The 19th International Coating Symposium was successfully held virtually from Coatema's TV studio this year.
There were talks from speakers of different nations and industries, including "High-speed inkjet printing – a system integration perspective” from NTS Eindhoven Netherland, Ph.D. Shahzad Khan, Dr. Dimitrios Kourkoulos from Coatema with his abstract of "Nanocellulose as sustainable packaging substrates,” and Ing. Milan Saalmink from Holst Centre/TNO Eindhoven Netherland's "Wearable patches for vital sign monitoring."
Afterward, there was a panel discussion between speakers and participants and completely new designed product videos of the Coatema Easycoater and Smartcoater.
Fraunhofer FEP's Dr. John Fahlteich presented an abstract about the EU-funded initiative "FlexFunction2Sustain” project of which Coatema is part of it.
Werner Volk from Optima packaging Germany gave an overview of the "Fuel cell converting technologies” and Prof. Thomas Gries from RWTH Aachen presented "Integrated functions form the line – smart composites manufactured continuously.”
A second panel discussion and the third product video of the Coatema Click&CoatTM system were shown before Prof. Argiris Laskarakis from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki gave an insight into solar cells and the "RealNano” EU funded project – Coatema is also part of it – in his presentation "Quality control systems for flexible solar cells."
Dr. Klaus-Peter Crone from Coatema explained, "Intermittent slot die.”
Speakers provided closing remarks and were able to answer questions from participants.
Coatema has decided to have more virtual content in 2021.
