Workshop Topic: Applications of pulsed plasma surface treatment technologies for high performance coatings on all types of substrates: metals, glass, ceramics, polymers, etc. New developments will be discussed as well as the possibilities for a technology transfer in the industry.
Target group: cross-border operators who already rely on plasma surface technologies or those who wish to invest in this technology, and any other person interested in the topic.
Organizers: PULSATEC consortium: University of Lorraine, Saarland University, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, University of Liege and CRM Group. PULSATEC is a research consortium that aims to develop new solutions in the field of pulsed plasma surface treatment and is being co-funded by the ERDF in the framework of the INTERREG VA Grand Region program, as well as by the Chancellery of Saarland and Wallonia.
Time schedule: 5th October 2021, from 9:45 till 16:30
