The objective of this Research Training Group is to open new ways for education of graduate students along the innovative topic of the printable electronics. The scientific challenge is the demonstration of simple electronic circuits from printable nanoparticulate pastes. The advantages of flexible production of polymers are thus combined with the advantages of silicon technology. This approach opens new applications in the field of low price flexible electronics, e.g. integrated circuits for consumer products, radio frequency tags or flexible and transparent coatings for displays.
The teaching addresses disperse systems for electronics in cooperation with DEGUSSA company. From the very beginning, innovative tools for project management will be integrated. Each PhD-student will be supervised by two interdisciplinary groups from the university as well as by an expert from DEGUSSA.
The curriculum includes exclusively for the Research Training Group designed lectures given by all involved groups from the university and DEGUSSA, special lab experiments both at the university and at DEGUSSA. Furthermore, a variety of special courses are available which cover all technical aspects as well as courses on project management and economics. These are complemented by seminars, summer schools and invited lectures from researchers from abroad. The PhD-students will spend up to three month at DEGUSSA s Science to Business Center Nanotronics. In addition, each student will be sent a few weeks to a lab abroad. The Research Training Group is organised along the knowledge chain of printable electronics and may thus contribute to the further structural development of the university.
