Workshop 7: Nanoelectronics, Biomaterials and Encapsulation

Topic and theme of the workshop

Hybrid materials offer the possibility of exploiting the materials properties of both their organic and inorganic constituents, with the attractive possibility of creating altogether novel functionalities. In the form of thin films, these materials can enable breakthroughs in several technological application areas. Combining inorganic and organic building blocks on a molecular scale is challenging due to the different preparative conditions needed for forming inorganic and organic networks. An attractive method is molecular layer deposition (MLD).

This workshop is comprised of 3 main topics:

  1. Nanoelectronics (June 3-4). Both current and prospective future applications of hybrid and organic materials will be explored in talks given by invited senior researchers outside and inside HYCOAT network.
  2. Biomaterials (June 7-8) from a fundamental and applicaiton point of view. Hybrid and organic materials will be explored in talks given by invited senior researchers outside and inside HYCOAT network.
  3. Encapsulation (June 9-10) from a fundamental and applicaiton point of view. Hybrid and organic materials will be explored in talks given by invited senior researchers outside and inside HYCOAT network.
