Materials Webinar | Initiated Chemical Vapor Deposition (iCVD) of Functional Organic Films
Meet Our Speakers
Kiel University, Germany;
Thomas Strunskus is an experienced resesearcher at the Chair for Multicomponent Materials at the Institute for Materials Science at Kiel University, Germany. He received his Ph.D. 1993 from the University of Heidelberg, Germany working on Metal/Polymer Interfaces. 1994 he joined the group of Prof. Franz Faupel in Kiel and was involved in many research projects of the group.. From 2001 to 2006 he was active in the Physical Chemistry group at Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany. He has published more than 150 peer reviewd publications. His work focusses mainly on surface and interface studies of organic materials as well as on vapor phase deposition of polymers. He is also very active in synchrotron based x-ray spectroscopy.
In the first speech of Prof. Dr. Karen K. Gleason, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in USA, the advantages of iCVD for many applications were demonstrated as she showed that iCVD deposition can be very well controlled and is a versatile tool to prepare functional polymer coatings on many different kind of substrates.
The third and final speech was given by Dr. Stefan Schröder, from Kiel University in Germany, and was focused on electrets prepared by iCVD and the preparation of ultra-thin gradient films.
The presentations were followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chair. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found here on Sciforum website.
