QUANTItative scanning probe microscopy techniques for HEAT transfer management in nanomaterials and nanodevices (QUANTIHEAT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

The thermal properties of nanostructured materials are of fundamental importance to modern technology, but at present reproducible metrological definitions, tools and methods do not exist. This is because the mechanisms of heat transport at the nanoscale are entirely different to those at the macro scale.The project will place nanothermal metrology on a solid basis by an integrated physics-based e ...

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 ...

Printable, organic and large-area realisation of integrated circuits (POLARIC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

The objective of the project is to realise high-performance organic electronic devices and circuits using large-area processing compatible fabrication methods. The high performance of the organic circuits referred to here means high speed (kHz-MHz range), low parasitic capacitance, low operating voltage, and low power consumption. The related organic thin film transistor (OTFT) fabrication develop ...

Laboratory Skin Patches and SmartCards based on foils and compatible with a smartphone (LabOnFoil)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Conventional analytical methods often require a large sample volume and complicated time-consuming protocols. The objective of this project is to develop ultra low cost laboratories on chips (LOC) without penalisation in time response, sensitivity or simplicity of use. The user will obtain the test results using a very popular interface (a smartphone) and a set of Labcards and Skin Patches where t ...

Large Area Fabrication of 3D Negative Index Metamaterials by Nanoimprint Lithography (NIM_NIL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

Three-dimensional large area metamaterials, especially Negative Index Materials (NIMs) promise to enable numerous novel and breakthrough applications like perfect lenses and cloaking devices, not only but especially if they exhibit the desired properties in the visible frequency range. For the European Photonics industry it is of paramount importance enabling fabricating such materials as soon as ...

Nanopatterning, Production and Applications based on Nanoimprinting Lithography (NaPANIL)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

The NaPANIL project aims to develop processes, materials and tools, both for manufacturing and for control, for truly 3-dimensional nanosurfaces with feature dimensions ranging from 50 nm to several m. The nanosurfaces will be realised using various variants of nanoimprinting lithography. The dedicated application is to control light at nanostructured surfaces and a few potential high impact prod ...
