Materials Science Applications:
Optimizing functional properties if new surfaces and products:
Finding out in what way the structure of a material influences its properties and behaviour is the aim of materials science. High-resolution analyses of surfaces play an important role in determining relevant parameters like roughness, relection, tribological properties or the surface quality.
NanoFocus measurement systems guarantee analyses conform to international standards - for different measurement task and on all materials. Defined specifications are met and processes optimized. This means that costs are reduced while development times are shortened.
Non-contact 3D surface analyses independent of materials:
NanoFocus measurement systems enable the fast and reliable 3D surface analysis of nearly all materials - from metal, glass, ceramics, semi-conductors, polymers to organic materials. The confocal technology enables determining reliable measurement data independent of the degree of reflection of a surface. The optical method of the NanoFocus-technologies µsurf, µscan and µsprint also enables the non-destructive measurements of sensible surfaces at different stages of production and processing. The measurements of coated surfaces and the determination of layer thickness are also possible.
A previous sample preparation is not necessary. Real 3D data is available after only a few seconds which allows a qualitative as well as a quantitative evaluation of the surface. For the determination of relevant parameters NanoFocus offers comprehensive and powerful software solutions for the analysis of measurement data.
Examples of application:
NanoFocus measurement systems have proven themselves in many areas of materials science due their flexibility. Within only a few seconds they deliver exact and repeatable 3D measurement data of nearly all surfaces. That is why the NanoFocus-technology is ideal for user who wish to analyze different materials.

PneumatiCoat Technologies offers several Particle ALD systems for coating powders, flats and objects. Our expertise in ALD coating processes and chemistries allow us to design and build easy to use, highly functional systems. PneumatiCoat's expertise in system scale-up can help to quickly transform your research into commercial products.
PneumatiCoat's Particle ALD Particle Coating Reactors (PCR) are the most versatile ALD systems available on the market today. ALD on particles represents one of the most exciting areas of research available to an increasingly bottoms-up world focused on surfaces and interfaces. With a modular fluidized bed chamber, researchers can easily swap their reaction chambers to quickly change chemistries and execute rapid prototyping of coatings, executing complex experimental designs with plug-and-play productivity. Small scale production can be carried out swiftly and reliably during new product definition and development exercises. The PCR series of reactors uses the same intuitive control software as the LFR series, only optimized for particle coating. The practice of particle ALD is not trivial and our team has combined decades of experience building particle coating reactors that optimize process conditions to ensure homogeneous coatings, high yields, and most importantly, reliable and reproducible results.
The PneumatiCoat laminar flow reactor (LFR) is designed for maximum functionality with minimum footprint. The bench-top series of reactors is focused on providing researchers with an affordable, easy to use system for depositing ALD coatings on flats and objects. The LFR system is capable of coating a wide range of chemistries including oxides, nitrides, phosphates, fluorides, and bare metals. Common chemistries include, but are certainly not limited to, Al2O3, TiO2, ZrO2, BN, AlN, Pt, W, Co, Fe, and Ni. The simplicity of the reactor is paired with intuitive and easy to use control software that allows users to quickly create and store coating recipes for consistent results and quick setup. Reactor systems are tailored to each customer's needs, which helps eliminate extraneous hardware and cost.
Many of the available ALD systems in the market today are focused on semiconductor research and are installed in cleanrooms. At PneumatiCoat Technologies we realize the tremendous opportunities that are available for ALD on objects for applications "Outside the Cleanroom". We build reactor systems that are highly adaptable to our customers applications and our Systems Team has tremendous experience building systems for applications outside of the standard semiconductor application field.
