Materials
Materials  | The company is the leading manufacturer of highly-ordered porous membranes from alumina and silicon with defined and adjustable properties and structure parameters. SmartMembranes not only manufactures membranes on customers‘ request, we also develop new processes and products around our core business. We are a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials, hence we work closely with that research institute as well as with the Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and the Max-Planck Institute for Micro Structure Physics in Halle/Germany. Products: SmartMembranes produces macro- und nanoporous structures from silicon and alumina. Our standard products SmartPor and MakroPor are characterized by a highly ordered structure and a low standard deviation of the pore diameter. Structural parameters such as pore size, lattice constant, porosity and membrane thickness can be adjusted at the nanometer level according to customer needs. The products can be further customized in collaboration with our clients. Surface functionalization (silanization) enables, for example, the control of the hydrophobicity / hydrophilicity of the pores. The membranes can also be used as templates for the development of new nanostructures. The galvanic deposition of metals or metal oxides or polymer wetting expand the possibilities for the production of defined nanotubes and nanorods. Potential applications can be found in the fields of filtration, sensor technology and diagnostics ("biochips"). The membranes serve as electrode material in battery development and in fuel cells or are used as an anti-reflective surface in optics. | ||
