidate carrier materials.
- Carrier design & optimization: Systematic tuning of particle size, surface charge, drug loading, and encapsulation efficiency through advanced techniques such as nanoprecipitation, emulsification-solvent evaporation, and microfluidics.
- Surface functionalization: Conjugation of targeting ligands, PEGylation for stealth properties, or stimuli-responsive triggers (pH, redox, enzyme) for site-specific release.
- In vitro characterization: Complete analytical testing including DLS, zeta potential, TEM/SEM, drug loading quantification, release kinetics, and stability under accelerated and long-term storage conditions.
From oncology therapeutics to ocular delivery and nucleic acid encapsulation, our formulations are designed with translational viability in mind — ready for preclinical evaluation and scalable to clinical production.

Catalysis lies at the heart of chemical manufacturing, environmental remediation, and energy conversion. Nanostructured catalysts offer dramatically enhanced activity, selectivity, and stability compared to their bulk counterparts due to high surface-area-to-volume ratios, abundant active edge and corner sites, and tunable electronic properties. Our catalytic nanomaterial design services leverage these advantages to develop next-generation catalysts tailored to your reaction system.
We design and synthesize supported metal nanoparticles (Pt, Pd, Au, Ag, Cu, Ni, Co, Fe), bimetallic and core-shell nanostructures, metal oxide catalysts (TiO2, CeO2, ZnO, Fe3O4), and metal-organic framework (MOF) derived nanocatalysts. Our optimization process considers not just intrinsic activity but also mass transfer limitations, thermal stability, poisoning resistance, and recyclability.
How we add value to your catalytic process:
1. Structure-activity mapping: We correlate catalyst morphology, composition, and surface chemistry with catalytic performance to identify optimal design parameters.
2. Support engineering: Selection and functionalization of supports (alumina, silica, carbon, zeolites, MOFs) to maximize dispersion and prevent sintering.
3. Scalability assessment: Evaluation of synthesis methods for cost-effective scale-up without performance degradation.

Nanomaterial Thermal Management Solution Services
Figure 6: Graphene-enhanced thermal interface material with efficient heat dissipation pathways
As electronic devices become smaller, more powerful, and more densely packaged, thermal management has emerged as a critical design constraint. Nanomaterials offer exceptional thermal conductivity — often orders of magnitude higher than conventional materials at a fraction of the weight. Our thermal management solutions leverage graphene, carbon nanotubes, boron nitride nanosheets, and metal nanoparticles to create thermal interface materials (TIMs), heat spreaders, phase change composites, and thermally conductive encapsulants.
Beyond raw thermal conductivity, we engineer the filler-matrix interface and percolation network to minimize thermal boundary resistance — the hidden bottleneck in most composite systems. Our formulations are designed for easy application, long-term stability under thermal cycling, and electrical insulation where required.
