Technology
Bio Polymer based systems and surfaces - preparation and characterization:
- Nano particles by different approaches
- Thin film coatings, micro- and nano-patterning
- Films for barrier and packaging
- Textile and technical fibres
- Composites with organic/inorganic materials
- Coatings and adsorption processes
- Surface morphology and mechanical properties
- Surface interactions and charges
We develop and 3D print your materials:
- Areas: Catalysis, Microfluidics, Tissue Engineering, Implants, Food, Energy.
- Multi materials prints with up to four materials simultaneously in x-y-z at 50 µm resolutions.
- Ceramic / polymer pastes and dispersions and solutions printed with 150 µm resolution.
- Thermoplastic extrusion with 50 µm resolution and melting temperatures up to 250 °C.
- Melt electrowriting with fiber diameter 50 µm, melting temperatures 190 °C.
- Custom-designed 3D prints with a built volume up to 1000 cm3.
Quartz crystal microbalance studies:
- Surface adsorption / desorption / degradation of polymers
- Interaction of proteins and cells with surfaces e.g. blood clotting
- Electrochemical - electrode redox processes, deposition and corrosion of coatings
- Monitoring surface UV-vis curing
- Combination with surface fluorescence measurements
