[IFO] Dual R&BD Cooperation Platform between Korea and Germany in Materials-Components-Equipments: Dual R&BD Cooperation Platform between Korea and Germany in Materials-Components-Equipments
- Taeyoung Han (Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems)
Description
Industry-academia-research institutes in Korea and Germany established an active network through two-way cooperation platform to develop leading technologies in the fields of Materials-Components-Equipments to commercialize the results, and to share business ecosystems for the growth of small but strong domestic companies so that they can grow as hidden champions with global competitiveness.
Germany's Fraunhofer Institute, which offers world-class technology in the fields of materials, components, and equipment, is selected as a global cooperation base, and domestic SMEs, research institutes, and universities with expertise in the relevant industrial technology field develop nano-micro technology and cutting-edge technology through close R&D cooperation.
Among them, Fraunhofer IKTS and Yonsei University specifically established a dual R&BD cooperation platform between Germany and Korea aiming to fulfil the above-mentioned goals to develop leading technologies in semiconductors, future materials, next-generation energy, and biomedical device fields.
Industry-academia-research institutes in Korea and Germany established a dual Research & Business Development (R&BD) platform for two-way cooperation to develop leading technologies in the fields of Materials-Components-Equipment to commercialize the research and development outcomes, and to share business ecosystems for the growth of small but strong domestic companies from both sides so that...
Due to the combination of the advantageous properties of both ceramic materials, the material combination ZrO2/TiOx (titanium suboxides) offers interesting fields of application, e.g., for electrodes for the generation of cold plasmas, for cleaning or for the electrolytic splitting of water. ZrO2 contributes its mechanical strength and electrical insulation properties to the material...
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a fabrication process that uses digital information from a computer-aided design file to stack 2D layers of various materials to produce a 3D object, without requiring any part-specific tooling. The use of AM technology in ceramics has attracted significant attention as it can overcome the serious limitation of controlling the complex 3D structure based on the...
The production of biocompatible implants by 3D printing as well as the development of new biomaterials suitable for 3D printing processes is crucial for novel medical applications. Until now, quality monitoring of products manufactured by medical 3D printing has been based mainly on empirical data from the printing process and post-process testing. The lack of inline quality assurance for...
Sol-gel chemistry usually starts from liquid raw materials. These undergo hydrolysis and condensation. A sol is formed. Further condensation and/or solvent evaporation leads to a gel. IKTS uses these processes mainly for coatings and membrane preparation. Pure inorganic sols are used to form porous membranes of silicon dioxide, titania, zirconia or alumina for use in liquid filtration,...
Mechanical systems comprise numerous components that undergo relative motion while in contact with a countersurface. As the parts move, they inevitably experience frictional interaction which directly influences the degree of energy dissipation or consumption. With prolonged motion, the surface of the mechanical components may be degraded due to wear, and ultimately lead to complete failure of...
Microfluidic system is a small portable system that can complete sample pretreatment, separation, dilution, mixing, chemical reaction, detection, and product extraction. These systems can increase analysis speed and efficiency as well as reduce the consumption of samples or reagents. Moreover, the process of analysis can be completely automated, eliminating human interference, preventing...
Here, we present two different applications of responsive hydrogel, which can be prepared by electrospinning or micropatterning processes. The first application is the use of responsive hydrogel for soft actuators. We fabricated a soft actuating system based on hydrogel-incorporated fibers by combining electrospinning and hydrogel lithography. Fibrous passive and active layers were stacked and...
The need for an accurate and rapid diagnosis platform for highly contagious virus such as pandemic virus has been increased rapidly. At the initial stage of quarantine, conventional diagnostic method for the prevention of epidemic confronted those limitations such as long operation time, occupation of large space, and high cost per single operation. Here, we report a highly sensitive and...
NO is a free radical molecule synthesized by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the process of converting L-arginine to L-citrulline in cells. It has various physiological roles in the body, depending on the concentration of NO. Low concentrations of NO are involved in vasodilation and serve as cellular signal transduction. In contrast, at relatively high concentrations of NO, it is known to be...
Stationary Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in the large scale will play an essential role in near future energy supply. The corresponding market numbers indicate that BESS becomes more and more attractive, even in the economically point of view. Nowadays the marked is clearly dominated by Li-Ion technology. Driven by the mobile application marked, this technology reached an impressive...
Sodium-nickel chloride batteries are a highly efficient and intrinsically safe energy storage technology. [The research activities at the Fraunhofer IKTS address the comprehensive investigation of all related materials, components, and processes. This covers the electrochemical cell behavior described with the given equation.
Ni + 2 NaCl ⇌ NiCl2 + 2 Na E0=2.58 V at 300 °C
The cathode...
