Current Work
I am currently working on the ON-SURF project, a mobilizing program that involves national companies from different sectors of activity and non-corporate entities from I&D.
One objective of this project is to perform surface treatments or decorative coatings on diverse substrates. These types of surface modifications are relevant in diverse markets as the automotive industry (interior and exterior), consumer goods (mobile phones, computers and cameras, jewelry and watches), home products (bathroom equipment, cutlery) and glasses. In all these applications, surfaces are intended to be moderately hard, scratch resistant and to have a wide range of colors. Magnetron sputtering has become the process of choice for the deposition of a wide range of coatings at industrial scale.
The major innovation of this project will be to obtain a hard, wear and corrosion resistant base structure presenting colors that are not currently available on the market and with antifouling properties.
