S.Schintke regularly acts as independent expert for the EC (FP7, H2020).
Invited talk:
Nano- and microstructure fabrication based on inkjet printing techniques: alternative routes for anti-counterfeit labels and master fabrication for polymer replication on nanoscale
Inkjet printing and nanoscale patterning techniques are used for the fabrication of nano- and microstructures. The developed techniques and processes serve as alternative routes for the development of anti-counterfeit labels using nanoparticle inks and inkjet printing for pattern generation and deposition control. Recent examples are presented which are of interest for inkjet based fabrication of the masters in polymer replication on nanoscale.
