NANOMAS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
THE ARE OF FUNCTIONAL NANOMATERIALS
ABOUT THE COMPANY:
Founded by three seasoned nanotechnologists at Binghamton University, NanoMas Technologies, Inc., creates nanotechnology innovations in the emerging areas of printable electronics, renewable energy and high-performance chip packaging. NanoMas’s proprietary technologies have integrated the art of precision nano-scale engineering with mass production of nano-scaled materials, enabling high value additions to a wide range of commercial applications with little extra cost.
The conductor and semiconductor nanocrystal inks developed at NanoMas will enable the new printable electronics industry to make products that are more mechanically flexible and manufactured in a fashion similar to that in the printing industry.
In late 2008, NanoMas Technologies, Inc. closed on $3.2 million in venture financing, allowing the company to further its development of nanotechnology products. NanoMas intends to use its venture capital to further the commercialization of metallic nanoparticles for use in printed electronics, conductive pastes, solar cells and IC chip packaging. “We’re hoping in the next year...to promote our products for industrial use around the world,” said company President and Chief Technical Officer Zhihao Yang. “We’re very excited.”
UNIVERSITY-BASED RESEARCH CONNECTION:
Howard Wang, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Binghamton University, founded the company in 2006 with fellow researchers Zhihao Yang, now president and chief technology officer, and Tom Xu.
ROLE OF FEDERAL RESEARCH FUNDING:
Company founder Howard Wang has received research funding from the National Science Foundation.
