6 The Institute for Materials Technology and Plastics Processing (IWK), University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil Looks for the coordinator Topics NMP or NMP : Tests and analyses of the influences of injection moulding with nano reinforced materials to parts properties (content, size, shape and distribution of filler) NMP , NMP or NMP : R+D work in the pre-phase of serial production concerning conversion of new materials into new products, e.g. transparent polymers with electrical or thermal conductivity for electronics and photonics NMP or NMP : –Integration of new functionalities into plastic parts (sensors, lighting, electrical or thermal conductivity, etc.) in a one step process for cost-effective parts production. Wide experience exists with back injection moulding. –Developing and realisation of new cost-efficient, energy saving and flexible production processes using special mould and process technologies. Actual project experiences exist with cycle time reduction of up to 60%. NMP , NMP or NMP : Recombining the advantages of plastic and composite material properties using innovative production processes, e.g. metal injection moulded load transmission elements for large composite structures. Experience in a collaborative project between IWK, ETHZ and a German University of Applied Sciences.

7 Surface S.r.l (Rome) Project Title: DEVELOPMENT OF NEW NANO-CRYSTALLINE SURFACE CONVERSION COATINGS FOR METALS The objective of this project is to develop for HDG steel, a conversion coating formed by a single nano-layer or multi layers allowing new surface functions such as: appearance, adherence, corrosion, resistance Partner request: 4 SMEs The ideal Partner is a SME producer either of chemical conversion treatment solution and/or paint systems either a hot-dip Galvanizer whose market is the general line including eventually galvanized steel rebar for concrete reinforcement.
