Experts from the Nanotechnology Lab LTFN (http://www.ltfn.gr) of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, present the activities and innovations of the LTFN Lab in the fields of the development of flexible Organic Electronic devices (as Organic Photovoltaics, Organic Light Emitting Diodes and Organic Thin Film Transistors (OTFTs)). The infrastructure of the lab enhances the research, promotes collaborations (European and national projects), establishes networks (HOPE-A http://www.hope-a.com/, NanoNet http://www.nanonet.gr/) and supports the translation of the research results into commercialization of products and services (collaboration with SMEs).
An overview of the research activities of the Nanotechnology LTFN Lab in the framework of Horizon 2020 Projects is presented. These include the:
H2020 Factory of the Future (FoF) Project SmartLine (www.smartline-project.eu) which will create intelligent and zero-defect manufacturing processes by developing robust and non-destructive in-line metrology tools (optical, electrical, structural) and process control platform to achieve the reliable and closed-loop manufacturing of Organic Electronic devices (OPVs and OLEDs for lighting) by Roll-to-Roll Printing and Organic Vapour Phase Deposition (OVPD) pilot lines.
H2020 NMBP Project CORNET (https://www.cornet-project.eu) which will develop a unique EU Open Innovation Environment (OIE) covering the triangle of Manufacturing, Modelling and Experimentation. The project will also optimize the OLAE materials, behavior and nano-devices’ manufacturing processes through multi-scale characterization and modelling. This will have huge impact on the fast and reliable development of new materials and devices, enabling the control of production processes for tailored OE devices fabrication and systems for industrial applications.
