Research laboratory
Hollow bodies such as bottles, cups or canisters must be coated with a plasma layer for certain applications in order to fulfill functions such as gas barrier or media resistance. A special reactor is used to ignite a plasma in the container and the respective layer is deposited. Adapter pieces must be used to insert the container quickly, easily and tightly into the reactor. The aim of your research laboratory is to improve the adaptation concept used to date. Together with our working group, you will work out the requirements for the new concept and then implement it.
The thesis is being written in the Plasma and Surface Technology working group. In addition to layer development and analysis, we also deal with the design and optimization of plasma reactors. Plasma layers are an important mold for achieving closed material cycles, as they promote the use of monomaterial solutions and thus simplify recycling processes.
