ZeroValent NanoMetals (ZVNM) is a materials science company focused on creating and commercializing transformative print media to further advance and enable 2D and 3D metal ink jetting. The print media are nanoparticles of the transition metals (Ti, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Cr and Zn) and their alloys. These unique materials offer the end user multiple advantages over today’s powdered metal technologies such as; far lower sintering temperatures (and thus lower power source requirements which leads to rapid writing and higher throughput), high resistance to aerial oxidation, high tensile strength, and work products with near metal bulk electrical and thermal conductivity.
ZVNM specializes in the area of stable, fully reduced nanotransition metal colloidal dispersions made by facile, economic, scalable, syntheses. ZVNM’s expertise lies in mastering the reaction management of uniform, small metal particles (<3nm). We are able to provide metal nanoparticles in this challenging size regime through the use of unique solution reaction chemistry coupled with proprietary stabilizing organic (and inorganic) ligand technology.
ZVNM’s dedicated and experienced team of management, advisors and staff are committed to providing robust, yet state of the art products and service to our customers engaged in the fields of: functional coatings, conductive inks, and additive manufacturing. We are actively seeking collaborations with additive print engine manufacturers, and powdered metals foundries to co-optimize specialty metal inks for their machines.
