In the scientific community, particularly in universities, THINKY Mixers are becoming more prominent as a way to mix challenging liquids, pastes, and powders in research into nanotechnology, batteries, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and many more applications. A simple Google Patents search for “THINKY” demonstrates the huge number of technology and scientific breakthroughs that relied on the abilities […]

An interesting exercise: go to Google Patents and search for the term “Thinky”. The results demonstrate the enormous range of original technology breakthroughs which have depended on the ability of Thinky mixers to mix challenging liquids, pastes and powders in nanotechnology, batteries, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and many more. Can we help you with your R&D?

Just published in its second edition is Polymer Nanocomposites: Processing, Characterization, and Applications by Dr Joseph Koo. This thoroughly revised guide offers a concise introduction to polymer nanocomposites that is ideal for engineers who need to use nanomaterials in real-world situations. Written by a recognized expert in the field, the book explains how polymer nanocomposites […]

The mixing together of liquids, pastes, powders and fillers is a critical process in many sectors, not least in pharmaceutical and cosmetics R&D and production. Getting a fully homogeneous bubble-free mix of materials, especially those with different forms or viscosities, is of paramount concern. Speed and repeatability of the pharmaceutical mixing process will aid productivity […]

In the impressive world of nanotechnology, getting to even smaller scale is increasingly important. For example, pharmaceutical companies who want their drugs to be faster acting on patients are considering nanoparticle formulation to improve the dissolution rate and solubility of their compounds. The THINKY NP-100 Nano Pulveriser breaks up particles using impact fragmentation, taking larger […]

The tendency for some nanoparticles to agglomerate or cluster into denser masses can lead to homogeneity and performance issues in their subsequent use. Existing methodologies to de-agglomerate them do not always produce uniform results, or can be invasive and wasteful. The Thinky PR-1 Nanoparticle Dispersion Machine is a desktop unit which can disperse carbon nanotubes […]

We are very pleased to announce our participation at the inaugural Engineering Materials Show, happening on June 2 2017 at the Roundhouse in Derby. The event will welcome decision makers and specifiers from across the UK’s engineering and manufacturing industry who share a professional interest in the practice, technology and science of materials. Key technology […]

In the arena of high technology and high performance materials the uniform dispersal of nano-sized particles in materials such as resin is extremely difficult work. Traditional methods have significant problems – consequently we are pleased to announce a solution in the form of the THINKY ARV-310 Mixer. The ARV-310 and its larger capacity sibling the […]
