„Heat Forming with Innovative In-situ Heating of Inserts“

An innovative energy saving heat forming method has been developed at the University of Stuttgart for the fabrication of thermoplastic molded parts, in particular fiber-reinforced composites from semi-finished goods (organic sheets). In addition, it is possible to achieve a process-integrated quality assurance, a documentation of the quality as well as an individual quality assessment.

 

 

Antireflection Coating at room temperature

A novel nanotechnological process for the production of antireflection coatings can be used to coat plastics and glass at room temperature. It is a simple, quick and affordable process for single and multiple coatings and reduces reflection by > 99.5 % over the entire visible spectrum (with a single coating).

 

 

Melt Emulsification without Emulsifier / Protective Colloids

The Section food process engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed a processing concept and the required homogenization valve to produce dispersions of solid particles with reproducible and uniform characteristics without the use of special additives (emulsifiers or protective colloids).  The particle size can be adjusted within a broad range, with the possibility of even submicron-sized particles. Particles generated by this process are of particular use in paints, varnishes and pharmaceuticals.

 

 

Microreaction techniques – Low Pulsation Evaporation of very small amounts of liquids

A new evaporation concept allows certain and complete evaporation of very small amounts of liquids. The invented vaporizer offers complete evaporation with low pulsation and rapid response to load changes. Both are necessary for precise and controlled evaporation of liquids, with is the precondition for reproducible micro-reaction processes.
