Nano Silver powder technology can be used to 'print' microcircuits on paper and polymers; costing less than semiconductor technology. Customizing particle surface chemistry is the key to different applications — which include radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, thin-film batteries, and displays. Nano Silver also has antimicrobial properties for medical devices and textiles.
