FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who are Nano Hybrids?

    Nano Hybrids is a nanotechnology start-up that develops hybrid core-shell nanoparticles to address the critical challenges of high-impact technological fields like biomedicine and gas-sensing. Spun-out of the University of Amsterdam, we are on a mission to bring nanoparticles from lab to impact. Our new synthesis method reduces the environmental impact of nanoparticle synthesis by removing the need for polluting solvents, while providing advantages in terms of versatility, cost-effectiveness, and simplicity.

  • What is a nanoparticle?

    Nanoparticles are a key enabling technology for the next technological revolution. Core/shell nanoparticles, an advanced type of nanoparticles, demonstrated potential in addressing global health threats like cancer, sepsis or malaria. However, their manufacturing processes rely on lengthy solvent-based methods, lack versatility, and yield contaminated products, hindering clinical translation. The Functional Materials group (University of Amsterdam) developed a new technology supporting the automated and solvent-free synthesis of high-purity core/shell nanoparticles. This innovation allows complex nanoparticles to be produced with tailored properties for specific biomedical challenges and holds the potential for significant societal impact by providing opportunities for innovation in healthcare applications.

  • What makes Nano Hybrids unique?

    Nano Hybrids stands out from the competition with its unique properties: Their solvent-free production process leads to high-purity nanoparticles and smaller environmental impact compared to conventional methods. Additional benefits include: Ease of use increases operational efficiency and streamlines production processes; Automated production removes the need for an operator during production; Versatile nanoparticle formulation enables surface properties to be adjusted to end-user needs; Closed-system design improves safety; Advanced nanoparticle architecture (core-shell) provides added features like enhanced electrical conductivity, and further improves performances in the right use-cases.
