@kicky wg. Nanophase

Huhu Kicky,

hast Du dich nicht neulich so richtig mit der Nanotechnologie auseinandergesetzt?? Hast Du da neue Erkentnisse gewonnen? Gibt es ernst zu nehmende Konkurenz zu NANX??

Berichte doch mal, was Du so rausgefunden hast. Momentan läuft NANX ja wunderprächtig. Hier noch eine neue Nachricht:

BURR RIDGE, Ill., Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Nanophase Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: NANX - news), a leader in
nanomaterials and nanoengineered products, responding to significant interest in a previously announced 3-year supply
agreement, today provided further details. The contract is to supply proprietary nanocrystalline material to BASF Corporation
for global distribution. Initial deliveries began with a manufacturing and delivery ramp in the first quarter followed by volume
increases in the second and third quarters. Since the company`s original announcement, the contract has been expanded with
Nanophase adding an additional proprietary processing step.

Nanophase expects the supply agreement to result in revenues of approximately $2.7 million during 2000 and increase
approximately 35 percent in 2001 with potential growth in later years. Concurrently, the company announced receipt of an
order for the material valued at approximately $1.2 million deliverable between September and December 2000. Nanophase
has included this supply agreement revenue in its previously announced 2000 target revenue goal.

``We are very pleased to establish this relationship with BASF Corporation, a global chemical and materials leader, especially
in such a significant and growing market application,`` said Joseph Cross, Nanophase`s president and CEO. ``This agreement
provides a significant revenue opportunity for Nanophase during 2000 through 2002 as we scale-up both revenues and
manufacturing capability. The Nanophase team has responded extraordinarily to meet the needs of the customer during the
scale-up and implementing an additional finishing process. BASF clearly appreciates the benefit and value of our technology, as
well as our integrated ISO and cGmp quality and manufacturing system, and we look forward to developing our relationship in
additional product areas.``
