Info

Specific issues highlighted by the experts are the lack of available equipment for preparing test samples with specific properties and/or structure as well as to perform final tests for research validation. In some cases, available facilities are the boundary conditions that define what type of research is undertaken and not the other way around. Linked to the accessibility to the required equipment/instrumentation, most of the experts agree that cost increases every year or remains fairly stable. This percentage is even higher according to industrial experts. According to some experts, the fact that equipment complexity rises and requirements tighten leads to sustained increase in R&D costs. In most cases, there is not the need to completely change the equipment used but to upgrade it with new modules. On the contrary, some experts think that the number of equipment suppliers (also from other sectors such as inkjet or CVD technology) is increasing and maintain the cost fairly stable. When asked about the convenience of having pilot production plants close to the research labs to facilitate technology transfer to industries, most of the experts agree that that would be beneficial. The fact that this type of centre could be used for providing skills to co-workers is very much appreciated. 37 Roadmap report on Thin films and coatings
2.4.3 Health, safety and environmental aspects According to the experts there are environmental issues related to the utilisation of different solvents. That’s the case of two well-established processes such as the solgel or the electrodeposition process. The large volumes used increase the impact. Some thin films use nanoparticles and the particular HSE problems of these are covered in the roadmap on the nanoparticles. 38 Roadmap report on Thin films and coatings
