SiO2 (silicon dioxide)

All products: TiO2, Li4Ti5O12, Al2O3, SiO2, ZrO2, ITO, CeZrO4

Used in micro-electronic applications where its ability to serve as a superior electrical insulator with high chemical stability prove beneficial. The material can be used to protect silicon, store charge, block current and even provide a pathway for current to flow through a device.  These characteristics are all enhanced by utilizing a nanofiber form of silica.
