Expertise in particle technology
for research and industry

© K. Dobberke for Fraunhofer ISC

Today, small or very small particles are an indispensable component of many modern materials in almost all areas of technology. Particles can be structured in such a way that they combine several functions or properties, such as magnetism, electrical or thermal conductivity, luminescence, catalytic activity or flame retardancy. Particle treatment not only improves material properties but also opens up completely new applications.
