The Editorial Team

Which developments can deal with the effects and later consequences of the corona pandemic? The Fraunhofer IST has been particularly concerned with these question recently.

The direct metallization of plastics using HIPMIS technology and the model calculation for nitrogen oxide degradation using photocatalysis are a selection of topics that are keeping us busy. You can find numerous other contributions about research activities and results of the Fraunhofer IST in our annual report 2019.

In the coming months, the Fraunhofer IST is planning to participate in the following conferences as far as they will take place in regard to the current situation.
