3/25/2023 0 Comments Carbon metal ion bonding![]() ![]() ![]() We have our liquid precursors that flow into our reactor system, and we use a combination of elevated pressures and temperatures to then nucleate and create the particles from a ‘bottom up’ approach. I like to think of it as the analogy of a shower compared to a bath, the latter being batch. We use continuous flow as opposed to batch. That essentially means we are using hot pressurized water or hot pressurized organic solvents as our reaction media to create the particles. SA:We have reactor systems that are designed to operate in a continuous manner using hydrothermal or solvothermal synthesis. ![]() ![]() What is it about your processes that allows the manufacture of multiple materials on such a large scale in a cost-effective way? Promethean particles operate the largest continuous nanomaterial manufacturing plant in the world. When the opportunity with Promethean came along, it felt like a great fit and an exciting opportunity to do something different. I have some prior experience looking at silicon nanoparticle inks for printed electronics. Prior to Promethean, I've always worked for large American corporations. This led me to pursue my MBA at Manchester Business School. I quickly moved on to the sales, marketing and business management side as I was very interested in what other functions and activities chemical companies did outside of the core manufacturing and engineering operations. I did my master's in chemical engineering at Swansea University back in the mid-'90s, but I only spent about four years doing "real engineering” before getting bit by the commercial bug. I have 25 years of experience in the chemicals industry. I have been here for about two years now - I started in September 2020. James Stephenson (JS): Hi, I'm James, the chief executive at Promethean. It was a bit of a segue away from that into chemical engineering, but I very much enjoyed it. My project had a ‘bio’ slant as my first degree was in Biochemistry and Genetics. During my Ph.D., I was essentially using the company's proprietary technology to develop nanomaterials, mainly looking at the synthesis of nanomaterials that could be used for biomedical applications. in chemical engineering at the University of Nottingham - which was sponsored by Promethean. I've been with the company for coming up to 10 years now and, prior to that, I did my Ph.D. I manage and supervise the technical team here. In my role, I oversee all of our R&D activity and new product development. Selina Ambrose (SA): I'm Selina Ambrose, the technical manager at Promethean Particles.
