The aim of the µSAPIENT CA is to prepare the European industry for a move from designing MST-based products for specific materials and technologies (platform and technology push products) to adopting new disruptive processes/process chains to satisfy specific functional and technical requirements of new emerging multi-material products:

  • creation of meso/micro-products that are less process intensive
  • broadening of product capabilities
  • better exploitation of the application potential of new generic

MNT by European companies

  • facilitating a new level of synergetic integration of micro- &

nano- manufacturing technologies in support of a number of European industrial sectors

Micro Powder Injection Molding

  • exploits established plastic micro replication technology

for the realization of ceramic and metal microparts

  • huge potential for automation
  • low cost fabrication method for ceramic and metalic

microparts

  • technology close to industry
  • but: molding is only a part of a complex process chain

Polymer-based Feedstocks - Interfaces

  • Compatibilization of hydrophilic and hydrophobic environment
  • Reduction of the particle-particle interaction
  • Reduction of the feedstocks viscosity

Interface - Citrates

  • Citrates: 4 potential coupling positions (HLB: 6.2 – 8.1)
  • TEC, TBC: free hydroxy functionality (dipole moment ≈ 3.7 - 4.5)
  • ATEC, ATBC: covered hydroxy functionality (dipole moment ≈ 1.4 - 1.5)
