More than color: Applying nanotechnologies for the multifunctional ceramic pigments development

Ziel

The change in automobile and construction materials requirements has led industries to the
modification of bulk materials with nanoparticulate additives or to the application of later high
performance coatings in their materials to obtain better, cleaner, cheaper, faster and smarter
products [1]. However, there still exist some barriers to nanotechnology-based products
commercialization and use [2]:
- Manufacturing processes make the processes more complex
- High processing costs for nano-materials
- Need of qualified manpower
Modification of low-cost pigments could help to introduce nanomaterials (polymers, paints and
concrete) in the market as manufacturing processes in automotive and construction sector would
not be altered so there would be no need of qualified manpower. The high-performance pigment
(HPP) market performed well in 2006 and continued to grow for a number of reasons but many
of the raw materials used to manufacture HPPs increased in cost, thereby affecting the selling
price of the finished goods to some extent. The price of high-performance pigments is
significantly higher than classic pigments, and as a result, there are fewer producers of specialty
pigments and higher margins for the products.The use of modified low-cost pigment will help to
reduce the price of HPPs and consequently the price of nano-materials.
NANOPIGMY project seeks to produce cost-efficient multi-functional ceramic pigments with
more functionalities than color to give to the automobile and construction materials
(plastic, paint and concrete) the required functionalities through the use of these
nanotechnology-based pigments, avoiding thus changes in manufacturing processes.
