Science-to-Business Center Nanotronics

The Science-to-Business Center Nanotronics optimally combines Evonik’s traditional strengths in the fields of synthesis and formulations, as well as the transformation to industrial scale, with specialist know-how about devices, specific characterisations and application technology. The goal of the research is to find system solutions for the electronics industry which are based on nano materials. The project "printed electronics", for example, is developing printable conductor and semi-conductor material, providing the technical requirements for future applications in the field of electronics. The goal is to provide a product portfolio for economic printed electronics. The project "transparent, conductive films" deals with research on materials used to produce displays, touch screens, electronic paper and innovative lighting concepts in a more economic and time-saving manner. The project "low cost, flexible solar cells" deals with new material for more efficient production processes in photovoltaics. The project "smart coatings" is developing functionale surface coating.

Projects of the Science-to-Business Center Nanotronics have been financially supported by the state of NRW and co-financed by the European Union.
