Clean Energy Testbeds, University of Washington [USA]
“When we sought to build our lab into a world-class facility for advanced manufacturing of energy devices, functional films and printed electronics, FOM emerged as the foremost company that could provide the high precision roll to roll system we needed.
Since then we have very successfully used the FOM tools extensively and have been building new coating, printing and thermal processing capabilities within our research group and with local, national and international users across a range of applications.”
Dr. J. D. MacKenzie, Technical Director
CSML Lab, University of Ioannina [GR]
“In our R&D for Slot-die coated, printed thermoelectrics, FRP prepregs towards printing thermoelectrically-enabled aeroplane wings, the FOM roll-to-roll (R2R) is a unique coating machinery apparatus thanks to the expertise of FOM.
A highly innovative company in the field of printed electronics & specialised machinery, thereby being our excellent partner in the framework of the EU-H2020 HARVEST project.”
Dr. Lazaros Tzounis, Post-doc Researcher
KAUST Solar Center [KSA]
“Slot-die coating is one of many methods that can be used to deposit a thin liquid film to the surface of a substrate. Compared to other existing coating techniques this method can easily integrated from lab to scale-up processes. The process results with best quality uniform thin film deposition across the length/width of the coating surface. This coating technique is favorable with a wide range of solution of different viscosities. The process is also suitable with roll-to-roll deposition. This method is of great interest among researchers these days for transition from lab-scale to pilot-level production. Currently, the main focus of research is to use Slot-die coating technique in the field of photovoltaic, OLEDs, quantum dots and many others.”
Dr. Derya Baran, Assistant Professor of Material Science and Engineering
