Quantum Materials Corp

Quantum Materials Corp (QMC) is a world leader in the design and manufacturing of high-performance nanomaterials. QMC primarily focuses on luminescent semiconductor nanocrystals known as quantum dots and other nanoparticles for the electronics, display, lighting, and photovoltaic industries. The Company has developed an industry-first continuous-flow manufacturing processes which unlike traditional batch processing delivers highly uniform products and is quickly and easily scalable. QMC has two metric tons of production capacity, the largest of any manufacturer of cadmium-free quantum dots. QDX™ Quantum Dots are the latest nanotech breakthrough from Quantum Materials. Designed to withstand high heat, oxidation, and moisture without degrading, QDX™ surmount implementation constraints due to lack of environmental stability. For example, QDX™ will enable QD use in displays without expensive barrier films for encapsulation. In QD-LED lighting, QDX™ will eventually enable on-chip application increasing energy efficiency,reducing the need for bulky, expensive heat sinks for the solid-state lighting market QDX™ will also lead the way in developing extremely low cost next-gen roll-to-roll printed QD solar cells. QMC's volume manufacturing methods enable consistent quality and scalable cost reductions to drive innovative discovery to commercial success. Quantum Materials'​ products are the foundation for technologically superior, energy efficient and environmentally sound LCD UHD displays, the next generation of solid-state lighting, solar photovoltaic power applications, advanced battery and energy storage solutions, biotech imaging, and biomedical theranostics. Wholly-owned subsidiary Solterra Renewable Technologies develops sustainable quantum dot solar technology. QMC produces both cadmium-based and RoHS compliant cadmium-free qd. Founded in 2007, Quantum Materials Corp. is based in San Marcos, Texas and is traded on the OTCBB market under the symbol QTMM.
