Self Assembling Nano-particle based Transparent Conductive Coatings (Printed Electronics Europe 2008)

Dr. Granstrom is Director of R&D at Cima NanoTech. Eric obtained his Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University of Minnesota, researching molecular semiconductors and OTFTs, having also attained an M.B.A. from the Carlson School of Management, and a M.S. in Applied Physics from Yale University. Before Cima NanoTech, he served in various roles in engineering and management at Seagate Technology. He has also been V.P. of Business Development for a pair of successful medical device and biotech startup companies, as well as a CFO for an IT startup. He has authored over a dozen US patents issued or pending.

Founded in 2003, Cima NanoTech is a smart materials company specializing in next-generation transparent conductors. We developed the proprietary SANTE® Technology, a self-assembling nanoparticle technology that forms a random mesh-like network when coated on a substrate, enabling transparent conductors with excellent electrical conductivity, high transparency and flexibility. SANTE® Transparent Conductive Films enable increased performance and new applications in ultra-responsive large format multi-touch screens, EMI shielding, transparent heating, photovoltaic, OLED lighting and flexible displays.
