NanoPaper™

Sustainable & natural nanofiber substrate engineered for flexible hybrid electronics, prototyping, and research.

  • Electronics-ready surface: Ultra-smooth, low-roughness nanofiber sheet supports screen/inkjet/dispense printing with conductive, dielectric, and functional inks.

  • Heat-tolerant & dimensionally stable: Handles common curing/anneal profiles used in printed electronics (validated up to 225°C in partner trials).

  • Sustainable & high-performance: Bio-based cellulose substrate with high modulus and tear resistance versus conventional paper.

Who It’s For

R&D teams, materials scientists, and printed-electronics engineers developing sensors, antennas, RFID, strain/pressure arrays, heaters, and circuits that need a robust, bio-based substrate.

Why NanoPaper?

NanoPaper™ is a continuous network of natural nanofibers. The nanoscale fibril network yields a dense, smooth surface, excellent ink holdout, and mechanical strength that rivals polymer films—without petrochemicals.

Key Attributes

  • Surface: Low average roughness; high edge acuity and line fidelity
  • Print compatibility: Screen, inkjet, gravure, flexo, aerosol/dispense (qualify per ink vendor)
  • Thermal: Withstands typical curing bakes; low shrink/warp under controlled profiles
  • Mechanical: High tensile modulus; robust handling and fixture mounting
  • Die-cutting: Clean kiss-cut and through-cut; supports V-groove scoring (pilot your geometry)
  • Sustainability: Bio-based nanofiber substrate; chlorine-free fibers
  • ESD/Insulation: Intrinsically insulating; pair with conductive inks for circuits

Use Cases

  • Printed sensors: Pressure/strain, temperature, humidity
  • RF & antennas: NFC/RFID, BLE form-factor studies
  • Heaters: Low-power Joule heaters with silver/carbon inks
  • Prototyping: Rapid iteration of interconnects and test coupons
  • Education: University labs and maker spaces
