Microparticles

What Are Microparticles?

Microparticles are solid particles with sizes typically ranging from about 1 to 1000 micrometers. Compared with bulk materials, their smaller size provides a larger surface-to-volume ratio, which improves reactivity, dispersion, and packing behavior while remaining easier to handle and process than nanoscale powders. This balance makes micron powders valuable across biomedicine, electronics, energy storage, and materials science. Nanografi offers a wide range of microparticles tailored to the unique needs of these industries, with cost-effective, reliable, and high-performance solutions.

Types of Microparticles

• Metal micron powders such as nickel, iron, and electrolytic copper
• Ceramic and carbide micron powders including silicon carbide and tungsten disulfide
• Oxide and rare earth micron powders such as gadolinium and lanthanum oxides
• Bio-based micron powders like hydroxyapatite for biomedical use
• Graphite and mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) for battery applications
• MAB, MAX, and MXene materials for advanced energy and electronics

MAX Phases and MXene Materials

Among our most advanced microparticles are MAX phases and the two-dimensional materials derived from them. MXenes are produced from MAX phases through selective etching, yielding materials with exceptional conductivity and tunable surface chemistry. Their performance has made them a strong competitor to other 2D materials, as explored in our comparison of MXene versus graphene, and they play a growing role in advanced energy storage systems.

Applications of Microparticles

Microparticles serve a broad range of industries. In energy storage, graphite and mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) are widely used as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries. In biomedicine, hydroxyapatite micron powders support bone repair and implant coatings. Metal micron powders such as nickel and copper are used in electronics, conductive pastes, and metallurgy, while ceramic powders like silicon carbide serve abrasives, refractories, and structural composites. Other applications include catalysis, coatings, additive manufacturing, and polymer reinforcement.

Microparticles Price and Market

Demand for microparticles continues to grow across energy, electronics, healthcare, and manufacturing, driven by the need for consistent, high-purity powders. Micron powder prices vary depending on the material, particle size, purity, and order volume, from research-scale grams to bulk industrial quantities.
