In describing the nanomaterials synthesis portfolio, Toyota
also gives this explanation: Starting with any zero-valent element from Groups 2 through 16 of the periodic table (such as
manganese, tin or even carbon), a versatile reagent can be
formed that provides a gateway to the creation of essentially
any nanoparticle. The resulting complex can then undergo a
simple transformation to the desired nanoparticle.
Initially, the technology was developed by Toyota researchers
for use in various automobile components incorporating magnetic materials such as power locks, power windows, power
seats, electric motors, power electronics and more. But it can
be used in any application that requires the use of nanomaterials. Potential licensing categories include handheld electronics, medical devices, water purification systems, industrial
contamination remediation, magnets for actuators and motors,
lightweight structural materials.
Another portfolio in the program, Electronics Thermal Management, covers cooling strategies that can be integrated
into a power-dense electronics system to quickly control and
dissipate the heat generated by the system. These patented
materials, designs and methods can be incorporated into
many types of systems, particularly small form factor systems,
to decrease the overall heat load. As a result, more powerdense and efficient systems can be created.

Pensana Selects Site for Rare Earth
Processing Facility in UK
Pensana Rare Earths has selected the
Saltend Chemicals Park in England as
the site for its proposed rare earth processing facility as part of its venture to
establish a sustainable magnet metal
supply chain fed by its mine property
in Angola.
It would become one of only a few major producers outside China of rare earth oxides used in the
manufacture of rare-earth permanent magnets. Lynas Corporation of Australia is currently the world's largest non-China
producer of magnet metal rare earth oxides from its facility in
Malaysia. Pensana is looking to commence development of its
Longorio mine in Angola in the first quarter of 2020 and bring
it online as the first major rare earth mine in over a decade. It
is being established to international standards as one of the
world's most sustainable rare earth mines, says the company.
The industrial park is a cluster of chemicals and renewable
energy businesses including BP Petrochemicals, Ineos,
Nippon Gohsei and Air Products, strategically located on the
Humber estuary, a gateway to Europe and the UK's busiest
ports complex. It is located on the northeast coast of England
near Hull.
Pensana is based in London and listed on the London stock
exchange. For more info, see www.pensana.co.uk.
