Interview: Karl Lundahl on the next steps for CNF-MIM
In 2020 Smoltek signed two licensing agreements for evaluation of the CNF-MIM technology. These are the first steps towards commercialization of the revolutionizing capacitor concept. But there are still some hurdles to jump.
September 29, 2020
How will Smoltek’s CNF-MIM technology be scaled to extreme high-volume production?
Which CNF-MIM based capacitor type will likely reach the market first?
What kind of application is the most suited for this technology?
These, and some other questions will our VP Product Management, Karl Lundahl unravel in this interview.
