Advanced Materials

DuPont Microcircuit Materials is introducing its first pure copper conductive ink for photonic curing, DuPont™ PE510 copper conductor.

The graphene industry has witnessed much activity over the past year. This article will discuss the latest developments in the graphene industry and will share our ten-year market projections.

Nanosys, since its inception in 2001 has focused on the development of quantum dots for displays, partnering with display companies along the way. Equally important, the company has developed one of the largest quantum dot patent portfolios with over 200 issued and pending patents worldwide. The patents cover everything from the fundamentals of quantum dot construction to component and manufacturing designs.

This new interest inspired developments in many technologies to 3D print a wider variety of materials. Each material has different advantages and disadvantages, gives different properties of the 3D printed object, and allows different applications. The properties of 3D printed materials often differ from their traditionally manufactured analogue. The seven key materials (photopolymers, thermoplastic filaments, thermoplastic powders, metal powders, sand and binder, welding wire, and plaster) have a total market of $800M which is expected to grow by 18% to over $8B by 2025.
