Smoltek Nanotech Holding AB announced that the company has received an order, worth EUR 40,000, to perform a proof-of-concept study using the company's unique carbon nanofiber technology in solving a difficult materials engineering problem for a global medtech company. The purpose of the proof-of-concept study is to confirm that Smoltek's electrically conductive, vertically aligned carbon nanofibers can function as an interconnect between an integrated circuit and a sensor material that is not compatible with metals. Smoltek has been collaborating with the global medical technology company for some time and a number of initial tests have already been performed.

The current proof-of-concept study will include a more complete test of the concept, which among other things aims to verify the performance of the solution and to ensure that the assembly lasts, as well as to obtain more knowledge in how to scale up the concept to volume production.
