About

C3Nano develops transparent conductive inks and films using its proprietary Nanoglue technology, a silver nanowire-based ink that is solution coated at five times the production rate of vacuum coated ITO. The company offers active grid inks and films used in touch sensors, flexible electronics, printed electronics, and display technology applications. C3Nano's nanotechnology-based materials provide superior optical clarity, conductivity, and flexibility compared to traditional ITO coatings, enabling next-generation touch displays, flexible electronics, and wearable devices. The company's solution-based coating process significantly reduces manufacturing costs and increases throughput compared to vacuum deposition methods, making transparent conductive materials more accessible for mass production. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Hayward, California, the company has raised approximately $42.5M in Series D funding. C3Nano differentiates itself through its Nanoglue technology that delivers production-rate advantages over ITO vacuum coating while providing the flexibility and durability required for emerging flexible and printed electronics applications in consumer devices, automotive displays, and IoT touch interfaces.
