Choosing the appropriate material for a specific application is essential for creating successful, durable, and sustainable products. Complications often arise from material property interactions at the interface with the environment. These top few nanometers interfere with the surrounding and require chemical or physical adaption, for example coating, induced roughness, bio-active molecules, and various other modifications.

At the nanoLab, we are experts in finding these imperfections and providing solutions! We are strongly interested in not only applying treatments and coatings, but also understanding physical and chemical interactions. This allows us to precisely manipulate at the nanoscale and find solutions with optimized performance and low environmental impact.

We have longstanding experience with applied projects and understand the industrial needs and limitation of processes. Moreover, we are interested in understanding the details and work in close collaboration with other academic institutes, universities and university hospitals.
