Safe Wearables
Nickel leaching onto skin causes more than 10% of the population contact dermatitis. XTALIC’s LUNA® nanostructured silver alloy provides the critical protective diffusion barrier layer needed to provide durable electronic connections without the use of nickel. As the demand for safe wearables continues to increase the base materials that house the components of such devices will undergo pressure by regulations. Therefore new advanced materials solutions must be developed to power the next generation of wearable electronics. XTALIC’s proven advanced material design platform based on computational models from the labs at MIT can provide the materials solutions for safer wearables by engineering stable grain sizes at the atomic level to supercharge their properties and replace poorly performing unsustainable materials.
