About
The Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST in Braunschweig is an innovative partner for research and development in surface technology, with expertise in the associated product and production systems.
Around 110 employees work together with customers from industry and research to develop customized and sustainable solutions: from prototypes, through economic production scenarios, to upscaling to industrial magnitudes - and all this whilst maintaining closed material and substance cycles. In addition to application-oriented research and development, scientific principles are also researched within various collaborations with universities and research institutions.
Coating and surface technology are the key to innovative products and systems: Through modification, patterning and coating of the surface, a wide range of functions and functionalities can be realized. One of the institute's particularly strong points is its ability to create the optimum process chain for the respective task on the basis of a broad spectrum of processes and coating materials. The Fraunhofer IST not only has excellent capabilities in surface analysis using the very latest equipment but has also accumulated extensive experience in the modeling and simulation of both product properties and the associated processes and production systems.
