Graphene solves the big problems in energy storage

The graphene industry is at a critical juncture for many small to medium sized companies: it is time for them to generate revenues and pre-empt any pending cash flow issues. These companies cannot often afford to take the long view, which many research groups and government are rightly taking.

Will big players enter the silver nanoparticle business?

Small organisations with lean cost structures are leading the way in the silver nanoparticle space. They can survive despite the low global demand today. Many large corporations have acquired the silver nanoparticle production and formulation technology but are looking for volumes before they enter. This is in complete contrast to the state of the market in the traditional silver flake paste business where large corporations dominate the scenesThe silver nanoparticle business landscape may be transformed if large organisations swing into the full commercialisation mode in the medium term. The technology has room for further cost reduction as economies of scale are lacking today (despite globally over-capacity). This article assess the existing business landscape for both silver paste, silver nanoparticles as well as several silver alternatives. It also lists and categorises more than 83 producers and developers of conductive paste/inks by technology and territory.
