Nanomaterials offer the potential to drive the future of Electronics innovation. Examples of current applications include nanophospors in plasma displays, the use of carbon nanotubes to improve optical, electronic and thermal properties and the application of nanomaterials as transparent conductive oxides in thin film transistors.
However, potential nanomaterial applications are virtually boundless. For example, they may be used to deliver specific optical and electronic properties as quantum dots, to enhance solid state memory and to produce switchable molecular structures.
This section of the NanoCentral website is intended to promote the rapid adoption of nanomaterials in the many and various potential applications proposed in Electronics. As such it seeks to engage with industry to disseminate best nanomaterial SHE practice, facilitate solution of problems impeding the introduction of nanomaterials and publicise nanomaterial product successes. Above all, NanoCentral seeks to promote the technology exchange to accelerate nanomaterial product introduction.
