PHONAS
"Photocatalytic nanolayers". PHONAS consists of five complementary individual projects with strong links to each other. It comprises five renowned R&D partners and eight partners from industry – with an SME share of 90 per cent. This creates a multi-disciplinary team with high expertise in chemistry, physics, material sciences, processing technologies and mechanical engineering on the scientific side, and with industrial competence in the areas of furniture composite boards, sanitary ware, stone, glass, cleaning & coating and plant construction. The overriding objective is the development of scientific and technical foundations for new transparent, self-cleaning coatings based on photocatalytic nanoparticles (PCNP) for special indoor and outdoor products.
