Developing devices to demonstrate the value of new polymers聽
Our group is internationally recognized for a complete chain鈥恛f鈥恔nowledge approach spanning from synthesis to device fabrication. In our view, integration of newly鈥恉eveloped polymers into devices that employ their functionality is essential for demonstrating scientific and economic value. To pursue this integrated approach, we employ staff members with strong expertise in organic synthesis, self-assembly, nano鈥� and micro鈥恠tructuring, polymer chemistry and technology, mechanics, device optics and physics. We have extensive expertise in manufacturing and testing of devices on a prototype scale.
We develop functional materials by utilizing top鈥恉own and bottom鈥恥p strategies combining molecular design and synthesis, processing and device integration. For bottom鈥恥p structuring of polymers we often apply self鈥恛rganization of photopolymerizable liquid crystals into defect鈥恌ree, monolithic structures with a wide variety of molecular architectures and functionalities. Often used top-down鈥痶echniques are photolithography, photo-embossing, holography and (inkjet) printing.
