Polymeric Coatings
The laboratory of polymer coatings offers the development of coatings by means of wet chemical processes. The spectrum ranges from monomolecular layers to paint chemistry.
The main focus of the research group is the development and formulation of functional coatings. New functions can be implemented directly on surfaces by means of grafting processes, or by means of a functional (lacquer) coating. The coating materials are developed for a processability in industrial processes. The most important coating processes can be simulated and the coating materials can be adapted accordingly. For this purpose, extensive analytics and a extensive coating technology are available.
