About NanoMas Technologies
NanoMas Technologies engages in the research, development, engineering, and commercialization of nanotechnology and nanomaterials. We offer various inks such as silver and gold nanoparticle inks, conjugated polymer inks, and polymer dielectric inks, as well as conductor and semiconductor nanocrystal inks for printable electronics. We also develop functional nanoparticulates, including silver and gold nanoparticles and decorated carbon nanotubes. In addition inks and nanoparticulates, NanoMas provides carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers incorporating various physical, mechanical, electrical and optical properties for applications in multifunctional polymer nanocomposites, biosensors and medical diagnostics, and novel drug delivery. These inks are designed for applications in various technologies including:
- Flexible and flat panel displays
- Radio frequency identification antenna and integrated circuits
- Printed circuit boards
- Reflective mirrors and metallic coatings
- Printable solar cells
Our innovative technologies allow production of printable conductor, semiconductor, and dielectric inks for printable electronics. Printed electronics are area scalable, mechanically flexible, and manufactured in a fashion similar to that employed in the printing industry.
NanoMas Technologies, Inc. was founded in 2006 by three seasoned inventors, widely recognized as experts in the field of nanotechnology, ink development and material science. The company was founded in 2006 and is based in Endicott (Binghamton) New York. NanoMas closed Series A financing of $2.7M in Sep. 2008 led by BASF Venture, Earthrise Capital (NY) and Nano Material Investors (NY). Leveraging its core nanoparticle manufacturing process, the company intends to deliver formulated products that exceed the unmet demands in the high growth markets of solar cell manufacturing, printed electronics and electronics assembly.
