Model Topographies A well characterized microtopography is essential for all scientific research involving surfaces and interfaces. Most surfaces present features on multiple length scales making it hard to isolate the effect of the macro, micro, or nano scale on a...
HARISSA The main objective of the Harissa project is to foster innovation across the nanotechnology and plastic processing fields. The project focuses on (1) the development of process chains for the manufacturing of micro and nanostructured 3D steel mold inserts and...
Drug-eluting stent Our client’s desire was to obtain micro reservoirs on the surface of cardiac stents. Volume control and positioning precision were critical. We started by producing prototypes and ended with a technology transfer with the industrialization of...
Titanium dental implant 112’000 close packed hemispherical cavities (diam. 25 µm) were created between the thread of this titanium dental implant. In a second step, the microstructure was covered by a nanoporous oxide film to add a nanoscale roughness. CLIENT EPFL...
