Silver Disk

Goodfellow's silver disks, available at a maximum purity of 99.999% (5N), are highly sought after for their exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as their unique optical properties. Silver's unparalleled conductivity makes it invaluable in high-end electronics and electrical contacts. Its antimicrobial properties find applications in medical devices and water purification systems. In the field of optics, silver is crucial for producing high-quality mirrors and specialized coatings. For research purposes, ultra-pure silver is essential in studying plasmonics, developing advanced catalysts, and exploring new methods of energy storage and conversion. Its role in emerging technologies like printed electronics and advanced photovoltaics underscores its continued significance in both fundamental research and cutting-edge industrial applications.
