The iCVD process offers a wide range of options for customizing coatings and optimizing them for various biomedical applications. For example, products for cell cultivation can be coated to improve the adhesion and cultivation of cells. As the method requires no solvents and few chemicals, it is also significantly more environmentally friendly than conventional wet-chemical coating processes.
An initial application example has already been realized together with a southern German window manufacturer. In a project funded by the Central Innovation Program for SMEs (ZIM) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, various antiviral coatings were applied to window glass. These are suitable for smaller surfaces that are exposed to frequent contact, such as touch displays in ambulances, filters in respiratory masks or EC devices at supermarket checkouts.
