NovaCentrix Announces the Availability of Revolutionary Photonic Curing Systems.AUSTIN, Texas -- NovaCentrix, a leading nanotechnology products company with a focus on printable electronics, life sciences and energetics en·er·get·ics n. (used with a sing. verb) 1. The study of the flow and transformation of energy. 2. The flow and transformation of energy within a particular system. announced today the availability of a novel rapid curing technique called Photonic Curing. Photonic Curing Systems instantly cure metal nanoparticle-based inks by exposing them to a brief, intense pulse of light from a xenon flash lamp A xenon flash lamp is an electric glow discharge lamp designed to produce extremely intense, incoherent, full-spectrum white light for very short durations. Construction . The system rapidly and selectively heats and fuses nanoscale metallic ink particles forming highly conductive traces without heating the base substrate material. NovaCentrix has delivered a pilot-scale system designed to cure Metalon(TM) branded inks on films with speeds up to 50 feet per minute. NovaCentrix will continue developing high-speed commercial systems for integration with ink-jet, flexographic and gravure printing gravure printing Printing processes used for catalogs, magazines, newspaper supplements, cartons, floor and wall coverings, textiles, and plastics.

"The ability to cure conductive inks instantly, without heating the substrate or surrounding sensitive materials is of tremendous value to our printable electronics customers. Photonic curing in combination with printable conductive inks greatly expands the menu of low cost and flexible substrates from which to choose." Continued Leach, "We are also offering Photonic Curing Services to companies or researchers interested in determining the impact and benefits of photonic curing with various nanometal-based inks and substrates. As a fundamental breakthrough for printable electronics, offering these products and services allows our customers leverage the capabilities of photonic curing for applications such as RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna. , displays, and photovoltaics."
