Dr. Ajay Virkar of C3Nano will present on “An Advanced Materials Platform to Reshape and Reimagine Electronics”
When: 6:00 pm on November 9, 2022
Abstract:
C3Nano’s platform technology is being utilized to empower a wide variety of electronics ranging from smartphones and switchable windows to biomedical devices and transparent heaters for automotive applications. C3Nano will discuss this platform consisting of the highest quality and scale Silver Nanowires (AgNWs), Noble metal-coated Ultra-Nanowires™ with unprecedented stability and reliability, and its best-in-class ActiveGrid™ inks and coatings. These conductive coatings have outstanding flexibility and mechanical properties and are compatible with a broad array of flexible, stretchable, and formable substrates. C3Nano will also describe a recent technology breakthrough wherein its new ActiveGrid™ LT ink series can be cured at room temperature incredibly quickly (~25 C for ~ 1 min) to impart electrical conductivity on a variety of low Tg, soft, bio-compatible, and low-cost substrates targeting novel applications in displays, life-sciences, smart-packaging, and anti-statics. We will also describe how our NWs (and Ultra-NWs) are ideal materials for conductive fillers – achieving excellent conductivities at extremely low volume fractions (loadings) unlocking broad new applications and potentials in the multibillion-dollar conductive composites, adhesives and 3D-printing markets. Finally, C3Nano will discuss its some of its current commercial traction and how its technology platform is being used to generate smart surfaces and new functionalities in several of the aforementioned sectors. The ability to add electrical conductivity by depositing ActiveGrid ink as ultrathin layers on substrates, or by addition of low volume fractions of Nanowires and Ultra-Nanowires into composites, can liberate the imagination to enable new transformative displays, devices, and HMI experiences.
