Biophy Research
Know-how
Biophy Research is specialized in the surface analysis of industrial products with a view to developing materials for which the physical and chemical surface and interface properties are the main added value. Issues previously dealt with include surface cleanliness and contamination, surface treatments (plasma), chemical functionalization, thin coatings, wettability, adhesion, biocompatibility, bonding, printing, permeation, corrosion, failure analysis, powder and nano-particle analysis in the field of polymers, textiles, biomaterials, semi-conductors, metals, glass and ceramics, paper, packaging and cosmetics.
