Nano-structured Polymer Deposition Processes for Mass Production of Innovative Systems for Energy Production & Control and for Smart Devices

01.04.2005 - 31.12.2010

Research funding project

Due to their capacity to exhibit a large functionality panel, thin polymer or polymer-like films have a huge potential to revolution the way of living. Recent studies are showing that polymeric films with controlled nanoscale features can provide systems with radically new chemical and physical properties. On the other hand, market constraints make production rate a critical factor for product success. In traditional sectors several coating technologies are industrialized and high-volume processes. However, they all run at high thickness and without mastering the nanostructure. Merging nanoscale precision with mass production constraints is a key challenge to open the door to new generations of high added value products. The project targets this challenge through - new process technologies - enabling new properties for high added value products - targeting at maximum impact on EU citizens.
