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.
