As an application-oriented R&D service provider in the topic-oriented Fraunhofer Nanotechnology Network FNT, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft offers the opportunity to investigate almost all aspects of nanotechnology together with customers and to develop new products and system solutions from this.
This starts with molecular modeling of nanostructures as a prerequisite for targeted material development, through chemical and physical methods for the production of thin films, particles, fibers and nanocomposites, the processing technology of nanomaterials, to production technology. In addition, there are offers for quality-assuring nanoanalytics as well as recommendations on safety aspects when handling nanomaterials and the evaluation of trends in nanotechnology as cross-sectional topics.
The aim of all these activities is to exploit the diverse, application-relevant development potential of nanotechnology for the new challenges of the future. Against this background, the FNT network offers R&D for the entire value chain of nanotechnology products.
Below you find some examples of projects from different areas of activity as well as examples of work that is or has been carried out in publicly funded programs (EU and BMBF).
