Functional Surfaces
We offer development, fabrication and characterisation of thick and thin films and surface modification. Further we support you in implementing these technologies in practical applications in a wide range of fields: electronics and optoelectronics, optics, sensor and medical technology, life sciences, solar engineering and photovoltaics, light technology, mechanical engineering, tooling, decorative coating, technical textiles and fibres as well as separation methods for the recovery of recyclables and removal of pollutants from process and waste water.
Physical deposition methods in high vacuum
Laser and plasma-assisted deposition methods from the gas phase (physical vapour deposition – PVD, pulsed laser deposition – PLD, plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition – PACVD)Chemical deposition from the liquid phase
(sol / gel processes, adsorption and self-organisation)Inkjet printing
for discrete and resource-efficient application of materials with different chemical and physical properties at the micrometer scale
