Business Area Dynamic Interfaces

The business area deals with surfaces in motion including biological systems and combines the expertise of senior scientists with a strong background in tribology and colloid and surface science.

 

We look at:

  • adhesion
  • Friction
  • Wear
  • tibology

This is relevant for moving systems in motors and machines as well as for medical devices and oral and ocular systems

 

Tactile Perception

A key focus is tactile perception in which we correlate measurable parameters of adhesion and friction to what people actually feel.

 

Business opportuinities in:

  • Personal care and Home care including Hair and Oral products
  • food Industry for oral perception
  • medical implants and antibacterial surfaces
  • lubrication
  • adhesives
  • bearings
  • ultra low friction and wear surfaces.   

 

We conduct applied contract research and offer consultation services.
