Since 2004, nanoComposix has provided monodisperse and unagglomerated metal and metal-oxide nanomaterials to thousands of customers. Collectively we have over half a million hours of nano-related experience and have learned a lot along the way – now we’re sharing much of that knowledge with you with free courses in all things nano! Join our mailing list to learn when new courses come out!
