The selection of clay as reinforcing material is extremely appealing because of cost, high thermal inertness, and environmentally friendly characteristics.
This company has developed a range of patented organometallic compounds that can deposit nanoscale metal features by photo-irradiation, e-beam bombardment or active ion bombardment.
The researchers are actively involved in research on the use of web coating for the production of functional materials coatings on large area polymer substrates.
The company develops easy to clean and self cleaning applications, abrasion-resistant and surface protection nano coatings for a wide range of substrates.
For automotive coatings applications properties like scratch resistance or long lasting UV stabilization are certainly areas where nanotechnology can give significant increase in performance.
This institute's scientists work on smart materials with flexible properties. When the temperature or the electromagnetic field in their environment changes, these materials change shape and position, are more ductile (or more rigid) or show a modified electromagnetic vibration behavior.
