Surface Treatment of Polymers: Fundamental and Applied Research

Abstract:
Our group specializes in CVD coating processes. Both our applied and fundamental projects aim at establishing the process-structure-properties relationship. For instance, in collaboration with SME's and end users of the space research field, we successfully coat polymer composite surfaces to tailor their electrical conductivity and light absorption properties. In the meantime, we also develop polymer surface models with the combination of surface science experiments and DFT calculations, in order to improve our understanding of polymer surface reactivity.
The applied and fundamental aspects of our activity will be presented with a first focus on the development of low reflectivity coatings (<2%), and a second focus about the development of an experimental and theoretical model of a poly-epoxy surface – a material relevant to a variety of applications.
