Bayer Technology Services collaborates with the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg
Basic research in the field of high-performance materials
"The Excellence Cluster's research program includes the formation of strategic alliances with selected businesses. These strategic alliances address basic scientific and interdisciplinary problems, which absolutely must be solved in order to establish new technologies. We look forward to working with BTS on these issues," comments Professor Wolfgang Peukert, head of the Institute of Particle Technology at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg and coordinator of the Excellence Cluster, on the occasion of signing the agreement.
The cooperation agreement encompasses two projects that explore basic questions regarding the development of new production technologies. The more extensive of the two cooperation projects addresses the technical manufacturing of opto-electronic components, such as light-emitting diodes, solar cells, thin-film transistors and sensors, based on functionalized particle systems. In this case, specialists from Bayer Technology Services will partner with researchers from the University of Erlangen working in the fields of chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, material sciences and electrical engineering. The second cooperation project targets the development of a new catalyst morphology, characterized not only by high activity, but also by improved mechanical stability and a low tendency towards deactivation. The total volume of the two and four year projects is EUR 2 million. Funding will be provided equally by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and Bayer Technology Services.
