NanoMas Technologies Inc. was a company focused on the application of nanomaterials for the printed and flexible electronics sectors. Founded in 2006 by Zhihao Yang, Tom Xu, and Hao Wang, the firm was based in Endicott, United States. The company's core business involved providing nanomaterials and nanoparticles, specifically offering silver and gold nano-crystal inks and other functional nanoparticulates.
These materials were designed for printing electronic devices on substrates such as plastic and paper. The product portfolio included nanoparticle-based injectable inks, which were utilized for the front-side metallization of solar cells. The applications for these materials extended to various electronic components, including radio frequency identification (RFID) antennas, integrated circuits (ICs), printed circuit boards (PCBs), reflective mirrors, and metallic coatings.
A significant milestone for the company was securing $3.2 million in a Series A funding round on November 13, 2008. This investment was led by BASF and also included Earthrise Capital. Despite this initial funding and its work in the nanotechnology space, NanoMas Technologies is now considered a deadpooled company, meaning it is no longer in operation.
