Injection Moulding Production Technology for Multi-functional Nano-structured Plastic Components enabled by NanoImprint Lithography (PLAST4FUTURE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Micro- and nanometer structuring has proven to be an efficient method to functionalize surfaces, and is attractive to manufacturers of plastic products. Plastic components are volume manufactured by injection moulding. Compact Discs and Digital Video Discs are today manufactured with nanometer range lateral resolution but, only on planar surfaces. Free-form (double-curved) moulding tools today off ...

Intelligent light management for OLED on foil applications (IMOLA)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
The main objective of the IMOLA project is the realization of a large-area OLED-based lighting module with built-in intelligent light management. Interesting applications are wall, ceiling and car dome lighting, where the light intensity can be adjusted uniformly or locally according to the time of the day or the position of a person, or even road lighting, where the light can follow a car.The fro ...

Multi-Scale Modeling of Nano-Structured Polymeric Materials: From Chemistry to Materials Performance (NanoModel)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
The practice of adding micron sized inorganic filler particles to reinforce polymeric materials can be traced back to the early years of the composite industry. With synthetic methods that can produce nanometer sized fillers, resulting in an enormous increase of surface area, polymers reinforced with nanoscale particles should show vastly improved properties. Yet, experimental evidence suggests th ...
