NanoParticles On Demand “NPOD” Todd Miller Microproducts Breakthrough Institute
What is NPOD? A microchannelnanoparticle ink production system coupled with drop-on-demand printing. Reducing Solvent Integrated NPOD device Solvent recycle Deposited films, features Microreactor Concentrator Printhead Metal salt
Advantages of nanoparticles Small particle size low melting T ability to sinter on polymer Printed electronics on polymers RFID antennae MicroFab printing system, Cabot silver nanoparticle ink
Advantages of NPOD • Less Surfactants • No shelf life limitations • Reduced coffee ring effect • Improved bulk properties • Lower cost • Bulk reagents vs specialty inks • Less material deposited for equivalent trace conductance From a slide set titled “Crossing the Chasm: Commercializing Printed Electronics” by Daniel Gamota, Director of Printed Electronics at Motorola
