Visit at Covestro in the Netherlands

The work on the implementation of the PDW technology at our industrial NanoPAT partners continues. On May 24th, innoFSPEC team Katlen, Sebastian, Marvin and Anika went to Covestro in Waalwijk (Netherlands) where they had a look at the R&D labs as well as the pilot and production plants. Together with their colleagues from Covestro, they planned the technical implementation of PDW technology at Covestro’s R&D facilities to explore the full potential of PDW spectroscopy as a potential new PAT in the polymer production process.

Visit at Evonik

This week, innoFSPEC members Katlen, Sebastian, Justin, Marvin and Anika went to Wesseling by Cologne to see the industrial site of NanoPAT partners Evonik. They visited the R&D labs and pilot plants of Evonik's silica section and planned the technical implementation of the PDW technology in these labs, potentially working towards having PDW spectrometry as a new PAT in the silica production process.

LASER World of PHOTONICS

innoFSPEC members Stephanie Schlappa and Anne Hartwig are currently attending the LASER World of PHOTONICS in Munich. As part of the joint exhibition stand of Berlin Partner, they represent the University of Potsdam and Potsdam Transfer, giving information on Joint Lab OPAT and PDW Spectroscopy. Pass by if you are in Munich!

Visit at POLYMAT

innoFSPEC members Stephanie Schlappa and Tobias Simon are currently visiting our colleagues at the POLYMAT Institute of the University of the Basque Country in Spain. POLYMAT is our partner in the NanoPAT project, responsible for the lab-scale replication and PDW monitoring of polymeric dispersion synthesis processes. Stephanie and Tobias are supporting them in the maintainance of the PDW spectrometer and the analysis of the measurement data. We are wishing them a successful collaboration!
