Franklin Advanced Materials

Franklin Advanced Materials develops and manufactures specially engineered materials for a wide range of industrial markets, including: photovoltaic solar cells, solid oxide fuel cells, hybrid microelectronics, multilayer microelectronics, electronic components, sensors, and other thick-film interconnect or metallization applications. We offer our products to customers around the world, providing you with custom materials development, component fabrication, and state-of-the-art testing services. In addition to industrial customers, we also offer custom materials and services to companies, universities, and labs that are engaged in research and development activities. All of our work is done at our headquarters and recently-expanded manufacturing campus in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, about 40 miles west of Philadelphia. Our roots began with our unique solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology that operates directly on such readily-available current fuels as diesel and gasoline, and also on future fuels like bio-fuel and hydrogen. Through years of technology and product development, our scientists and engineers have gained a broad knowledge base in developing pastes, tapes, and fired-ceramic components in a rapid, cost effective, and scalable manner. In 2010 we added staff that has over 75years of Thick Film experience to focus on photovoltaic metallization materials development. We also offer our customers a full range of analytical services and contract research via our well-equiped laboratories and its multi-talented team of experienced scientists and engineers: scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface topography, solar cell output testing, rheology testing and fuel cell testing.
