The next generation in scratch off lottery tickets, electronic scratch tickets, are already available in select markets and are due to hit stores worldwide.  The high speed printability and superior conductivity of PChems' PFI-200 flexographic ink have helped to make these products a reality.

FI-201 flexographic ink formulations are used to print 300-800 nm thick silver traces which are then used as a conductive base layer for subsequent or inline roll to roll electroplating of copper to form a highly conductive low cost High Frequency (HF) RFID Tag antennae.  

PFI-200 and PFI-201 flexographic ink formulations can be used to directly Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID Tag antennae.  

PChem is working with Drexel University's Wireless Systems Laboratory in the characterization of printed RFID antennae and rapid prototyping of RF antennae using PChem's conductive inks.  The goals of this project are to characterize the performance of PChems printed RF antennae relative to industry standards and develop methods to rapid prototype designs using PChem's inks.  http://wireless.ece.drexel.edu/

Ultra-fine line resolution roll to roll printed EMI shielding applications and spray able coatings allowing for significant savings in material usage and cost with traditional spray application.

Due to the very high specificity and sensitivity of the SERS characterization technique it has unlimited potential applications in the fields of pharmaceutical drug development, medical diagnostics, analytical chemistry, trace analysis, forensics, chemical and biological detection, and more. However, the use of SERS in these fields has been limited in practice to the high cost of the consumable substrates required for the technique. PChem is working with Drexel University's School of Biomedical Engineering in developing significantly cheaper and yet still highly reliable SERS substrates with the goal to make the SERS a viable analysis method.

Environmental regulations in the EU and growing internationally have increased the demand for lead free solder replacements. This is an area where the unique properties of PChem's silver nanoparticle dispersions can provide an alternative material with lower operating temperatures, higher conductivity, and no lead.

Companies working in the area of display manufacture that are looking for alternative materials and methods for metallization of the gate electrodes which may produce significant cost savings.

Those looking for lower temperature, finer resolution, metallization methods for solar cells and roll to roll production on flexible substrates.
