Tell us a little about your organisation. How do the areas of nanotechnology and sustainability impact your work?

PV Nano Cell offers the first-ever complete solution for mass-produced inkjet based, printed electronics, a digital additive approach. The proven solution includes PVN’s proprietary Sicrys™, nanoparticle silver and copper-based conductive inks, inkjet production printers and the complete printing process. The process includes ink properties’ optimization, printer’s parameters setup, printing modifications & tailored printing instructions per application. In the heart of PVN’s value proposition lies its unique and patented conductive silver and coper inks – Sicrys™. Those are the only inks made of Single Nano Crystals – which allows the inks to have the highest stability and throughput required to drive optimal mass-production results for wide range of applications: automotive, IoT, photovoltaic, printed circuit boards, flexible printed circuits, antennas, sensors, heaters, touchscreens and many more. Our complete solution, digital additive process, is economically feasible and a clean technology therefore sustainable.

What is the newest/most innovative development in nanotechnology that you and/or your organisation is excited about now?

PV Nano Cell is now working on printing Embedded Passive Components such as resistors, capacitors and coils. We are working on new resistor and dielectric inks. We are also developing a new gold ink. 

What, in your opinion, is the most important thing (tool, process, support, etc.) that is needed right now to help grow and strengthen the nanotechnology community?

We need to increase the awareness to the value nanotechnology can bring to customers and in the same time make sure the technology is easy to implement and consume by customers. 

What, in your opinion, are important factors or influences that will affect the direction of the nanotechnology community in the future?

Competitive advantage, commercial relevancy and ease of use.
