Reactive and optical materials

In the third evening event in the series “Materials shape Product” of the action line Hessen-Nanotech of the Hessian Ministry of Economics, reactive and optical multi-materials of producers and users will be presented. Material innovations of the next generation have additional qualities in addition to traditional functional aspects. For the user, the invisible qualities of applications change smarter and reactive materials expand enormously.

A change in glass facades, when exposed to sunrays, can be given a chance to be coloured or transparent. Plastics get self-healing qualities, cracks can be closed automatically. Alkaline-soluble plastics can’t be assigned to a complete new category. This refers to materials that enable the integrated circuits of materials to be reused without loss of quality.
