Reading time ( words)

PV Nano Cell, Ltd., an innovative provider of inkjet-based conductive digital printing solutions and producer of conductive digital inks, announced that it has been granted a patent in Brazil, BR 11 2013 013885-8 A2, Method to Produce Concentrated Dispersions of Nanometric Particles of Silver. The allowance was published in the Brazilian Industrial Property Gazette no. 2596 in October.

This patent is part of the company’s special nano silver family of patents protecting its products and technologies. PV Nano Cell is leveraging its technologies and products development to provide a complete solution enabling customers to fully realize the potential of inkjet based electronics printing for mass production applications. The company’s proven solution includes its proprietary Sicrys™, silver-based conductive inks, inkjet production printers and the complete printing process.

PV Nano Cell’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Fernando de la Vega, commented, “Our mass-production digital printed electronics solutions address customers' needs for agile innovation and optimized manufacturing. The basis of our solutions offering is continuous investment in innovative products and technological developments that are well protected by a strong IP framework. The silver and copper single crystal nano particles that are protected by these granted patents, guarantee we offer the conductive digital printing market the best performance and most affordable products. Our line of inks products offers one year of shelf life and stability without agglomeration or sedimentation. This unique quality, along with high concentration of silver, low viscosity and other properties make our inks best suited for mass-production inkjet based conductive printing.”

PV Nano Cell’s Chief of Business Development Officer, Mr. Hanan Markovich commented, "This recent granted patent serves our technology strategy and roadmap where we build a strong and wide product line of dispersions, silver, copper, gold, dielectric and resistor inks. Such a broad offering enables us to expand the business and serve multiple markets such as the automotive glass, solar, sensors, high-end electronics and embedded passive components. Most important, we receive excellent feedback from customers that support our product strategy and find it of great value to their business.”

As published in October 2019, PV Nano Cell has been granted two additional patents, a patent in Israel numbered 226665 and a patent in Europe numbered EP3113897 with a grant date of October 9, 2019.

We recently conducted a roundtable with a team of printed electronic circuit experts from companies that run the gamut: John Lee and Kevin Miller of Insulectro, Mike Wagner of Butler Technologies, Tom Bianchi of Eastprint, and John Voultos of Sheldahl Flexible Technologies. In this third and final installment of the roundtable, these experts discuss some of the differences and similarities between PEC and traditional PCB processes, the future of printed electronic circuits, and why the best way to learn about this technology is through networking with veterans of this segment who are eager to share their expertise with the next generation.

I have the tendency to try to replicate the delicacies I’ve ordered at restaurants in my own kitchen. One of my latest attempts at creating restaurant-worthy dishes was a Korean pancake that’s crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. With my amateur cooking skills, it proved to be an impossible task—I could either make only a hard pancake or one that was total fluff. While I’m still struggling to figure out the trick to bringing together the different textures of a Korean pancake, I’ve had more success in bringing together the hardboard elements and flexible PCB elements of a rigid-flex PCB. Compared to making Korean pancakes, striking the right balance of flexibility and rigidity on a rigid-flex PCB is easy if you abide by rigid-flex PCB design guidelines.

I recently spoke with Jamin Taylor, vice president of sales and marketing at All Flex Flexible Circuits in Minnesota. We discussed the company’s recent merger with Printed Circuits Inc., and some creative new flex applications, including flexible heaters and catheters for the medical field. As Jamin explains, "It’s always interesting to see different technologies amongst different companies. We’re working on a few new applications and products, like being able to do some fine lines and flex materials, but with large format, a longer format than usual. Some of their capabilities with lasering and fine features really help with our long flex capability; when we merge the two, we see a new market being created for that technology."
