The main objectives of our project are:
Attainment of fundamental and applicative research activities also regarding
technological development that will be pointed to:
- setting up the technology for elastomer based microsystem manufacturing;
- designing new types of sensors based on elastomer material;
- designing of new types of optimized elastomer based microsystems, which will
be transferred to potential customers (delivered turn-key know-how and design
solution);
Know-how exchange between partners, dedicated for the developing of new
measurement and characterization equipment pointed to the enlargement of the
research and transfer infrastructure in our country for:
4) - designing and manufacturing of an original optical apparatus, awarded in
lon of Invention, Bruxelles 2004, which will be used in material
characterization for high-tech technologies like integrated optics and
optoelectronics. This equipment will be part of the technological facilities of
the excellence nucleus (defined in point 5), but will be also available for
customers
Creation of an excellence nucleus at national level that will cover the whole
range of elastomer based microsystems, from know-how to technological
facilities, from research to manufacturing and production of such microsystems.
This nucleus will remain active after the project ending and its results will be
made available by:
5) - dissemination pointed to potential customers of the know-how generated in
the project frame and coupling with related European projects. By customer we
mean economical units (SME or large companies), but we do not exclude research
or educational units, or even any person eager to inform its self and learn what
elastomer based microsystems are. This dissemination activity will continue also
after the project ending.
Coherent development of the partners research and technological infrastructure
by:
6) - technological equipment acquisition, that will be at the basis of the
excellence nucleus.
In order to accomplish these main objectives, another set of secondary objective
must be reached, namely:
-
manufacturing, experimenting and characterization of elastomer thin layers;
-
modeling and simulation, manufacturing and characterization of simple elastomer
based microstructures;
-
research and experimentation on electrical contacting of the elastomer based
microsystems.
