Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for the controlled synthesis of nanoparticles using a high temperature process. The reactor chamber includes a high temperature gas heated by means such as a plasma torch, and a reaction chamber. The homogenizer includes a region between the reactant inlets and the plasma (the spacer zone) to ensure that feeds from the reactant inlets are downstream of the recirculation zone induced by the high temperature gas. It also includes a region downstream of the reactant inlets that provides a nearly 1 dimensional (varying only in the axial direction) flow and concentration profile in the reaction zone to produce nanoparticles with …

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 16, 2003. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 16, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 16, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
