Nanotechnology is the foundation for inks used in printed electronics
NanoPrint Technologies is working closely with several ink manufacturers to help them continually improve the inks that they developed using nanotechnology specifically for printing electronics. These ink manufacturers rely on us to test their ink in a high volume production environment and give them feedback on how they can modify and improve the ink to better meet the needs of production printing of Printed Electronics (PE).
Nanotechnology is a relatively new field of science that deals with substances at the nanometer scale (1 billionth of a meter). At this size, substances have different properties than when they are lager and scientists are learning of these new properties and how to harvest them into productive uses for many fields of science including medicine and electronic inks.
Printed Electronics (PE) are made possible by nanotechnology and the new conductive, semi-conductive, and dielectric inks based on nano-particles, small molecule organics, and other recently discovered materials. Many companies are investing heavily to develop the inks necessary for PE. Design engineers are creating designs for electronic components based on these new inks, and many simple products are already being printed using these inks.
