Nanofibers

Silver nanofibers

These products are used in the formulation of inks to produce transparent conductive films for a variety of applications including lighting, sensors, signage and digital codes.

NANOGAP Silver Nanoparticles provide high conductivity, low temperature sintering and long term stability to formulated inks.

Our patented nanowire production method is unique. We use the catalytic properties of AQCs, acting at the tip of each fiber to accelerate growth. This gives us great control of morphology as well as very high levels of process efficiency and yield.
