Among the possible applications of ionic liquid in nanotechnology, ionic liquids are know to be able to act as a template for the synthesis of porous nanomaterials through their preorganized structure. Ionic liquids can also be used as a solvent and stabilizer for preparation of inorganic nanoparticles, enabling the control of particles size-growth. They can also be utilized as dispersion media for nanoparticles or as solvent for electrodeposition of nanocrystalline films of a wide range of metals that can not be electrodeposited from aqueous solutions. The expertise of IoLiTec is complemented by the company’s close collaborations with various institutes of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft and a number of leading research groups at universities in Germany and abroad.
IoLiTec’s services include consulting and feasibility studies as well as the development of marketable products and applications based on ionic liquids, nanomaterials or the combination of both materials in new technologies. The use of ionic liquids in nanomaterial technologies has already shown important advantages in the last years and is still being investigated by academies and industries. Next to R&D services, IoLiTec offers high quality nanomaterials (metal, oxide, nitride, carbide powders fullerenes and carbon nanotubes) at very competitive prices.

Nanomaterials for surface technology are at the forefront because an extremely high multiplication factor is achieved here: Extraordinary technological effects can be produced even with small quantities of tailor-made nanomaterials. Products with nanocoatings can in many ways help enterprises to gain a competitive advantage.

EPG's surface technology focuses on the following three business sectors, some of which are in part still being established:

-New high performance metal coatings

-Hygienic surface technologies

-New high performance surface technology on plastics with special functions and special focus on intelligent films and for optics.

The fourth sector comprises multifunctional high-performance binding agents on a nanotechnology basis with special focus on

-new technologies for energy saving, crude oil and natural gas production.

Infineon Technologies was founded on April 1, 1999, as a wholly owned Siemens company comprised of all of Siemens' semiconductor activities. This was in preparation for the planned public offering of a part of Infineon, which took place on March 13, 2000 at the Frankfurt and New York stock exchanges. By End of 2001 Siemens has reduced its economic ownership of Infineon Shares to 41.3 percent. 13.2 percent are owned by the Siemens Pension Trust and 45.5 percent are free float. Free float in terms of voting rights is 64 percent.

Today, Infineon Technologies is one of the world's ten leading semiconductor manufacturers, and occupies the number 2 position in Europe. With 16 manufacturing sites and 27 research and development locations in Asia, Europe and the US, we employ approximately 30,000 people on three continents. This workforce develops, markets and sells basic products for the information and communications industry. Infineon Technologies AG has achieved sales of 5.671 billion US $ in 2001 and now ranks number nine worldwide in semiconductor revenues.

With its four business groups Wireline Communications, Secure Mobile Solutions, Automotive & Industrial and Memory Products, Infineon is offering comprehensive solutions for a broad range of semiconductor products. Important target markets are: access, Wide Area Networks (WAN), Metropolitan Networks (MAN), and Local Area Networks (LAN), optical networks, mobile communications and networks, access control and network security (telecommunications, banking, health care, e- and m-commerce) car electronics (airbag, ABS, navigation systems) industrial drives and power supplies, as well as PCs and notebooks, workstations and server.

Infineon has leading know-how in key technologies such as high performance DRAMs and specialty memory products (e.g. for networks, servers, routers, mobile-RAM and graphics), leadership in 300mm wafer production, 10-40 Gigabit optical networking, mixed signal and radio frequency expertise for mobile communications as well as chip card technologies, security- and identsystem-ICs.

A worldwide network of research and development centers along with frontend and backend manufacturing plants located on three continents is the basis for our technology and cost leadership in key segments of the semiconductor market as well as highest quality standards for our products and excellent system expertise.

For a long time epitaxial technologies have been one dimensional. Meaning, the sole possibility was to change the structure of epitaxial layer in one direction - in the direction of growth.

Nanosemiconductor's NanoEpitaxial technology opens new and unique opportunities to break away from the "planar" single dimensional world.

Having the deep understanding of self-organization Nanosemiconductor is able to create new types of semiconductor nano-heterostructures. In doing so, Nanosemiconductor works with nature, not against it.

Long description

Our special production technology and the high quality of NanoSilver BG allows a very homogenous and intimate distribution of particles in the material. An efficient antimicrobial surface-activity is achieved by only minor additions. Already the nanoporous silver shows a considerably better surface value than competitor products which results in a superior antimicrobial behaviour. This effect can even be enhanced severalfold by using Bio-GateВґs nanodispersen silver formulation.

Elemental silver can be introduced into polymers more easily and more homogeneously if applied in fine particle distribution. Smaller silver particles do expose a higher surface so that superior antiinfective surfaces can be created. Likewise the same antiinfective properties can be achieved with less silver if it is applied in finer distribution.

Producing such fine particles is a rather sophisticated task. Bio-Gate produces a nanoporous silver powder in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Applied Materials Research (IFAM). The powder is used to give products new antiinfective properties. The primary particle size is between 50 nm and 100 nm. Since the particles aggregate spontaneously, nanoporous particles with a size between 5-10 m are formed. This high porosity of the silver material also allows a very intimate contact between the metal and the polymer into which it was compounded. Vacuum vaporization and recondensation on a continuous liquid film allows for the production of even finer particles. Average particles sizes down to 5 nm can be achieved, reminding rather of an atom cluster than of a macroscopic particle. Thus silver in extremely fine distribution can be compounded into polymer formulations leading to new nanocomposite materials.

Since also the silver can be distributed more homogenously, product quality and security are enhanced. Even by international standards Bio-Gate nanosilver is unique and of the highest quality. Chemically, since also the production process is a pure physical one, the resulting material behaves very homogeneously. There is no need for further purification steps so that the nanosilver can be applied immediately. Given the right formulation silver ions are set free at levels sufficient to kill microbes on the surface of a medical device. To avoid unwanted toxic side effects the silver dosage can be lowered to the product- or application-specific optimum.
