Five Star Technologies Named Nanotech Startup with World's
"Top Commercial Viability"
Cleveland, Ohio. October 20, 2006. Five Star Technologies, a supplier
of high-performance powders and dispersions with applications throughout
the electronics industry, has been named the nanotechnology startup
with the "top commercial viability" by Lux Research,
Inc. (www.luxresearchinc.com). Lux Research, a leading analyst research
firm, reached its conclusion after studying a group of 136 venture-capital-backed
companies around the world with significant nanotechnology capabilities.
The report said that Five Star Technologies' high number of
applications on the market, and attractive price/performance improvements
over traditional materials, are primary reasons that Five Star Technologies
leads the commercial viability category. That category, the report
said, measures how able companies are at taking their science projects
from the lab to the factory and the marketplace.
"We're gratified, but not surprised at Lux Research's
conclusions," says Tim Fahey, vice president, business development
for Five Star. "As we are discovering from our joint tests
with customers, Five Star's ability to customize a wide range
of particles to either the micron or nanoscale and then maintain
them in stable dispersions, is genuinely unique. This capability,
which allows customers to economically produce circuit features with
greater detail and precision, is essential for current and future
generations of a wide range of microelectronics products."
"At the recent IMAPS show in San Diego, we formally introduced
to the entire industry the advantages that we have been delivering
to customers in semiconductor packaging. The translation of our unique
dispersions into enhanced thermal and electrical performance has
attracted a lot of attention."
"Similarly, we also experienced tremendous interest at the
IMI conference on printable electronics and displays. Clearly, producers
of various types of flat panel displays are frustrated by the high
cost and processing problems they experience with "nano-inks." The
fact that Five Star can deliver sub-micron dispersions and inks that
meet today's line-width targets and are process-stable, affordable
and deliverable in metric-ton quantities, got everyone's attention."
