Auf Grundlage eines neuen Oxidationsverfahrens wurden Gassensoren entwickelt, die ohne die sonst notwendige Sensorheizung auskommen. Das besondere Verfahren der potentiostatisch und galvanostatisch kontrollierten plasma-elektrolytischen Oxidation (PEO) ermöglicht dabei die Herstellung einer mechanisch stabilen TiO2-Schicht mit exzellenter Adhäsion auf einer Titanfolie.
Biological coatings have a high potential for manifold applications, especially for medical applications or biodegradable coatings. Up to now, the formation of biological coatings is accompanied either by a low control over film formation or connected to high costs. Current challenges that need to be overcome are a high control over the film thickness, an even and continuous coating of objects with a complex geometry, or the site-specific coating of single areas on one object. The new concept Enzymatic Bio-Coating is able to solve these Problems. Suitable supports are: Glass, wood, and miscellaneous plastics and metals.
Casein layers are antibacterial, edible, and renewable.
