Copprium

Copprium, a materials manufacturing company, is developing electrically conductive copper-based inks that perform better and cost less than the silver inks that are used in printable, flexible electronics. Through an ongoing partnership with the University at Buffalo, Copprium has licensed UB technology to develop a low-cost, effective conductive copper ink that will pave the way for more accessible industrial and consumer applications of this technology.
