<html><head><title>Nanophase Reports First Quarter 2012 Financial Results</title></head><body><p align="right">EXHIBIT 99.1</p><h3 align="center">Nanophase Reports First Quarter 2012 Financial Results</h3><h4 align="center">The Company's Financial Conference Call is Scheduled for May 18, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. EDT</h4><p>ROMEOVILLE, Ill., May 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nanophase Technologies Corporation (OTCQB:NANX), a technology leader in nanomaterials and advanced nanoengineered products, today reported financial results for the first quarter, ended March 31, 2012.</p><p>
	Nanophase CEO and President Jess Jankowski commented, "Our 2012 goal is to report a third consecutive year of revenue growth and improve our bottom line. Revenue for the first six months of 2011 was accelerated as customers purchased inventory for manufacture of both personal care and polishing products, and then tapered off during the second half of the year. New products and applications are expanding our customer base, while we continue selling to existing seasonal customers. We believe this expansion will produce more consistency in our 2012 revenue, on a quarterly basis, with acceleration in some areas as the year moves forward."</p><p>
	<strong>First Quarter 2012 Financial Highlights</strong></p><ul>
	<li>
		Revenue for the quarter was $2.4 million, down slightly when compared to $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. <br>
		&#160;</li>
	<li>
		The net loss for the quarter was $0.8 million, or a loss of $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.03 per share, for the comparable 2011 quarter.&#160;<br>
		&#160;</li>
	<li>
		There is approximately $2.3 million in cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet; the company has no debt.</li>
</ul><p>
	Jankowski continued, "Last year we reported 60 percent of our revenue during the first half of the year.&#160;We expect this year to be weighted more toward the second half as we grow new business.&#160;Our overall strategy is to maintain growth with our existing customers, as we expand into diversified, non-seasonal markets."&#160;</p><p>
	<i>Shareholders and members of the financial community are encouraged to participate in the upcoming conference call, where Mr. Jankowski will discuss the company's current and long-term prospects.</i></p><p>
	<strong>First Quarter 2012 Conference Call&#160;</strong></p><p>
	Nanophase has scheduled its quarterly conference call for May 18, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. CDT (11:00 a.m. EDT). The call will be hosted by Jess Jankowski, president and CEO. To participate in the conference call, dial 877-312-8776 (for international callers dial 408-774-4007). The conference ID number is 80947196.</p><p>

	<strong>Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information</strong></p><p>
	Nanophase believes that the presentation of results excluding certain items, such as non-cash equity compensation charges, provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors, facilitating the evaluation of performance across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures for internal planning and reporting purposes. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or net income per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.</p><p>
