Company profile
Nano Chemix Inc. is a deep-tech startup established in August 2023 and headquartered in Tsukuba, Japan. The company is a Japan-based materials developer working with metal-oxide nanoparticles and transparent nanocomposite materials for optical and optoelectronic uses. The company develops and manufactures OPTITE®, a precision-engineered nanoparticle additive for optical and materials applications. OPTITE® is designed to provide refractive-index performance while maintaining transparency, processability and compatibility with existing manufacturing workflows. Nano Chemix has developed precision-synthesis technology and surface-design technology for metal-oxide nanoparticles that can disperse transparently in organic materials. These technologies enable transparent composite materials using organic matrices that include a wide range of organic solvents, thermoplastic resins and thermosetting or UV-curable resins. The company's materials are positioned for advanced optics and optoelectronics, including high-refractive-index transparent materials, optical clear adhesives and nanoimprint-lithography materials for photonics and displays. For semiconductor and electronics users, Nano Chemix is presented as a supplier of functional nanomaterials for optical, display and photonic-device materials.
Exhibits
Nano Chemix fine synthetic technology produces highly homogeneous 10nm particles that can make a composite transparent. The nanoparticles can be dispersed in multiple media, including poler/non-poler solvents, monomer and polymer. The optical product concept includes a nanoparticle filler for optics and refractive-index improvement through the addition of TiO2/ZrO2. TiO2/ZrO2 are identified as high-refractive-index inorganic materials that can increase the optical property of plastics. Applications listed by Nano Chemix include lens units for smartphones, optical materials for glasses-type devices and Photonic Integrated Circuits, PICs. The company specifically identifies Photonic Integrated Circuits, PICs, for polymer waveguides as an application of its nanoparticle-additive technology. OPTITE® combines the nanoparticle-additive approach with refractive-index performance, transparency, processability and compatibility with existing manufacturing workflows. Across these products and applications, precision synthesis controls ultrafine particle formation while surface design supports dispersion into different organic media for transparent composite materials. Nano Chemix presents transparent composite materials technology as an enabling approach for scientific and technological advancement, linking nanoparticle synthesis, surface design and optical-material applications in the same development platform.
