Organization profile
ITMA is a technological center located in Asturias (Spain) focused on the development of materials science
and technology. The activity is market-oriented and R&D projects are currently developed for Refractory,
Steelmaking, Energy, Electronic and Ceramic sectors.
Main capacities in nanotechnology / nanoscience
Main research lines are:
- Thin film solar technology for building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV)
- Physical (sputtering, evaporation) and chemical (PECVD, thermal) vapor deposition technology
- Synthesis of single and multiwall carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition
- Synthesis of graphene by chemical vapor deposition and development of transfer processes for
different substrates
- Design and development of metallic nanostructures for plasmon enhancement in solar cells
- Novel transparent conductors (nanowires, graphene, PEDOT:PSS) as an alternative to transparent
conductive oxides. Development of low-cost coating technologies.
- Advanced polymer technology for different industrial sectors
- New encapsulants with spectral conversion for solar industry
- Luminescent solar concentrators: second generation concepts and complete device manufacturing
