      Surface functionalization

      We use different types of chemical modification of polymer surfaces and coating technologies to achieve tailored properties.

      The focus is on wettability, interfaces, adhesion and (bio-)functional coatings:

      • Pretreatment of polymer surfaces (plasma, electron beam irradiation, corona)
      • Tailor-made wettability of polymer surfaces
      • Grafting of functional polymers, especially by electron beam irradiation
      • UV-curable functional coatings
      • Plasma polymerization of functional coatings
      • New materials with surface-modified fillers

      "Very quick and high-level response. The systematic use of the broad analytics and surface modification methods were amazing!"
