Advanced Coating Technology Research Center, AIST

Mission

The mission of the center is to advance coating technologies by R&D for materials and elucidation of mechanism of film formation and to transfer these technologies to private enterprises in multiple business fields. AD method (the aerosol deposition), ELAMOD (excimer laser-assisted metal organic deposition) and LIJ (Laser assisted Ink-Jet printing) are set as core coating technologies.

Priority research subject

Currently, we mainly focus on the AD method and ELAMOD, which are asked to consult "bridging" the gap between innovative technological seeds and commercialization in many business fields. We will conduct research and development on the processes based on the benchmark with the conventional processes, and on basic and applied research leading to mass production with the aim of reducing bridging risk seen from the company side.
