An enhanced level of corrosion protection, especially for small but precious objects, can be achieved with a bi-layer protective stack, developed by nanoGUNE and Tecnalia. The protection is developed for metallic (e.g. steel) objects, but can be applied to polymeric objects as well. The highly efficient corrosion protection solution is based on a combination of atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique and a sol-gel coating process with a special formulation. It can be applied to precious and small objects, for example mechanical watches, visual objects such as logos, or antiques for their conservation.

Description - A tool that is capable of AC-field modulated magneto-optical ellipsometry measurements and designed to do this in an extremely sensitive manner, while using low-cost components. - It is a stand-alone system that does not require a high-quality laboratory environment. It achieves (sufficiently) rapid metrology data acquisition, so that it is capable of scanning entire wafers. Thus, it has the potential to be utilized under production like conditions. - Due to our novel methodology we are able to obtain measurements with a sensitivity in the rage of 510-8 and are able to characterize ferromagnetic samples as well as non-ferromagnetic samples. - We have demonstrated that separate information about different individual layers in a magnetic multilayer system can be obtained,even if individual layers generate only a very small fraction of the magneto-optical signal.It is furthermore possible to detect if such different layers show a synchronized or unsynchronized magnetization reversal. ADVANTAGES - T-MOKE geometry – more suitable for applications (compact design) - Robustness - Extreme sensitivity level - Efficient false signal suppression - Cost-effective components - Entire surface scans possible - No (high quality) laboratory environment needed

So in recent years "we have developed the Novaspider equipment, which merges 3D printing manufacturing techniques with electrospinning techniques to produce fibers", explained Latasa. "By using polymer nanofibers, whose nature, diameter, appearance and morphology can be simply and efficiently modulated, the equipment makes it possible to design composite materials that are robust, light, porous and have a high specific surface area," he added.
