STTR Phase II Award from the Air Force

In July, 2015, systeMECH, LLC completed an STTR Phase II project funded by the Air Force to develop a new rolling-based printing approach for transferring arrays of patterned micro- and nano-structures directly from rigid fabrication substrates onto flexible substrates. The printing approach is designed to enable a new class of large-area, flexible photonic devices based on inorganic materials patterned to have sub-optical-wavelength dimensions. The rolling-based process can be integrated into a roll-to-roll manufacturing line or can be used as a standalone tool. Tools based on systeMECH's novel approach can enable researchers and manufacturers to produce a range of nanomembrane-based flexible photonic and electronic devices.
