Silatronix, founded in 2007, is an early-stage start-up company located in Madison, Wisconsin.   The company was founded by Robert West and Robert Hamers, both from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Winslow Sargeant of Venture Investors, LLC. The company's technology combines Dr. West's expertise in organosilicon compounds with that of Dr. Hamers in nanostructured electrodes and electronic properties of materials.
