13. Short Course 2022

TFT

This year's 13th short course "Coating and Drying of Thin Films“ and 6th “Thin Film Technology Forum” took place this year from May 09th – 13th. Like last year, it was again a virtual event. We had several international speakers from academia and industry. The program can be found here

The Short Course Coating and Drying of Thin Films addresses engineers, scientists and technicians working in the areas of coatings, functional films, direct printing, sensors, adhesives & tapes, battery coating, paints & automotive coatings, medical patches & diagnostics, optical foils, membrane processing, printed electronics, fuel cells and smart coatings, who intend to get insight into more fundamental aspects with industrial applications or to deepen their expertise. Leading national and international scientists and experts from academia and industry will report on topics of coating technologies, rheology, preparation of coating fluids and about fundamentals and industrial aspects of drying technology.
Within the scope of the short course, coating processes and drying technology were explained interactively by easily accessible examples, both in lectures as well as in a practical Workshop instructed by TFT staff members.

At the 6th Thin Film Technology Forum, renowned scientists presented and discussed recent research results and new trends in industry and academia with a focus on Advances in Printing, Batteries, Fuel Cells, Electrolysers, Smart Processes & Coatings.
