Silicon, Germanium, Tin and Metal-Organic Compounds




Nanotechnology
Gelest’s Silanes, Silicones and Metal-Organics are key components in a variety of nanotechnologies ranging from materials which owe their fundamental characteristics due to nanoscale fabrication, such as quantum dots, to coating and particulate materials that fabricate structures directly on the nanoscale level which are relateable to bulk behavior This directory heads refined application search areas.
