Piattaforma crescita

La crescita di materiali nanostrutturati e la loro interazione con altri sistemi o con l’ambiente circostante sono argomenti cardine per lo sviluppo delle nanoscienze in chiave applicativa. All’interno della piattaforma crescita sono stati progettati e sviluppati sistemi che vanno dalla crescita di film sottili con fasci atomici o molecolari alla fabbricazione di materiali compositi su larga scala. Le attrezzature sono in grado di lavorare in maniera autonoma o in maniera sinergica, grazie anche a laboratori chimici attrezzati che permettono la realizzazione di precursori o la successiva funzionalizzazione del materiale ottenuto.

Attrezzature disponibili in piattaforma:

ALD - Sputter

Atomic Layer Deposition combined with Confocal Magnetron Sputter cluster

The system combines two fundamental growth techniques in the field of nanotechnology, allowing the realization of promising innovative structures for applications in many different fields on 4” wafer. Automatic wafer transfer within the whole tool. The ellipsometer can be used in situ to get real-time control of the depositions performed.

Main equipment features:

Heated Platen Press

Heated Platen Press
Carver

Heated platen press for the manufacturing of thermosets and thermoplastics flat specimens. The press can be used for the production of high quality adhesive joints for lap shear testing as well.

Main equipment features:

Single and Twin Extruders

Single and Twin Extruders
Collins, Teach Line

Twin and Single screws extruders for processing and compounding of thermoplastic materials. The twin extruder is equipped for compounding and reactive blending while the single extruder can operate in stable conditions from small to pilot scale processing.

 

Mini Injection Moulding

Mini Injection Moulding
DSM, xPLORER

Mini injection molders for processing of thermoplastics. The machine simulates real injection molding allowing for processing of thermoplastic into different shapes. The Xplore micro injection moulders allows to test and evaluate new or expensive materials and formulations in a very reliable, reproducible, fast and cost-effective way with very small amounts of test material.
