Brewer Science Showcases Advances in Use of CNTs at TechConnect

Brewer Science, Inc. is progressing toward the commercial use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in electronic systems for three emerging technology areas: material for NRAM CNT-based memory devices, additive deposition of CNT inks for printed electronic applications and discrete and integrated device technologies focused on environmental sensing. Brewer Science will report on these and other technologies during five presentations at TechConnect World Innovation Conference & Expo, in Washington, DC, June 15-18, 2014.

“Our focus is to bring commercial acceptance, minimize hazards, reduce costs associated with waste and handling and understand long-term impacts through life cycle analysis,” said James Lamb, carbon electronics business development director at Brewer Science. “By improving the consistency and quality of nanomaterials with a focus on deposition, and building these materials into working devices, we are progressing toward our goal to commercialize CNTs for electronic systems.”

Brewer Science is introducing a prototype HT1022 printed sensor, a combined temperature and humidity sensor with extremely fast response times.

“Our unique temperature and humidity sensor is the first of such CNT-based printed devices available for developmental sampling and testing and it will be available for sale soon,” said Dr. Ryan Giedd, device development director at Brewer Science.

Brewer Science CNTRENE 1020 B6-R material is a third-generation product for embedded memory manufacturing. The primary focus is improved quality in a material with a higher CNT concentration, which leads to both reduced processing cost and reduced waste generation.

Brewer Science is also introducing CNTRENE 3024 A3-R conductive material for inkjet printing with increased conductivity per print pass. The company will showcase its recently introduced conductive and semiconducting CNT inks for Aerosol Jet and spray deposition at TechConnect World Expo.
