� PECVD/Sputtering Co-deposition of the polymeric matrix: Nanoclustering of different materials<br />
(Au, Ag, SiO, SnO…) or nanocomponent in polymer matrix (SiOxCyNz, CFx, CHx...) will be investigated.<br />
The composite coating can be gradient layered by changing composition of the films<br />
and density of cluster during deposition. An alternative promising solution is a multiple nanoclustered<br />
layer that could be used to be even more efficient than gradient.<br />
� Wet (Sonochemistry): Ultrasound radiation is suggested for the incorporation of nanoparticles<br />
within polymeric or sol gel matrices. This will be a one-step process in which the polymer will be<br />
dispersed in a solution containing the precursor for the nanomaterial. The sonochemical process<br />
will create the nanoparticles and will deposit them on the polymer surface in case for PC or<br />
PMMA submicron or micron size spheres.<br />
Nano-texturing Surface patterning allows designing a topography tailored to the specific application,<br />
resulting in outstanding properties:<br />
� PECVD electrical and feed (deposition and etching steps) modulation plasma discharge will be<br />
investigated: as a current technique, the deposition and etching steps will be optimized to overcome<br />
the low throughput. A second solution, the pulsed plasma solution will offer more chance of<br />
high precision structuration and the main advantage of this last technique is to get better results<br />
than dip/etch with more risk but in only one step, so the cost will decrease drastically.<br />
� Wet: Special emphasis will be on structuring mechanisms relying on self-organisation, i.e. nonserial<br />
approaches allowing large-scale structures with long-range order. Deposited polymers<br />
blend solution to demix and form micro- to nanostructured thin films with different morphologies.<br />
Combination of sol-gel coating and surface nanostructuration technologies will be also investigated.<br />
Idea is to combine the self-assembly properties of polymers/copolymers with the excellent<br />
adhesion of sol gel to substrate for preparing highly ordered and nanostructured sol gel coating.<br />
From the higher added value products point of view, NAPOLYDE consortium will validate the technologies<br />
developed leading to the following breakthrough applications:<br />
Micro components production (size order 1mm²): To obtain and demonstrate product prototypes issued<br />
from NAPOLYDE new processes.<br />
� Energy microsource prototype to assess autonomy duration multiplied by factor 5 or reduce<br />
the total consumption energy of each mobile component. Thanks to the polymer development<br />
done in NAPOLDYE the µbatteries will be implemented in the industry with very high level performance<br />
and low cost<br />
� Miniaturized fuel cell: ion conductive plasma polymerized membrane will be incorporated in a<br />
thin film membrane electrode assembly (MEA). This thin film MEA in combination with nanoclustered<br />
catalyst particles increases the efficiency of MEAs by increasing the so called three phase<br />
contact area and simultaneously decreasing the necessary amount of expensive catalyst materials,<br />
e.g. platinum, by one order of magnitude. Furthermore, these processing technologies enable<br />
the miniaturization of fuel cells with flexible designs, allowing them to be integrated in portable<br />
electronic devices, which can’t be achieved by conventional production techniques<br />
� Dye sensitized hybrid photovoltaic device with improved barrier functionalities, energy storage.<br />
� Microfluidic devices: Contaminant repellant surfaces will be applied to a microfluidic system to<br />
reduce unwanted absorption of sample material on the relative large surfaces of the microchannels.<br />
The system can be used for critical fluid handling in relation to micro-reaction chambers<br />
in sensors. The surfaces and the complete microfluidic systems can increase the sensivity of microsensors.<br />
� Gas sensor: thanks to doping of the main polymer chain by particular gases from the environment<br />
that cause redox reactions and therefore conductivity changes and thanks to variable range<br />
hopping, inorganic and organic environmental pollutants (poisons, explosives) as well as pollutants<br />
of waters will be detected. Innovative characteristics will be low cost, longer life time, higher<br />
sensitivity, sensor arrays with distributed intelligence<br />
