Seashell Technology, a leading supplier of silver nanowires (AgNWs), now offers two additional silver nanowire products to its existing silver nanowire product line: AgNW-25 and AgNW-130. AgNW-25 has an average size distribution of 25 nm in diameter and 20 micron in length and AgNW-130 has an average size distribution of 130 nm in diameter and 30 micron in length.

The high aspect ratio of the thin, long AgNW-25 silver nanowire population offers enhanced electrical and thermal properties for many applications (e.g. transparent conductive films). More efficient conductive networks are achieved using this geometry. AgNW-25 is available as a uniform dispersion in either aqueous or solvent solutions.

The AgNW-130 material is well suited for applications where highly conductive materials are required, for example, conductive pastes, EMI shielding or photovoltaic applications. These new silver nanowire products, branded as HiFlex eFilm materials, are commercially available both at research and industrial scale. Seashell will be exhibiting these new silver nanowire materials at the IDTechEx Printed Electronics USA 2012 conference, to be held on Dec. 5-6 in Santa Clara, CA.
