Short description of company<br />
Interdisciplinary core competence and widespread treatment of tribological tasks are performed in three major<br />
topics (work groups)<br />
Functional coatings and surface engineering (FUN),<br />
Lubricants and lubrication (LUB) and<br />
System analysis and engineering (SYS).<br />
Interdisciplinary solutions for tribological tasks are provided through the availability of scientists with knowledge in<br />
physics, material sciences, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering/electronics.<br />
The members of the FUN group are especially dealing with characterisation of surfaces, contact<br />
mechanics/contact stresses, types of friction, influences of materials selection on friction, wear, and lubrication,<br />
types of materials, materials structure and composition(related to metals, polymers, and ceramics), and<br />
tribological damage analysis.<br />
The LUB groups work is mainly focused on lubricant (oils and greases), lubrication conditions, components of<br />
lubricants, specific lubricant sensors and condition monitoring.<br />
In the SYS group major topics are experimental analysis of tribosystems, development of methods for<br />
determination/measurement of friction and wear, modelling of friction and wear processes and mathematical<br />
simulation.

Short description of company<br />
Attophotonics® Biosciences GmbH is a nanotechnology based company targeting to redesign products of<br />
everyday life into colored, interactive and intelligent materials and devices.<br />
By using multiple nano-layers and nano-structured surfaces Attophotonics creates a wide range of colors without<br />
the need of pigments. The layers are designed to specifically reflect some spectral sub-fraction whereas other<br />
electromagnetic waves are absorbed efficiently. Based on the particular nanostructure the surfaces shines and<br />
even sparkles in a well defined color. Colored materials in combination with sensory nano-features and<br />
interactive properties is one of the promising concepts of Attophotonic’s - nanotechnology.<br />
The innovative products are manifold reaching from novel smart surface materials for design to films, foils and<br />
labels visually indicating the quality and status of packed products. The surface of any product might be covered<br />
by these active nanolayers. The reactive nano-films interact with the environment visually indicating humidity,<br />
condensing water, temperature, pH, ions, magnetic field, electric current, pressure and a wide variety of other<br />
parameters. A tag, mounted onto a product, is used by the customer and salesperson to test status and identity<br />
of product in the supermarket. Novel ski-surfaces display a firework of colors if contacted with water or snow.<br />
Optical waves are actively switches in between guiding fibers.<br />
The nano-color-effect is further more a valuable sensor for biomedical diagnostics. Point-of-care-devices without<br />
complex and expensive detection devices allow to gain information on the health status cost-efficient and<br />
sometimes even visible to the eye.<br />
Attophotonics moreover provides project management and scientific backup for partners in France, Germany, the<br />
Netherlands or US with access to proprietary technologies and patents in nano& bionanotechnology including<br />
metal surface design, thin film technology, (bio)chips, nanocluster-labels, sensor-tags, automated analytical<br />
systems, real-time PCR and POC-devices. Attophotonics was founded in 2004 near the Vienna Biocenter and<br />
after significant growth moved to the TFZ <strong>Wiener</strong> <strong>Neustadt</strong> in 2005. Based on a many years of scientific backup<br />
since 1994 in collaboration with the universities of Delft, Graz and Vienna and new partnerships with the<br />
‚Kunststoffcluster’ and EcoPlus, supported by the FFG, Attophotonics speeds up is growth in direct collaboration<br />
with the Fachhochschule <strong>Wiener</strong> <strong>Neustadt</strong>.

The Institute<br />
With around 35 scientific staff, the main basic and developmental research focuses are with murine leukaemia,<br />
human and simian immunodeficiency, mouse mammary tumour and Rous sarcoma viruses. Virology has recently<br />
broadened its research spectrum into the area of bionanotechnology. Close collaborations with industry and other<br />
partners have allowed academic programmes designed to convert viruses into powerful vehicles for delivering<br />
therapeutic genes to be accelerated with the aim of entering clinical trials.<br />
Technology and Research and Development<br />
State-of-the-art replication competent retroviral vectors now allow up to 100% therapeutic gene transduction into<br />
animal tumour models. Despite this, medical applications are still limited due to the inability of being able to target<br />
vectors to the tumour site. To overcome this, work is currently underway to controllably bridge the bio – mineral<br />
interface by linking retroviral vectors with magnetic nanoparticles and organic/inorganic nano-electro-mechanical<br />
devices (NEMS) to enable in vivo targeting of vectors.<br />

AUSTRIANOVA BIOMANUFACTURING<br />
The company<br />
AUSTRIANOVA BIOMANUFACTURING AG ranks among the leading Austrian biotechnology companies<br />
together with Intercell and Igeneon. Its offices and laboratories are located at the University of Veterinary<br />
Medicine in Vienna, where it was founded in 2001 as the first university spin off.<br />
AUSTRIANOVA’s lead-product, NovaCaps®, is used for targeted treatment of pancreatic carcinoma. The product<br />
consists of a genetically modified cell line (allogeneic), which is able to activate a prodrug directly at the site of the<br />
tumour. The product can be used “off- the shelf” for all patients and mediates highly specific tumour growth
inhibition with minimal drug induced side effects.<br />
The Technology<br />
An essential component of the NovaCaps®- technology is a newly developed method for the encapsulation of<br />
genetically modified live human cells. AUSTRIANOVA has developed this encapsulation technology especially for<br />
the treatment of cancer.<br />
Research and Development<br />
AUSTRIANOVA’s encapsulation technology is an extremely versatile platform that can be applied in diverse<br />
areas: research projects currently in progress are focused on the genetic modification of cells to convert them into<br />
virus producing cells (ViroCaps®). It is planned to use the viruses (NovaVir®) produced from these cells as gene<br />
transfer systems, which are able to target additional tumour types and metastases. This will enable delivery of the<br />
therapeutic gene to the surrounding cancer cells thereby increasing the effect of the previous suicide gene<br />
mediated cancer cell killing effect. Proof of principle for this has already been shown (Saller, et al., Encapsulated<br />
cells producing retroviral vectors for in vivo gene transfer, J Gene Med 2002, 4, 150-160).<br />

Short description of company<br />
The word nanotechnology is derived from “nanos”, the Greek word for dwarf, and stands for the technology,<br />
which opens up the world of atoms and molecules to engineering: here, molecular building blocks can be made<br />
into completely new materials with tailored properties, on a scale of a millionth of a millimetre.<br />
With the design of new optical, optoelectronic and photonic components and systems, experts at the Institute<br />
supply the fundamental principles for the continually growing range of technical uses for nanostructured<br />
materials. The main emphasis of the work is on organic materials and organic-inorganic systems.<br />
Their self-set goal reaches far beyond simple research and development work. Through close cooperation with<br />
industry, the aim is to actively support local companies in introducing the technology of the new millennium – from<br />
characterisation of materials to production of laboratory samples and development of production processes, right<br />
through to their integration in existing production plants.<br />
1. Profile: Expertise: Three-dimensional two-photon laser micro- and nanostructuring<br />
DESCRIPTION:<br />
Three-dimensional two-photon laser micro- and nanostructuring allows<br />
the fabrication of prototypes and small volume products of nearly any<br />
three dimensional shape and structure in organic and hybrid materials.<br />
We are looking for industrial applications, which are based on three dimensional<br />
components of any shape requiring high resolution and high surface quality.<br />
Up to now we fabricated components like waveguides, micro-surface topographies,<br />
photonic structures and prototypes of microlenses. We see a large potential for our technique<br />
in the ares of heterointegration, integrated sensorssystems, optoelectronics,<br />
microfluidics, microoptics and myn others.<br />
Our three-dimensional two-photon laser micro- and nanostructuring lab-system<br />
(installed in a clean-room enviroment) has a CAD input for the desired three<br />
dimensional structure (which could be also a 3-D picture or a hand drawing).<br />
The 3-D structure is written by a laser voxel (which could be of sub-micron diameter)<br />
into polymer or hybrid materials sensitized with special two-photon reagents.<br />
The components we frequently fabricate are smaller than a millimeter in dimension<br />
with sub-micrometer resolution and optical surface quality.<br />
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS:<br />
The three-dimensional two-photon laser micro- and nanostructuring technique
faces currently no competing technique. It offers the advantage of a significantly reduced<br />
time-to-market for rapid prototyping based product developments.<br />

Short description of company<br />
The Linz Institute for organic solar cells (LIOS) at the Johannes Kepler University of Linz, Austria, is inaugrated in<br />
June 2000 in the field of polymeric, “plastic” solar cells around Prof. Niyazi Serdar Sariciftci, Chair of Physical<br />
Chemistry Department since 1996. The Institute is the world’s first dedicated research institution which is fully<br />
focused on the research and development of organic photovoltaic devices for terrestial solar energy conversion.<br />
The strategical structuring of the research and development in LIOS is as follows:<br />
1.) It is a photophysical experimental research laboratory, which specializes on the following studies of organic<br />
semiconductors and photoactive nanostructures:<br />
- Photoinduced UV-VIS optical absorption from cw- down to nanosecond domains<br />
- Photoinduced Fourier transform infrared absorption in near- and mid-IR<br />
- Photoluminescence and photocurrent detected magnetic resonance to investigate<br />
the spin multiplicity of the excited state absorption-emission bands (ODMR)<br />
- In situ spectroelectrochemical methods to characterize the radical states of the<br />
donor as well as acceptor components for identification of the photoexcited radicals<br />
- Nanostructure investigations using atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning<br />
tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning near field optical microscopy (SNOM)<br />
2.) It has an organic semiconductors’ thin film fabrication capability based on spin casting, doctor blading,<br />
molecular beam epitaxy and hot wall beam epitaxy.<br />
3.) It has a prototype development facility based on fully air free argon based systems, which are equiped with<br />
device fabrication as well as in situ testing (under argon) with AM1.5 simulators and spectral photocurrent<br />
facilities.<br />
Thus, LIOS is capable of directly investigating the photophysical properties of new materials down to the testing<br />
of prototypes which are produced also in house. Furthermore, the general facilities of the Technisch<br />
Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät at the University of Linz are accessible directly for other research needs.<br />
By date of September 2006, LIOS has 16 scientific members which represent and study the different aspects of<br />
research and development as described above. LIOS is also interconnected with a large number of international<br />
universities and research facilities through bilateral and/or multilateral research contracts. LIOS is also aiming to<br />
transfer its innovations to the industry by means of spin-off companies which take up a specialized part of the<br />

1. Profile: Expertise: Nanoimprint Lithography<br />
DESCRIPTION:<br />
Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) allows the fabrication of nanostructures on a large scale. The structure size is in<br />
the region of several nanometers and thus well below the size that photolithographic processes. This technology<br />
supports numerous applications in the fields of photonics, microfluids, micro-/nano-optics, MEMS/NEMS etc. At<br />
Profactor we currently focus on UV-NIL and micro-/nano-contact printing (µCP/nCP)<br />
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS:<br />
Parallel, fast and cost effective replication of (2.5D) nanostructures (in a semiconductor compatible process)<br />
MAIN ADVANTADGES / BENEFITS:<br />
Nanoimprint Lithography has several distinctive advantages over other nanostructuring techniques like e-beam or<br />
DUV/EUV lithography.<br />
NIL is a parallel and fast process with ultra high resolution, basically only limited by the quality of the template. It<br />
allows the direct fabrication of 2.5 dimensional structures and the equipment and process is comparably<br />
inexpensive. Furthermore NIL allows in many cases a reduction of the number of process steps.<br />
With µCP/nCP the direct structured deposition of (bio-)functional layers is possible.<br />

2. Profile: Expertise: Nanoimprint Lithography<br />
DESCRIPTION:<br />
Properties of Surfaces can be selectively modified: Undesired properties can be removed, desired ones can be<br />
retained or created. The use of Sol-Gel technology allows a targeted improvement of surface properties in a cost<br />
efficient, effective and flexible way.<br />
Current projects at Profactor concentrate on the following aspects;<br />
*Coating of various substrates like glass, plastics and wood.<br />
*Modification of different properties like hydrophilic, oleophobic, electrical or biological, optical characteristics<br />
*Coating of microstructures<br />
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS:
Covalent bonding on substrates, very thin and highly transparent films<br />
MAIN ADVANTADGES / BENEFITS:<br />
Very thin and highly transparent coatings can be achieved by conventional application systems such as dipping,<br />
spraying or spill coating. Surface properties such as hardness, wear resistance or surface energy can be<br />
designed. It is also possible to generate photoreactive coatings. With sol gel technology it is also possible to graft<br />
reactive sites on surfaces for chemical, photochemical or biochemical reactions.<br />

Short description of company<br />
The group studies the fundamental physics of novel materials under dimensional constraints. This includes<br />
investigations of their formation, structural evolution and the physics of their unique properties. Multiscale<br />
phenomena of metals, alloys and polymers with nanocrystalline structures (grain size < 100nm) and with<br />
geometrical dimensions smaller than 100 µm are studied using state-of-the-art complementary experimental<br />
methods such as atomic resolution transmission electron microscopy and scattering with synchrotron radiation,<br />
atomic force microscopy and contact-free laser speckle correlation. The scientific expertise and the unique<br />
facilities developed by the research group enable the analysis of thermomechanical properties of materials with<br />
small dimensions. Investigations are carried out to analyse the physical mechanisms of phase stability,<br />
disordering, nanocrystallization and amorphization. The experimental results are modelled in terms of the size<br />
constraints, internal stresses, lattice defects. The results are used to optimize the thermomechanical, magnetic<br />
and electric properties especially of bulk nanocrystalline materials obtained by severe plastic deformation and of<br />
microelectro-mechanical systems. The important physical aspects will lead to the development of new micro and<br />
nanosystems for innovative technological applications.<br />

Short description of company<br />
s::can liquid monitoring networks provides you with innovative measuring and analyser systems directly from the<br />
heart of Vienna, Austria. Parameter concentrations in all kinds of liquids can be measured reliably and with<br />
unmatched ease. Plug & Measure is not only a phrase but concrete reality with s::can instruments and systems.<br />
s::can products are sold world-wide via one of todays best sales & service networks.<br />
Our principles:<br />
To say it in simple terms, the idea was to combine smart (optical) sensors with modern communication<br />
technology. This leads to a list of 8 features that describes the s::can measuring systems as unique:<br />
1. monitoring all relevant parameters with one modular system<br />
2. digital smart sensors, with full self-diagnosis capability<br />
3. choice of extremely reliable sensors only, to reduce maintenance to almost zero; no other sensors or<br />
modules accepted in system<br />
4. all sensors in-situ, no extraction of water from the process needed<br />
5. digital communication and data transfer<br />
6. remote control capabilities<br />
7. access to all sensors and modules via any networking PC<br />
8. full connectivity on hardware and software levels via PC interfaces (TCP/IP, USB, RS485, RS232)<br />
Our committment to innovation:<br />
Quality without compromise, customer focus and application know-how are the cornerstones of our success.<br />
s::can UV-Vis spectrometers are patented world wide. The first spectro::lyser was presented to the world in<br />

1. Profile: RTD: Electrochemical deposition of metals and semiconductors<br />
DESCRIPTION: The electrochemical deposition of metals and semiconductors on Si wafers has been applied to<br />
the electronics industry to replace aluminum with copper as a conducting material. Electrodeposition is analogous<br />
to a galvanic or electrochemical cell acting in reverse. The part to be plated is the cathode of the circuit while<br />
anode is made of the metal to be plated on the part. Both of these components are immersed into a solution<br />
containing one or more metal salts as well as other ions that permit the flow of electricity. A rectifier supplies a<br />
direct current to the cathode causing the metal ions in solution to lose their charge and plate out on the cathode.<br />
As the electrical current flows through the circuit, the anode slowly dissolves and replenishes the ions in the bath.<br />

Short description of company<br />
The Institut für Allgemeine Physik at the Vienna University of Technology has broad competence in<br />
nanoanalytical methods. This comprises nanophysics, -chemistry and -tribology. The apparative equipment<br />
comprises scanning probe microscopes (AFM, STM, MFM), in ultra-high vacuum as well as in air and in<br />
controlled gaseous or fluid (also chemically aggressive) environments, a scanning Auger microprobe in<br />
combination with a finely focussed ion-beam (FIB) and an angle-resolved photo electron spectrometer (ESCA,<br />
XPS). These methods are applied in short term industrial applications, developmental research and basic<br />
research.<br />
In the field of micro- and nanotribology the institute has strong collaboration with the<br />
Austrian Center of Competence for Tribology, an industrial research centre.<br />
The Austrian Center of Competence for Tribology has interdisciplinary core competences. Widespread treatment<br />
of tribological tasks is performed in three major topics (work groups)<br />
* Functional coatings and surface engineering (FUN),<br />
* Lubricants and lubrication (LUB) and<br />
* System analysis and engineering (SYS).<br />
Interdisciplinary solutions for tribological tasks are provided through the availability of scientists with knowledge in<br />
physics, material sciences, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering/electronics.<br />
The members of the FUN group are especially dealing with characterisation of surfaces, contact<br />
mechanics/contact stresses, types of friction, influences of materials selection on friction, wear, and lubrication,<br />
types of materials, materials structure and composition(related to metals, polymers, and ceramics), and<br />
tribological damage analysis.<br />
The LUB groups work is mainly focused on lubricant (oils and greases), lubrication conditions, components of<br />
lubricants, specific lubricant sensors and condition monitoring.<br />
In the SYS group major topics are experimental analysis of tribosystems, development of methods for<br />
determination/measurement of friction and wear, modelling of friction and wear processes and mathematical<br />
simulation.

1. Profile: RTD: Nanostructured Matrix in Austempered Ductile Irons and Steels<br />
DESCRIPTION:TECHNOLOGY OFFER<br />
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION<br />
OFFER<br />
•Background:<br />
Austempered Ductile Irons (ADI) have been very promising materials for many kinds of applications. Quality of<br />
castings and permanent control of austempering process are the key factor in manufacturing of ADI-products.<br />
The quality of castings subjected to austempering is well established by American and European specialists. But<br />
important problems are still opened in austempering technology. The safety reason and the production costs<br />
have become more important in high series productions. That is why we start to study the thermal cycle<br />
parameters of austempering treatment by experimental simulating in order to get variable microstructures<br />
including matrix nanostructure and test mechanichal properties. After ten years research we have enormous data<br />
about ADI and start to integrate mathematical modelling and experimental simulating. The aim is to predict<br />
structure-properties relationships for ADI materials and components behaviour in practice.<br />
Description of product / process:<br />
Austempered Ductile Irons have recently been developed as a new engineering materials. ADI are grades of<br />
irons with stabilised austenite matrix with embedded bainitic ferrite needles and graphite nodules. The ADI could<br />
be considered as natural composite materials with excellent yield strength / elongation combinations, excellent<br />
fatigue strength, good machining properties, reduced noise, low production cost. The matrix microstructure of ADI<br />
is responsible for excellent combinations of mechanical properties. Nano-scale microstructure of ADI matrix is a<br />
challenge for scientists and engineers.<br />
What does the product or process do?<br />
ADI offer excellent combinations of mechanical properties as high strength and ductility, very good impact<br />
strength and fatigue, better wear resistant at lower hardness due to graphite presence. ADI replace steel<br />
castings, weldments and forgings, aluminium components. The growth of ADI is as much an economic as a<br />
technical event & converting a medium volume steel component to ADI is approximately 20%. The savings rises<br />
to 30% when replacing Aluminium with ADI. The high strength-to-weight ratio makes ADI material attractive<br />
alternative.<br />
How does the product or process work?<br />
ADI are produced by subjecting of ductile irons to an austempering treatmen austenitization in the range of 850-<br />
950°C for 60-120 min., fast cooling to avoid pearlite tramsformation up to austempering temperature region 250-<br />
420°C for austenite- bainite transformation and air cooling to room temperature.<br />
Under what conditions does the product or process work?<br />
The austempering treatment is carried out in salt baths. The environmentally-friendly production of Austempered<br />
components is available in a modern, atmosphere-to-salt heat treating system ( USA-Wisconcin)<br />
What are the applications of the product or process?<br />
At Europe- UK-West Bomwich-The largest austempering furnace in Europe. Austempering work comes from<br />
mainland Europe as well as the UK; demand is growing at around 30% year on year. Research in ADI-The<br />
University of Cambridge-camshafts and modelling the mechanical properties of ADI.<br />
Nort America for 5 million tons by 2005 : 26%- Heavy vehicle; 25% - Light Vehicle; 16% Railroad Equipment;<br />
14%-Agriculture; 11%-General Manufacture; 8% -Constr./Mining<br />
ADI applications continue to emerge: metal-on-metal railroad suspension parts, digger teets, crusher and grinder<br />
applications; fertilizer knives; In army-pump components, rollers, heavy duty suspension arms, truck suspension<br />
components; In automotive industry-Tow hooks for light trucks; ADI upper control arms in the Ford Mustang<br />
Cobra; ADI Hypoid Ring Gear and Pinion set; ADI disel engine Timing Gears; ADI Tractor Axle Gear Carrier<br />
HUB; In agriculture- brake backing plates, tractor suspension components and power transmission components.<br />
Agricultural application of CADI are starting to grow rapidly- CADI Plow PoAnouder intriguing application for ADI<br />
are very large in sectioncastings-one meter in diameterint. Carbidic Austempered Irons (CADI) are ductile irons<br />
containing carbides that are subsequently austempered to produce an ausferritic matrix with an engineered<br />
amount of carbides.
• REQUEST - Technologies to solve particular technical problems.<br />
Describe the technical problem to be solved:<br />
The basic technical problem is that classical salt baths are not used in heat treatment today because of harmfull<br />
effects. For austempering of samples we used Smitweld technique, which has programmable block and gives<br />
opportunity to use various values of parameters for thermal cycles. If the process of austempering is modelled we<br />
can produce desirable micro- or nanostructures.<br />
Innovative Technologies Sought. Give details of application and industrial sectors / markets:<br />
• Facilities for Austempering (atmosphere-to-salt heat treating system) • Facilities with high resolution to<br />
analyze micro- and nanostructures<br />
• Applications in Europe are possible in Agriculture,Automotive industry<br />
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS<br />
Inovative aspects for production of Austempered Ductile Irons are: use of new casting methods-cost effective;<br />
Controling the phase transformation kinetics during austempering and get desired structures, structure and<br />
dimension stability of austempered components.<br />
MAIN ADVANTAGES / BENEFITS<br />
What are the advantages of the technology in comparison to products / processes that are already on the<br />
market?<br />
The Austempering is an isothermal process and it offers advantages versus Quench and Tempering. Since the<br />
formation of ausferrite occurs over minutes or hours at a single temperature, distortion is minimized and cracking<br />
does not occur.<br />
Austempered Ductile irons provide: lower cost, redused sound in work,better strength-to-weight ratio, better<br />
machinability, replace steel forgings, castings and welds and aluminium in some cases.<br />
What are the advantages for the partner?<br />
The partner could receive high quality castings from ductile irons and austempering technology for desired<br />
component or to join R&D project with our team for fast final results from practical applications as a result of our<br />
investigations.<br />
CURRENT STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT<br />
Development Phase:<br />
Finalised Phases: Established methods for kinetics control (TTT & CCT diagrams can be design for each<br />
chemical content of ductile iron.); Mechanical properties are tested for austempered samples and plant sertificat<br />
was created; The effect of austenitization has been investigated on degree of incompleteness of bainite reaction.<br />

1. Profile: RTD: Flagellin-based artificial receptors<br />
DESCRIPTION: Biosensors and protein-chips usually apply antibodies as recognition elements. However, these<br />
proteins are expensive, poorly stable and hard to prepare. It is highly desirable to replace antibodies with other<br />
kind of sensing molecules. Flagellin, the subunit protein of bacterial flagellar filaments, is a protein polymerizable<br />
to form long filaments. The central portion of the amino acid sequence of flagellin, which forms the outer part of<br />
the filament, is highly variable, and can be modified by genetic engineering or chemical treatment without<br />
affecting polymerization ability. The concept in this project is to engineer the central portion of flagellin to give it<br />
receptor functionality and/or to give it surface binding functionality, and to use these modified flagellins to build<br />
various filamentous objects. Flagellin-based artificial receptors capable of efficient recognition and binding of<br />
various target molecules are under development using directed evolution and rational protein design. These<br />
filamentous receptor structures may serve as basic recognition units for biological sensors and diagnostic kits<br />
applicable in medical diagnostics, drug development, environmental monitoring or food quality control.<br />
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS: Due to their polymerization ability, flagellin-based receptors can be used to build<br />
various filamentous objects. Starting from a certain type of flagellin receptor, filaments of desired length can be<br />
prepared with a very high binding site density on their surface. Moreover, filamentous receptor structures can be<br />
co-polymerized from differently modified flagellins. These block copolymers can recognize and bind different<br />
target molecules in different regions, or they can be immobilized through a certain region (e.g. via their<br />
specifically modified subunits), while their other parts are involved in molecular recognition.<br />
MAIN ADVANTADGES / BENEFITS:<br />
• Flagellin-based receptors can be easily produced by bacteria in large quantities<br />
• From flagellin receptors stable filamentous structures of desired length can be constructed. Along the filament,<br />
regions providing different functions can be constructed from flagellin monomers of different properties.<br />
• Extremely high binding site density can be obtained on the surface of the filament which allows optical<br />
detection of binding of small ligands.<br />
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Filamentous receptor structures may serve as sensing elements in various<br />
types of biosensors including optical waveguide sensors, SPR sensors or micromechanical sensors.<br />
CURRENT STAGE OF DEVELOPMEN<br />
• Flagellin subunits with surface binding functionality has been produced<br />
• Ni- and As-binding flagellin variants were successfully created<br />
• Ni-binding filamentous receptors were immobilized onto the surface of a Biacore chip (without dextran matrix)<br />
and an easily measurable signal was observed upon ligand binding<br />
• A gene library coding for flagellin sequences randomized in the central portion has been created for selection<br />
of mutants with desirable binding properties.<br />
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (IPR):Patent pending. (PCT/HU05/00142)<br />
MARKET APPLICATIONS: Flagellin-based receptor structures may serve as basic recognition units for biological<br />
sensors and diagnostic kits applicable in medical diagnostics, drug development, environmental monitoring or<br />
food quality control..<br />

1. Profile: RTD: A Magnetic Nanoscope<br />
Abstrac A superconducting field-effect transistor (SuFET) based magnetic field transducer (sensor) with pickup<br />
coil kind of input for micro- and nanoscopy, and biosusceptibility has been designed. Pickup coils can be<br />
implanted into a material or organism in order to obtain the excited UHF signals from the conducting materials<br />
and tissues.<br />
DESCRIPTION:<br />
The known development of scanning-probe magnetic microscopes are based on circulating Josephson currents<br />
in a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) loop to produce microwave images with a spacial<br />
resolution of about 30microm. A SQUID-based microwave microscope has some distinct advantages over earlier<br />
microwave systems: the spacial resolition is limited only by the size of the SQUID loop. The biomagnetic<br />
measurement system using a dc SQUID magnetometer for a comparative magnetoencephalogram study has<br />
been developed. In this study, a magnetometer with a pickup coil of 1.0 mm diameter and 0.7 mm lift-off<br />
distance to improve spatial resolution and magnetic field sensitivity was adopted. The magnetocardiogram of a<br />
wild mouse was measured as the initial application of the system. The bipolar peak positions in a magnetic field<br />
map separated by 5.6 mm were clearly detected with the maximum amplitude of 88 pT. The advent of<br />
semiconductor devices with nanoscale dimensions creates the potential to integrate nanoelectronics and<br />
optoelectronic devices with a great variety of biological systems. Moreover, the advances in nanotechnology are<br />
opening the way to achieving direct electrical contact of nanoelectronic structures with electrically and<br />
electrochemically active subcellular structures-including ion channels, receptors, and transmembrane proteins<br />
such as bacteriorhodopsin. Direct electrical interfacing at the biomolecular level opens the possibility of<br />
monitoring and controlling critical biological functions and processes in unprecedented ways, and portends a vast<br />
array of possibilities such as new classes of prosthetic devices, medical monitoring devices, medical delivery<br />
systems, and patient monitoring systems, as well as other applications.<br />
The eddy current microscopy of thin conducting samples using a SQUID-based magnetic flux microscope in<br />
which the sample and SQUID are cooled in liquid nitrogen. If the technique could be extended to the imaging of<br />
room temperature samples was described. To achieve a high spacial resolution and flux resolution, this<br />
microscope uses a small SQUID directly as a magnetic sensor, rather than a superconducting pickup loop<br />
coupled to SQUID. A time-varying field not only induces local eddy currents but also produces currents which
circulate around structures with closed loops. The ability to detect small regions of nonmagnetic conducting<br />
materials, and distinguish them from ferromagnets, superconductors, and paramagnets at the microscopic level,<br />
gives the magnetic flux microscope broad capabilities in materials analysis. For such testing to be of practical<br />
use, it will be necessary to develop systems which allow the microscopic magnetic imaging of room temperature<br />
samples.<br />
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS:<br />
An eddy-current magnetic microscope is advanced to produce microwave images of the conducting materials and<br />
tissues with a spacial resolution in a nanometer scale.<br />
A new design for scanning or sounding micro- or nanoscopes that combines a simple mechanical arrangement<br />
with a miniature pickup coil (PC) that connected to the drain-source channel of a superconducting field-effect<br />
transistor (SuFET). The SuFET is used as a an ammeter which converts drain currents into gate voltages The<br />
SuFET generates power at extremely high frequencies (UHF). Because UHF current flows around the PC(s), it<br />
produces a time varying magnetic fields in the envelope of the PC(s) which can serve as a local probing field. The<br />
magnetic coupling of PC to an external circuit carrying UHF current in a material or tissue proceeds through a<br />
mutual inductance between PC and this circuit. As a result, the decreasing of the SuFET channels current is<br />
defined by the value of losses for eddy currents in the material or tissue.<br />
The product work under an ambient temperature (room or body) of PC and cryogenic installation for a SuFET<br />
device.<br />
The applications of the product is NDE and micro-nanomicroscopy of the conducting materials, medical<br />
diagnostics of the organs and tissues.<br />
MAIN ADVANTADGES / BENEFITS:<br />
The innovative aspects in relation to existing products are using of SuFET device and ambient temperature of an<br />
input probe.<br />
The advantages of the technology in comparison to products that are already on the market are a high spatial<br />
resolution and complete penetration into the measuring process. On the other hand, the design of a<br />
superconducting magnetometer allows application of a room-temperature PC of the arbitrary dimensions. Other<br />
than the SuFET itself, there are no other microwave components, sources, or detectors. This is particular<br />
advantageous at very high frequencies where components are difficult to construct.<br />
The advantages for the partner are the possibility of cooperative patenting and leading position in a nanoscope<br />
area.<br />
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: The sensitivity of this instrument for PC with the diameter of 0.1 micro(m) and<br />
inductance 1 microH is equal to 10exp(-4) (A∙m/rootHz). This means that with an exciting signal ~1<br />
(A∙m) a magnetic SNR in a band less than 10 Hz will be ~10 thousands. Typically our magnetic images<br />
can be taken at about 8 pixels/s.<br />

Abstract. Application of organic, chemical and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based field effect transistors (FETs) for<br />
design of the superconducting transducer of the electronic and biosignals (BSs) into different quantities (electrical<br />
and biochemical) is the subject of an offer. The placement of the devices can be carried out both in vivo and in<br />
vitro with the possibilility of forming the controlling BSs from the said quantities.<br />
DESCRIPTION:<br />
Electrical current may be measured by measuring the related magnetic field by means of the Hall effect or the<br />
Faraday effect into optoelectronic devices. The measurand as well as the reference value are often converted<br />
into quantities of either the same or different physical nature before they are actually compared with each other.<br />
Proceeding from the previously mentioned difficulties, including superconducting element of the<br />
sensor/transducer into an electric current could be the solution to the problem. Electronic or ionic currents in<br />
conductors or axons respectively, passing through the superconducting field-effect transistor’s (SuFET’s) channel<br />
induce the output voltage on its gate. The implantable microelectrodes for neural applications are based on thin-
film polymer foils with embedded microelectrodes for both recording and stimulation. Applications for these<br />
biomedical microdevices will include stem cell research, cancer cell characterization, drug discovery, treatments<br />
for neurological disorders, and neuroprosthetic devices.<br />
As an electrical signal, the biosignal (BS) has two components: electrical potential or voltage and ionic or<br />
electronic currents (EC). The first component is sufficiently developed and does not require penetration into the<br />
substances of BS propagation. The marketable progress in transducing of the second component began when<br />
the necessary instrumentation for measurement of micro and nano dimensions had been created.<br />
The main informational flux from organs of the senses to motor nerves is transmitted through nerve fibres<br />
which consist of a myelin shield with axons as a core. Recent research results suggest that such an arrangement<br />
is similar to a transmission line. The nerve impulse in motor nerve of a frog is equal to 2 nA. Synaptic currents<br />
between first order neighbouring neurons into in vivo or brain slice preparations have an order of 50 pA. The<br />
nerve impulses passing through the fibre could be unambiguously defined by detecting the matching ionic<br />
current(s) or its superposition. Such a technique seems optimal because even precise voltage measurement<br />
could not give a current value according to the Ohm law. First of all, nerve fibre must be separated from a living<br />
organism for resistance of fibre measurement and, secondly, this resistance may vary in time. The method of<br />
transducing the vortical magnetic field from the nerve impulses by the pickip coil (PC) wrapped around the nerve<br />
fibre was advanced long ago.<br />
The electrical properties of hybrid structures consisting of arrays of nanowire FETs integrated with the individual<br />
axons and dendrites has been reported, where each nanoscale junction can be used for spatially resolved,<br />
highly sensitive detection, stimulation, and/or inhibition of neuronal signal propagation. Arrays of nanowireneuron<br />
junctions enable simultaneous measurement of the rate, amplitude, and shape of signals propagating<br />
along individual axons and dendrites. The configuration of nanowire-axon junctions in arrays, as both inputs and<br />
outputs, makes possible controlled studies of partial to complete inhibition of signal propagation by both local<br />
electrical and chemical stimuli. In addition, nanowire-axon junction arrays were integrated and tested at a level of<br />
at least 50 artificial synapses per neuron.<br />
The described transducer designed on the basis of organic and nano SuFETs are suitable for describing the wide<br />
range of EC dynamical parameters. The serial connection of the external PCs allows us to gain some integrated<br />
signal, i.e., the whole sensing or control electronic or NI, which spreads along the number of axons of the nerve<br />
fibre; the amount of ions passing through the PCs and the generalized BS passing through one or both spirals of<br />
DNA. When SuFET channel(s) of are implanted into the tissue or process we can acquire more precise data<br />
about the frequency distribution of nerve impulses (NIs), volume distribution of ionized molecules and detecting<br />
activity of individual nucleoteds. Exploitation of the parallel input to the transducer allows determination of space<br />
and time dynamics of BSs in the nerve fibre and DNA spiral(s) and also the amplification of output signal by<br />
multiplying the concentration of molecules according to a number of input BSs. After the implantation of parallel<br />
SuFET(s), the averaging or summation of this dynamic among the whole electronic circuit, nerve fibre or DNA<br />
spiral(s) is possible.<br />
The method of combining the bioelectric nature of NIs and synaptic currents between neighbouring neurons with<br />
body-temperature PC and zero resistance input of the SuFET device in order to obtain most advantageous<br />
biosensor/transducer was recently advanced. The SuFET is used as a zero-resistance ammeter which converts<br />
drain currents into gate voltages. Transducing the vortical magnetic field from the ECs (BSs) by the PC that is<br />
wrapped around the nerve fibre or DNA sequence is executed when the PC is in nano dimension. By using the<br />
said superconducting magnetometer with a room- temperature PC it is possible to create the implantable<br />
transducer.<br />
The device transduce the electronic or ionic currents of the circuits and organisms respectively into the gate<br />
voltages. These currents are passing through the CNT based channel of SuFET producing voltage on a gate; or<br />
these currents are passing through nanowired PC that connected to the SuFET’s channel and this PC receiving<br />
the vortical magnetic fields from the currents. Application variety of the novel superconducting, organic and<br />
carbon nanotubes (CNT) FETs allows us to design transducers of ECs (electronic, nerve, DNA, etc.) that<br />
transduce them into different quantities, including electric voltage, density of chemical and biomolecules. On the<br />
other hand, the said ECs can be controlled by the applied electrical signals, or bio and chemical mediums.<br />
The product work under room-temperature conditions for CNT and nanowired PC and cryogenic conditions for a<br />
SuFET device.<br />
The applications of the product are sensors of electric currents in the micro- and nanocircuits. Also is possible<br />
creating of an in vivo biosensor of the nerve signals, ionized molecules, synaptic neurocurrents, and the<br />
recombination signals in DNA for the biomedical diagnostics. The reverse functioning of the transducer allow us<br />
to control these signals by the external data.<br />
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS:<br />

The innovative aspects in relation to existing products are application of the nanoFETs in the reverse connection,<br />
passing the electrons and ions through CNT, connection PC to SuFET by the nanowires, vice versa control the<br />
biosignals by the artificial signals.<br />
MAIN ADVANTADGES / BENEFITS:<br />
The advantages of the technology in comparison to products that are already on the market are the highly<br />
sensitive transducing ability of the micro- and nanocurrents of the different nature with a minimal introduced<br />
impediments or disturbances. Also the universal transducer has the following fundamental improvements upon<br />
existing ones:<br />
a) the sign of the output voltage permits the determination of the direction of the input current passing through a<br />
single SuFET device;<br />
b) the capability to regulate the proportion of nanowires, axons, neurons or currents that are being investigated to<br />
the untouched ones- either the whole cross section of the fibre or conductor, or any part of them;<br />
c) the possibility to substitute the SuFET device or to adjust its ratings to comply with the conditions of the<br />
measurement process without repeatedly destroying tissue or conductor;<br />
d) the transducer could create conversion in both directions, respectively in passive and active modes;<br />
e) the combination of biocompatibility and tissue equivalence in both the diamond and protein-based (organic)<br />
FETs makes them naturally fit for implantation;<br />
The advantages for the partner are the leading position in R&D of nanosensors and wide range of future<br />
applications.<br />
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:<br />
The range of picked up currents varies from 0.6 nA to 10 microA, (7-0)x 10exp<strong>17</strong>/cm3 molecules, and 2-10 pH<br />

Short description of company<br />
Research activities of the Condensed Matter Theory Group at the Institute of Physics (Wroclaw University of<br />
Technology) address a wide spectrum of topics in condensed matter theory. In the area of semiconductors<br />
physics properties of the strongly correlated two-dimensional electron liquid (Quantum Hall Effect) and properties<br />
of semiconductor quantum dots are studied. The theory of superconductivity in high-Tc systems is also<br />
developed. Problems of the local structure of liquids are also studied as are the issues of information storage and<br />
processing in polymer and liquid crystal systems. In our group the ab inito calculations of molecular and solid<br />
state structures are performed. Within the scope of research are also the recent proposals for solid state<br />
implementations of quantum information processing. In particular, decoherence in such systems are studied.<br />
Studies of interactions between nano-sized objects and surrounding enviroment have been recently intensively<br />
developed in the context of nano-modified materials.<br />
Research in such a wide spectrum is possible due to cooperation of senior institute staff with a large group of<br />
PhD and graduate students. International cooperation as well as active participation in national and international<br />
research projects plays an important role in the dynamics of our research activities.<br />
Research activites are complemented by a wide educational offer for university students, including specialized<br />
lectures in methods of solid state theory (e.g. Green functions, group theory), quantum information, quantum<br />
cryptography and quantum optics.<br />
1. Profile: Expertise: Physics of nano-scale objects embedded in a bulk environment<br />
DESCRIPTION:<br />
Previous studies on quantum dot systems conducted at Wroclaw University of Technology pointed out that the<br />
mutual interaction between nano-sized objects and surrounding environment is crucial for feasibility of various<br />
practical implementations. Moreover, it seems that the overwhelming trend for miniaturization will be slowed<br />
down or even stopped at some point due to inherently different physical laws that govern systems on the<br />
nanometer scale. It is worth to underline that the majority of phenomena in nano-scale objects (e.g. quantum<br />
dots), do not have their counterparts in atomic and bulk condensed matter physics. This especially affects the<br />
object-environment interaction, which is highly sensitive to unavoidable excitations such as phonons or magnons,
plasmons. The interaction with phonons plays a much more important role here in comparison to bulk systems,<br />
as the nanometer-scale confinement in nanoparticles leads to the energy scale of confined carriers (several or<br />
several tens of meV) comparable to the spectral characteristics of lattice vibrations. The nano-objects can also<br />
interact with defects, in particular with dopants (but, unlike in the case of phonons, technological processing may<br />
diminish the role of this interaction by improving the purity of the material). Therefore it is very important to<br />
constantly keep in mind a possibility of these limitations, and their correct recognition of is of major importance.<br />
Research in this area is located at the frontiers of state-of-the-art knowledge and concerns solutions that can<br />
imply many innovations in the field of nano-technology.<br />
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS:<br />
Expertise and experience in research on nano-scale objects embedded in various types of media (e.g. quantum<br />
dots in a bulk semiconducting environment). The following topics are addressed:<br />
1. phonon-mediated interaction of nano-objects with the environment,<br />
2. the role of spin excitations (magnons) in the interaction of nano-objects with the environment,<br />
3. geometry and surface effects in nano-scale objects (plasmon attenuation of metallic nanoparticles).<br />
MAIN ADVANTADGES / BENEFITS:<br />
Institute of Physics (Wroclaw University of Technology) can provide scientific support in the tasks, where the<br />
recognition of mechanisms of various nano-scale processes and their rigorous description in terms of laws of<br />
physics is needed. Effects of nanoparticle-environment interaction can be assessed using optical resonance<br />
processes. These effects can be used for specific applications leading, e.g., to the increase in the efficiency of<br />
optical emission processes from nanocrystals.<br />

its theoretical insights, its vast experimental investigations, its mathematical models and their software, which<br />
embed experience and knowledge in various mutually enriching fields likely to guarantee subsequent important<br />
accomplishments.<br />
3- TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: . In order to create an efficient production structure, designing them with a<br />
warrant within some specific parameters is required. At his dimensional scale tolerances cover a narrow range<br />
too. Failing to detect extension beyond the tolerance field may have undesirable effects, ending up in<br />
deteriorating the system in which it is used. The production of these systems without rigorous control is<br />
unconceivable. The transition from the laboratory stage to the industrial production stage implies devising a<br />
metrological infrastructure which would pursue the reaching of the parameters in the production flow step by step.<br />
The project aims to design experiment and demonstrate the performances of a measuring system at a nano<br />
scale, which could substantiate further development and to devise an adequate metrological infrastructure.<br />
The experimental model will include an ultra-accurate, controlled displacement system and will be supplied with<br />
optoelectronic, laser and atom level microscope measurement systems displaying the following technical<br />
features:<br />
• Accuracy of displacemen 0.2 nm<br />
• Laser measurement resolution: 1 nm<br />
• Optoelectronic measurement resolution: 10 nm<br />

optoelectronical measurement subensembles and the algorithms related to (real time) measurement system data<br />
acquisition, data processing and measurement protocol presentation.<br />
4- CURENT STAGE OF DEVELOPMEN The only concerns in the field of nanoscale measuring have been set<br />
forth by researchers at INCDMF and INOE 2000. Together, they have created a prototype laboratory for a system<br />

1. Profile: RTD: microfluidic systems based on logic gates for biomedical applications<br />
DESCRIPTION: The main scientific objective of this project is to realize a “lab-on-a-chip” or µTAS microfluidic<br />
system with the help of which rheological properties of the non-Newtonian fluids will be studied. The microfluidic<br />
system will have multiple components, each of them being designed for a certain function: (a) a network of<br />
straight microchannels needed to determine the flow velocity of the biological fluid and the non-Newtonian<br />
biological fluid viscosity for different pathology; (b) a network of endothelial shaped microchannels needed to<br />
determine the motility and deformability of the cells found inside the fluid; (c) a network of bifurcated<br />
microchannels needed to model blood flow through the junction between large and small blood vessels; (d) a<br />
network of stenosed microchannels needed to model blood flow through an obstructed blood vessel, such as in<br />
the case of arthrosclerosis or the case of calcium or fat deposits on the interior wall of the blood vessel; (e)<br />
microheaters needed to create gradients of temperature for selecting the biological particles in function of their<br />
size; (f) input and output reservoirs, needed to store the fluid until it is pushed through or extracted from the<br />
microchannel system. We will also study the influence of the roughness of the interior vessel walls on the fluids<br />
flow, by applying a surface contour on the channel walls similar to the lining of the endothelial blood vessels, or<br />
by porosifying the microchannel walls.<br />
The microgear wheels system will be created to pump fluid and to measure the viscosity of the fluid. The gear<br />
wheels was fabricated using the silicon surface micromachining technology, combining the undercut and refill<br />
technique with pin-joint bearing permitting the fabrication of bushings.<br />
A giant magnetoresistive sensor with a non-contacting transduction mechanism, in full Wheatstone bridge<br />
configurations with four active resistors in the middle of the sensitive structure and four shielded reference<br />
resistors, very attractive for detection of low magnetic fields in lab-on-a-chip applications, is used to transform the<br />
rotor rotation rate into an electrical signal.<br />

and extensive know-how backs the technology. The semi-products have undergone an independent laboratory<br />
testing in Russia (at DEOST, Conmet and “MTI” companies) and the USA (at Metallicum LLC and Los Alamos<br />
National Laboratory). The tests have shown that the level of mechanical properties in the semi-products is 1,5 -2<br />
times higher than the standard level.<br />
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS:<br />
Nanostructured materials produced using SPD methods are characterized by extraordinary structural and<br />
functional properties. Due to unusual physical and mechanical properties of this material, in particular high tensile<br />
strength and ductility, as well as fatigue life (up to 3-4 times higher than for traditional alloys), the use of these<br />
materials has allowed us to develop new promising implants providing for:<br />
a) safe fixation of bone fragments, in spite of many openings for screws; b) high efficiency of correction and<br />
fixation of vertebras in the device for restoration of spinal functions.<br />
At the same time, in comparison with analogous devices the advantages of our innovative devices are as follows:<br />
1) high biological compatibility owing to the chemical purity of titanium with a nanostructure (higher than that of<br />
any other Ti alloy); 2) considerable increase in functional capabilities due to enhanced mechanical and fatigue<br />
characteristics accompanied by reduced weight; 3) original design of several implants.
Production of individual structural components out of nanostructured titanium for high-technology sportive goods<br />
(bicycles, mountaineering articles) allows to increase strength of the structure and at the same time reduce its<br />
weight.<br />
MAIN ADVANTADGES / BENEFITS:<br />
Pure titanium, desirable for use in a variety of medical (comprising dental) applications, including implants, is<br />
chemically and biologically more compatible with human fluids and tissue. Early studies show patients recover 5x<br />
faster from surgeries with pure-Ti. However, pure-Titanium has been too weak for weight-bearing prostheses, as<br />
found in leg or hipbone implants, as the strength of pure titanium is less than half the strength of Ti-6Al-4V alloy.<br />
We have increased the strength of pure Nano-titanium to levels higher than that of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, preserving a<br />
higher biological compatibility of Ti. The use of pure Nano-Ti will reduce the thickness and weight of weightbearing<br />
implants by approximately 20-30%, with the same percentage cost reduction expected, since Nano-Ti<br />
can be produced with on-par unit-volume costs as (regular) pure Ti and Ti-alloys.<br />
High-strength Nano-Ti is also very attractive for producing various sportive goods (for bikes, sports cars,<br />
mountaineering articles, tennis-rackets, etc). In particular, production of individual structural components for trial<br />
bicycles allows to reduce their weight by up to 30% and simultaneously increase strength margin by 2-3 times.<br />
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:<br />
Nanostructured (CP Grade 2) titanium produced in Ufa has the following characteristics: ultimate tensile strength<br />
– 1000 MPa and higher, endurance limit – 500 MPa and higher. Nanostructured Ti alloy Ti-6Al-4V: ultimate<br />
tensile strength – 1370 MPa, endurance limit – 700 MPa. These characteristics of nanostructured Mg and Al<br />
alloys are 2-4 times higher than those of conventional (coarse-grained) alloys. Nanostructured TiNi alloys have<br />
an enhanced shape-memory effect.<br />
We have mastered production of rod-shaped billets with diameters reaching 30 mm. We are now mastering<br />
production of tubes with diameters up to 30 mm.<br />
CURRENT STAGE OF DEVELOPMEN<br />
Processing regimes have been developed for fabrication of long-length nanostructured rods from Titanium and its<br />
alloys. Prototypes of new set-ups for deformation and shape-forming tools have also been developed and are<br />
available for demonstration. Pilot samples of implants, medical instruments, mountaineering articles and<br />
component items for trial bicycles have been produced.<br />
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (IPR):<br />
We have a good patent coverage: we hold several protective documents protecting our technology, including<br />
Russian and U.S. patents. Over the years, our researchers have published several hundred papers describing<br />
the offered technology in Russian and international scientific journals (such as Nature, Nature Materials, Progress<br />
in Materials Science, Materials Science and Engineering, etc.), as well as several monographs.<br />
MARKET APPLICATIONS:<br />
The target market comprises orthopedic, dental and traumatological centers and clinics of all industrially<br />
developed countries. There are no analogous technologies available at the market. Nanostructured titanium<br />
semi-products are characterized by higher strength, ductility, fatigue resistance accompanied by good biological<br />
compatibility with living tissue as compared with conventional titanium materials available at the market .<br />
In sports, the target market (consumers) is comprised by mountaineers, bicyclists-sportsmen (both individual<br />
sportsmen and those combined in sports clubs and national associations). Nanostructured materials can be<br />
applied in those sport areas where high strength and wear resistance and at the same time low weight are<br />
required (in bicycles, mountaineering articles, etc.).<br />
TYPE OF COLLABORATION SOUGH<br />
We are interested in different types of collaboration, in particular RTD collaboration, industrial partnership and<br />
investing.<br />
a) In the framework of RTD collaboration, we would like to combine the efforts, knowledge and experience of<br />
our researchers with researchers from other countries in order to perfect the offered technology and apply it on<br />
other areas.<br />
b) Introduction of the offered technology outside laboratory-scale and pilot production requires attracting a large<br />
amount of material, technical and human resources. This need can be fulfilled by existing industrial companies or<br />
by companies that will be established on the basis of the production to be set up.<br />
c) Our R&D and prospective establishment of commercial production requires inflow of investments from private<br />
and public (government) investors.<br />

Short description of company<br />
The Laboratory for Characterisation and Processing of Polymers – LCPP is active within the Institute of<br />
Engineering Materials and Design at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maribor, and is well<br />
known for its research work on interaction of fibre surfaces with different media.<br />
At LCPP different analysis of polymers with the accent on oriented polymers are performed. Research targets are<br />
the structure of natural and chemical polymers, modification of polymer materials and evaluation of the influence<br />
of different processing parameters on structural changes, and consequently, on technological and applied<br />
properties of fibres.<br />
In this way our research work is focused on interactions on fibres surfaces, especially on the determination of the<br />
character of the accessible active interfaces (solid (fibre) /liquids – specific aqueous solutions and process<br />
chemicals) in order to judge the polymers interaction ability, their ion exchange capacity and the progress of<br />
technological processes during the manufacturing of cellulose polymer materials.<br />
Staff qualifications and equipment of the LCPP enables us to:<br />
1) synthesise organic compounds (poly functional, guest-host, fluorescent, pharmacological, …) which are<br />
applicable for fibre surface modification using covalent bonding,<br />
2) perform surface modification of fibres (thermal, chemical, ultrasound, sol-gel surface coating),<br />
3) evaluate fibre surface properties (surface morphology, streaming potential, surface charge, the quality and<br />
quantity of specific dissociable and accessible polymer surface groups, their dissociation constants (pK values) in<br />
solvents of different polarity, contact angle, quality and quantity of fibre surface free energy) and adsorption<br />
character (adsorption kinetics of different adsorbents), and<br />
At LCPP also all conventional analyses of textile materials in any form (fibres, yarns, and 2D textiles such as<br />
woven and knitted fabrics), as well as polymer solutions, melts and solids are performed. These analyses include:<br />
determination of chemical composition, physical-chemical and mechanical properties, quality and damage to<br />
textile and total rheological characterisation.<br />

Short description of company<br />
The INKA - Institut für nanotechnische Kunststoff-Anwendungen (Institute of Polymer Nanotechnology) was<br />
founded in 2004 between the Paul Scherrer Institut Villigen/Schweiz (PSI) and the University of Applied Sciences<br />
Northwestern-Switzerland (FHNW).<br />
The PSI has a long tradition in scientific research in particular in conjunction with large facilities like neutron- or<br />
synchrotron sources. More than 10 years ago the Laboratory for Micro- and Nanotechnology (LMN) was founded<br />
within the PSI and has developed into a major player on an international level in selected areas of<br />
nanotechnology.<br />
The FHNW operates since many years the most important polymer technology center in Switzerland, the IKT -<br />
Institut für Kunststofftechnik (Institute of Polymer Technology), where students can take undergraduate and<br />
graduate courses in polymer engineering and technology. A close cooperation with the “Kunststoff- Ausbildungs-<br />
und Technologiezentrum (KATZ)” in Aarau/Switzerland safeguards up to date research and educational<br />
resources.<br />
The INKA builds on the existing strengths and competences of the PSI and FHNW and fully exploits the synergy<br />
between these institutions.<br />
1. Profile: RTD: Functionalisation of polymer surfaces via controlled surface structures<br />
DESCRIPTION:<br />
There is a strong demand for plastic surfaces with controlled surface structures, e.g. for anti-wetting properties<br />
towards different fluids, for microfluidic…. The production of products with surfaces with periodic nanopatterns by<br />
injection moulding is very economical.<br />
The toolmaking for micro- and nanoreplication is done at the PSI-clean room laboratories (>300m2 class 10 or<br />
1000). There INKA is provided with state of the art processes:<br />
• Lithography: optical (up to 200mmØ substrates), electron-beam, X-ray (13 nm EUV exposure),<br />
• Pattern-transfer: wet and dry etching, nickel electroplating,<br />
• Thin-film technology: several CVD and PVD equipment.<br />
In addition, we operate several hot-embossing machines in a clean-room environment for micro- and<br />
nanopatterning of substrates up to 150mmØ.
A unique capability is the X-ray interference lithography (XIL) setup at the Swiss Light Source (SLS). Here we can<br />
expose periodic nanopatterns into polymers with feature sizes down to 15 nm.<br />
Injection-moulding, extrusion and other polymer processing capabilities are available at the FHNW and the KATZ.<br />
All this is completed by a vast variety of modern analytical equipment such as scanning electron microscopes,<br />
several atomic force microscopes, optical characterisation tools etc.<br />
Research and Technology<br />
- Production of the micro- and nanostructures via lithography, electron-beam, X-ray, but also via laserengraving,<br />
HSC<br />
– Polymer samples with surface-nanopatterns of various geometry by hot-embossing<br />
- Construction and production of tools<br />
– Samples and prototype-series by injection moulding<br />
- testing of the samples via REM, AFM, wetting angle, inclination angles…<br />
– Clarification of the influence of polymer material<br />
– Identification of the optimum structural geometries<br />
