Processing Materials for Enhanced Conductivity and Thermal Management

As industries push the boundaries of miniaturization, energy efficiency, and performance, one challenge remains constant: how to manage heat and conductivity at the nanoscale. Whether you're designing next-gen electronics, high-capacity batteries, or advanced coatings, the quality and uniformity of your materials can make or break your innovation.

At MS&T 2025, Sugino Corp. is showcasing a powerful solution to these challenges. Star Burst is a proprietary ultra-high-pressure slurry dispersion system that transforms how materials are processed at the nano level.

Electronics: Tackling Heat and Precision

The Challenge: As electronic devices become smaller and more powerful, managing heat and ensuring consistent conductivity is increasingly difficult.

The Solution: Star Burst disperses materials like alumina and tungsten carbide into ultra-fine, uniform particles, ideal for thermal interface materials and conductive inks. It also minimizes contamination, making it ideal for semiconductors and multilayer ceramic capacitors.

Batteries: Boosting Performance and Safety

The Challenge: Poor conductivity and thermal instability in battery electrodes limit performance and safety, especially in high-demand applications.

The Solution: Star Burst™ processes silicon, graphite, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into highly dispersed nano-sized particles, enhancing charge/discharge rates and thermal control. It also enables the precise dispersion of solid electrolytes for safer, more efficient solid-state batteries.

Polishing (CMP): Achieving Clean, Consistent Finishes

The Challenge: Conventional polishing methods have an imprecise dispersion of abrasive materials, such as silica or alumina, which introduces contamination and uneven finishes, particularly in semiconductor wafer preparation.

The Solution: Star Burst eliminates grinding media and delivers clean, ultra-fine dispersions for high-precision chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). It ensures consistent particle size distribution, improving surface finish and thermal stability.

Films & Coatings: Enhancing Uniformity and Functionality

The Challenge: Achieving uniform conductivity and thermal resistance in films and coatings is difficult with traditional dispersion methods.

The Solution: Star Burst enables nano-dispersion of materials like ITO and graphene, improving performance in transparent conductive films and thermal barrier coatings. It also exfoliates layered materials, such as graphite, for use in flexible displays and printed electronics.

Healthcare: Enabling Smarter Medical Materials

The Challenge: Medical devices and formulations require materials with high conductivity, thermal responsiveness, and biocompatibility.

The Solution: Star Burst processes CNTs and silica for enhanced performance in bioelectronics and drug delivery systems. It also creates nanoemulsions for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, improving stability, absorption, and thermal control.
