ICIS Development
Inductively Coupled Impulse Sputtering (ICIS) – ionised sputtering without magnetic field for deposition of magnetic materials and alloys
Plasma Diagnostics
Adapt and expand the capability of existing of plasma diagnostic techniques to the environment of the HIPIMS discharge
Coating Substrate Adhesion Enhancement
The surface of metallic substrate is engineered by plasma cleaning to remove contamination and metal ion implantation to enhance wetting of the subsequent coating layer
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 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
Coating characterisation
We carry out comprehensive analysis of coating structure on flat and complex-shaped parts with a variety of characterisation methods.
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.
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
Injectable hydrogels for IVD regeneration
Hydrogels are crosslinked polymers that contain large amounts of water. We have developed a novel hydrogel loaded with Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) which can be maintained as a liquid ex vivo and be injected into the affected tissue site where body temperature triggers in situ gelation.
