AI Summary (NQ-processed)
Japan Material Technologies Corporation (JMTC) has concluded a license agreement with Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. for the titanium oxide-based negative thermal expansion material 'Ti2O3'. Exhibiting negative thermal expansion (shrinkage upon heating) over a wide temperature range from room temperature to 300°C, this material contributes to the suppression of thermal expansion in semiconductor encapsulants and adhesives. By combining it with the existing BNFO material, JMTC aims to provide diverse thermal expansion control solutions and establish mass production.
