Sep. 21, 2005 – Advance Nanotech subsidiary Nano Electronics has licensed ferroelectric nanotube manufacturing technology from SAMCO of Japan and the University of Cambridge, UK. Nanotubes with ferroelectric properties were successfully fabricated by Samco Inc. of Japan in a collaboration with the university.
The technology is based on SAMCO’s “misted deposition” technique, which enables simultaneous fabrication on large numbers of microdevices. Ferroelectric nanotubes have applications in ink-jet printer heads, biochips and drug delivery systems.
