Nanophase Technologies Announces New Product
ROMEOVILLE, Ill., Jan 7, 2002 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Nanophase Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: NANX), a leader in nanostructured materials and nanoengineered products, today announced the availability of a new line of high purity zinc oxide nanoparticles primarily targeted for electronic, personal care and other applications requiring UV protection combined with a very high degree of transparency. The new product line provides essentially spherical zinc oxide nanoparticles that are approximately 20 nanometers and feature narrow particle size distributions, while retaining their discrete non-aggregating properties. With this new line, Nanophase now offers zinc oxide nanoparticles in three distinct ranges: sixty (60) nanometer, thirty-five (35) nanometer, and twenty (20) nanometer. All product lines offer high particle and surface chemical purity and are manufactured to ISO-9001, USP, and cGMP standards.

"We believe that there are a variety of applications for these smaller nanocrystalline materials," stated Dr. Don Freed, Nanophase's vice-president of business development. "It has been demonstrated that different size nanoparticles of the same material may have distinctly different physical properties and behave differently in applications. We intend to expand our product offerings and plan to offer small versions of additional oxide products in the near future."

The new zinc oxide products are available both as dry powders and as stable dispersions in a variety of solvents, both aqueous and organic. The new products can also be surface treated using Nanophase's patented Discrete Particle Encapsulation (DPE) process and engineered to meet specific customer applications such as transparent coatings designed to protect against ultraviolet and infrared radiation (similar in concept to the Company's already successful sunscreen products, but designed for industrial uses).

The extremely low levels of heavy metal impurities make this zinc oxide suitable for high reliability electronics applications including capacitors, varistors, photoprinting and electrophotography. The inherent flexibility of the PVS process allows the company to manufacture various intermediate particle sizes to meet customer-specific applications.

Nanophase Technologies Corporation provides engineered solutions utilizing nanocrystalline materials for a variety of industrial product applications. Using proprietary technology to produce nanocrystalline materials, the company creates products with unique performance attributes. The company's global customer base includes Fortune 500 companies. Nanophase trades on the Nasdaq NMS under the symbol "NANX." Visit the company's web site at www.nanophase.com .

Nanophase Technologies Increases Revenue Guidance  
 
ROMEOVILLE, Ill., Mar 13, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Nanophase Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: NANX), a leader in nanomaterials and nanoengineered products, today provided additional guidance on expected revenue for the first and second quarter of 2002. The company now expects revenues of approximately $1.4 million for the first quarter and $1.6 million in the second quarter, or approximate revenue of $3 million during the first half of 2002. Planned revenue growth in the first half of 2002 represents an expected increase of 40% compared to the same period of 2001.

Planned first quarter revenue for 2002 represents a 13% sequential quarterly growth rate over the fourth quarter of 2001 and would represent the highest quarterly product revenue that the company has achieved. This would quickly be eclipsed by the second quarter revenue plan, which would represent 14% sequential quarterly growth compared to the first quarter 2002 estimate.

"Already in 2002, with product shipments to date, purchase orders, and annual supply agreements in-hand, the company has a current shipped and order backlog of approximately $4.6 million for the year," stated Joseph Cross, Nanophase's president and CEO. "We continue to forecast that revenues from established customers will be approximately $5 million for 2002, or a growth rate of 25%, plus we expect new business currently under development. Business development activity remains strong and we believe that Nanophase has higher quality and quantity of opportunities than at any time in its history, but our visibility on timing remains limited. We will continue to provide quarterly guidance, as it is appropriate. However, we remain cautiously optimistic about 2002-revenue growth and expect to have increased revenue growth during the second half."

ist zyklisch wie ein pendel und hat dabei nie enttäuscht. entwickelt sich auch recht unabhängig vom markt. wiedereinstig ab 6,8-7,00$ wird sich lohnen  

Ich denke, daß die Nanophase-Aktie genau wie ihre Konkorrenten, z. B. Nanogen usw. noch sehr viel Potential haben. Die Nanotechnologie steckt noch in den Kinderschuhen, aber dennoch gibt es bereits sehr viele Anwendungsgebiete für die Nanotechnologie, auch vieles praktisches aus dem alltäglichen Leben. Z. B. wasserfestes Sonnenöl, beschichtete Pfannen, leistungsfähigere Computer-chips usw..
