  • CUSTOM - Investigation of the material behavior of ultrathin flexible glass in layered composites

    With the market launch of foldable displays, flexible glasses recently entered mass production. In order to firmly establish them as a flexible substrate material and alternative to polymer films, stable and reliable production processes must be developed. Until now, mechanical failure of the glasses has led to costly production downtime. The CUSTOM project therefore aims to gain new fundamental insights into the edge strength and fatigue behavior of thin glass and the influence of selected coating and separation processes on these properties. The strength parameters determined can be used directly for dimensioning and designing equipment throughout the thin glass processing value chain. The project is being handled by Fraunhofer FEP in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IMWS. The IMWS is a methodologically oriented institute in the discipline of materials science and materials engineering.

    46th Dresden secondary school representing an existing building on which the retrofit units of the switchable films will be tested in operation

    The object of the joint project FLEX-G 4.0 is to develop a cost-effective retrofit solution of innovative switchable films that can be laminated as easily as possible onto already installed windows and contribute to reducing the overall energy transmittance (g-value) of the windows and thus the energy demand of the building.

    The main objective of the project is transfer of research results into suitable system designs and manufacturing technologies for large-area electrochromic films to be installed directly on the construction site. Furthermore, robust processes for "easy" on-site application of these films to windows and facades in existing buildings are to be developed. As an integral part of the system design, solutions for mains-independent energy supply and suitable switching parameters and sensor technologies for wireless, automated control of the switching state of the films are to be researched. Another objective includes the demonstration and experimental quantification of the energy saving potential in two operational buildings in the public sector.

    For demonstrating and monitoring purposes, it is planned to integrate the retrofit films at an existing building, the 46th Dresden Secondary School, as well as in the newly constructed laboratory building of Fraunhofer FEP. In addition, the Fraunhofer Institutes FEP and ISC will provide teaching materials for science subjects and offer internships for pupils. Involvement in the measurements and evaluation of the results together with the pupils is also planned. This is intended to arouse the interest of the next generation in various technical and scientific professions and also in energy-saving, sustainable technologies and their development.

  • GLASS4FLEX

    New process technologies as pioneers for flexible glass applications in optical systems Subproject: Research, development and provision of a process chain for large-area cleaning, inspection, handling and PVD processing of flexible ultra-thin glass at Fraunhofer FEP.

    The challenge in the use of ultra-thin glass lies in the entire process chain of its processing. This is where the joint project GLASS4FLEX comes in. It addresses the handling of individual large-area flexible thin glasses of the maximum size of 1.2 m × 0.6 m. At the center of the consortium is SCHOTT AG as the developer and manufacturer of the ultra-thin glass. The other project partners span the entire process chain - starting with the Schmid Group, which will deal with the development of cleaning processes as well as the associated  process technology for the thin glass in in-line cleaning systems. Subsequently, the Gesellschaft für Bild- und Signalverarbeitung (GBS) mbH will take over the research and development of the analysis of the 3D surface properties including the 3D sensor technology and the automatic testing machine. Handling and transfer will be covered by the partners ProTec Carrier Systems GmbH and Adenso Industrial Services GmbH.

    As part of the project, Fraunhofer FEP is conducting research on optical and electrical functional coatings for thin glass in the sheet-to-sheet process. As a result, it should be possible to present the first large-area coated thin glasses with color-neutral scratch protection and transparent electrode from a fully constructed process chain in Dresden by 2022.

  • revoLect

    Joint project: revoLect - High-efficiency electrodes with ultralight fabric-based current collectors for lithium-ion batteries. Subproject: Development of vacuum technologies for the productive deposition of columnar silicon layers on fabric.

    The aim of the revoLect project is to create novel electrodes with lightweight fabric-based current collectors for lithium-ion batteries (LIB) and significantly increase the specific energy density. The use of pure silicon as the active anode material in combination with a lightweight and adapted fabric structure should help form the basis for this. The aim of Fraunhofer FEP is to develop a process for the advantageous deposition of the silicon on novel fabrics. The layer thickness of the silicon and the fabric structures are to be matched to each other in such a way that an optimum is achieved with regard to the gravimetric energy density of the anode. Another goal is the development of a suitable and economically attractive roll-to-roll evaporation process, with which a layer thickness of at least 9µm silicon can be deposited at a process speed of 1m/min, which corresponds to a capacity of approx. 3 mAh/cm².
