August 26, 2011 — Attend the Nanomanufacturing Summit 2011 keynote address, Tuesday, September 27, 10:00-10:30AM, to hear Dave Arthur, CEO of SouthWest NanoTechnologies Inc. (SWeNT), discuss carbon nanotube (CNT) commercialization, as well as the roles of nano inks and coatings in broad applications.
The Nanomanufacturing Summit 2011 & 10th Annual NanoBusiness Conference are held September 25-27 in Boston at the Seaport Convention Center. To attend, visit http://www.internano.org/nms2011/
SWeNT produces conductive and semiconducting CNT inks based on V2V technology. They can be deposited using commercial, high-volume printing methods and equipment. Additive printing eliminates the waste and additional process steps of subtractive patterning, Arthur explains. He adds that the printed nano coatings no dispersants or viscosity modifiers that could degrade performance.
SWeNT also tailors CNT materials for different applications via its CoMoCAT process. Applications include energy-efficient lighting, affordable photovoltaics, improved energy storage, and printed electronics. The Summit and co-located conference highlight nanotechnology and nanoscience applications that are commercially viable in the near term.
SouthWest NanoTechnologies Inc. (SWeNT) is a specialty chemical company that manufactures high quality single-wall and Specialty Multi-Wall (SMW) carbon nanotubes, printable inks and CNT-coated fabrics. SWeNT was created in 2001 to spin off nanotube research developed at the University of Oklahoma. For more information, visit www.swentnano.com
