Control Of Size And Shape Of Conductive Silver Nanomaterials And Effect On Properties (Printed Electronics USA 2016)

NANOGAP manufactures a broad range of nanomaterials including clusters less than 1nm in size, nanoparticles in the mean size range of 5 to 50nm, and high aspect ratio nanofibers/nanowires. Supplied in dispersion form, these materials are optimised for ink formulators needs and find applicability in conductive inks used in, for example, inkjet printed conductive tracks and screen/flexo/spray printed transparent conductive films and patterns. The control of nanomaterial size and shape and resultant influence on properties will be discussed.

Director at NANOGAP since 2009. Previously 11 years at Elementis in technical and commercial roles and 4 years at CPI as Business Development Director of NanoCentral. PhD in Chemistry from University of Glasgow.

NANOGAP manufactures ultra stable silver nanoparticle/nanofiber dispersions for ink formulators

• Ability to customize particle size/distribution, concentration and carrier solvent

• Stable, 70% silver nanoparticle dispersions for conductive inkjet formulators, now scaled-up and competitively priced

• Inkjet inks using our nanoparticle dispersions achieve 3x bulk silver resistivity

• TCF using our nanofibers achieve transmission >95% and resistance < 100 ohms/sq
