Energy-curable inks get their name from the fact that certain substances react with ultraviolet light or high-energy electrons to form free radicals or ionic species.
After that, these reactive species join forces with other substances to form a polymer network.
Utilizing electromagnetic radiation in the range of 200 to 400 nm, UV-curable inks are cured. Using a mix of photo-reactive (light-reactive) materials known as photo initiators, the process is started (initiated).
When exposed to ultraviolet light, photo initiators cleave to produce free radicals in the most common form of chemistry.
The free extreme species, presently in an energized state, need to pass on this new energy. They look for other substances known as acrylates that have an unsaturated double bond and work together to spread a polymer chain.
The Global Energy – Curable Inks Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
C3Nano, Inc. announced a brand-new formulation that produces highly conductive coatings on a variety of temperature-sensitive substrates and can be cured rapidly in ambient conditions.
Additionally, excellent optical clarity is possible.
Life-sciences, automotive, packaging, consumer electronics, and disposable goods all gain access to previously unheard-of new application possibilities thanks to the new curing ink that cures at room temperature.
The Active grid LT (Low Temperature) Ink Series was created by C3Nano to address the unmet need for conductive coatings on substrates that are softer and more sensitive to temperature.
New technologies, devices, and applications are made possible by Active grid LT in potentially endless markets.
These markets range from low-cost, high-volume food packaging (depositing on Saran-wrap) and consumer electronics (coatings on polarizers, anti-static films, adhesives) to sophisticated biomedical devices and applications that frequently make use of biocompatible, highly engineered polymeric materials and have maximum process temperatures below 50 °C.
Active grid LT also enables new technologies, devices
The new Active grid LT innovation from C3Nano is part of the company’s conductive materials platform, which includes nanowires, nanomaterials, formulations, thin films, and coatings.
It also expands on the company’s extensive and market-leading technology and intellectual property portfolio.
C3Nano now offers the lowest temperature and fastest curing conductive inks on the market, in addition to the highest quality and largest scale silver nanowires and the best performing flexible and stretchable transparent inks.
The new room temperature curing conductive ink from C3Nano can help bring more commercial new smart surface applications to market on a larger scale by dramatically lowering manufacturing energy requirements, lowering costs, and enabling less expensive processing.
The new curing process addresses a major factor in bringing new innovative products to market as global brands and electronics manufacturers become more ESG-conscious in their operational process commitment to the community and environment.
