Plasma Diagnostics
Adapt and expand the capability of existing of plasma diagnostic techniques to the environment of the HIPIMS discharge
HIPIMS process development, plasma diagnostics and pilot production
We tailor HIPIMS-based treatment processes to suit applications on today's market and commercialise HIPIMS-based processes for deposition of metals, carbon, nitrides, oxides, carbonitrides and for substrate pretreatment.
Coating characterisation
We carry out comprehensive analysis of coating structure on flat and complex-shaped parts with a variety of characterisation methods.
Polymer characterisation - hydrolytic degradation of PET
The degradation of polymers by UV, heat, moisture or γ-irradiation is of significant importance in many different spheres of life
Coating testing
Coating testing research at the Materials and Engineering Research Institute covers a wide range of subjects including corrosion testing, abrasion testing and fatigue limit determination
Arc Discharge
Arc discharges are used for pretreatment of substrates prior to coating deposition
Interface microstructure engineering by high power impulse magnetron sputtering for the enhancement of adhesion
Papers available for the Interface micro structure engineering by high power impulse magnetron sputtering for the enhancement of adhesion
Innovative construction materials
Our research in this area is designed to enable us to advise on waste reuse, extra durability and extended life of resources and innovation
PVD coating by HIPIMS
We have comprehensive expertise in HIPIMS pretreatment and coating technology. Our deposition systems are available for pilot industrial scale production, process development, test of concept and fundamental research.
