1. NanoParticles On Demand “NPOD” Todd Miller Microproducts Breakthrough Institute

2. What is NPOD? A microchannel nanoparticle ink production system coupled with drop-on-demand printing. Microreactor Reducing Solvent Metal salt ConcentratorPrinthead Solvent recycle Deposited films, features Integrated NPOD device

3. Advantages of nanoparticles Small particle size low melting Tability to sinter on polymer Printed electronics on polymers RFID antennae MicroFab printing system, Cabot silver nanoparticle ink

4. Advantages of NPOD From a slide set titled “Crossing the Chasm: Commercializing Printed Electronics” by Daniel Gamota, Director of Printed Electronics at Motorola Less Surfactants No shelf life limitations Reduced coffee ring effect Improved bulk properties Lower cost Bulk reagents vs specialty inks Less material deposited for equivalent trace conductance Silver example Cost per gram silver basis Ratio of silver bulk resistivity Preformulated ink $40-501.5-10x NPOD$8<1.5x
