Event

Polymer Replication on Nanoscale (PRN) 2021

Die 7. Internationale Konferenz Polymer Replication on Nanoscale findet als Onlinekonferenz statt. Gastgeber ist das Institut für Nanotechnische Kunststoffanwendungen (INKA) an der FHNW in Brugg-Windisch. nano.swiss ist Partner der Veranstaltung – treffen Sie uns an der PRN!

Die Konferenzreihe Polymer Replication on Nanoscale (PRN) wurde bisher in Dänemark, der Schweiz, Deutschland und Irland abgehalten. Die PRN hat sich als wichtiges internationales Forum für führende Experten etabliert, um neueste Entwicklungen, Forschungsergebnisse und Zukunftsvisionen für die Polymer-Mikro-/Nanofertigung und deren Anwendungen auszutauschen. Darüber hinaus wird die PRN 2021 auch einen starken Fokus auf die industrielle Umsetzung von mikro- und nanostrukturierten Polymeroberflächen legen.
