• Lubricant additive. Bismuth remains a popular additive for industrial lubrications, working effectively without introducing toxicity or other hazards to a given compound.
• Nuclear heat transfer. The unique blend of magnetic, thermal, and other traits present in bismuth nanoparticles make this powder an optimal heat transfer medium for nuclear reactors—a role where only the best suited materials can be relied upon. As a proof of the potential in this arena, it’s hard to find a more impressive application.
• Medical imaging agent. Bismuth nanopowder serves as an effective contrast agent for medical imaging and certain forms of cancer treatment, making it one of the more heavily researched nanoparticles out there. Further medical applications are currently being investigated and offer quite a bit of promise.
• Metallurgical industry. Bismuth nanopowder sees frequent use in metallurgy, where it serves as an effective alloying agent for the production and joining of certain metals.
