A summit of nanotechnology in Japan – IVAMs first joint pavilion at nano tech in Tokyo

The nano tech in Japan is the world’s largest international trade fair and conference for nanotechnology. In January 2015 some 800 exhibitors and 45,000 visitors are expected to come to Tokyo.
The exhibition and conference deal with nanotechnology applications for environmental protection and with the development of new energy sources. Other important themes are life sciences, medical, food production and cosmetics.

For the first time, the IVAM Microtechnology Network organizes a joint pavilion on-site to enable companies and institutes in the field of nanotechnology to present their products to the Japanese and international public.

During the nano tech CAN GmbH will present products for use in the field of material science like quantum dots for displays, LED/lighting or photovoltaic and life science like diagnostic agents. The main expertise of CAN lies in the production of various nanoscaled materials like fluorescent, magnetic and catalytically-active nanocrystals. These products are marketed under the brand CANdots.

Fraunhofer ICT-IMM will present a novel, modular reactor for continuous flow synthesis of nanoparticles at elevated temperatures. The reactor is capable of performing liquid-phase reactions at temperatures of up to 400 °C, common hot-injection synthesis protocols for the synthesis of nanomaterials can now be transferred from batch to continuous. Examples include organo-metallic syntheses as used for CdSe quantum dots (QDs), Pt and other metal nanoparticles, or oxide materials.

SENTECH Instruments develops, manufactures, and sells worldwide advanced quality instrumentation for plasma process technology, atomic layer deposition, thin film measurement, and photovoltaics. At nano tech 2015 SENTECH concentrates on the deposition of nanolayers. A focus is on a new product, the ALD Real Time Monitor, which features the direct monitoring of absorption and desorption processes on the substrate surface during ALD processes within ALD half cycles.

The nano tech is complemented by a diverse conference program. Furthermore, IVAM organizes, in cooperation with Japanese partners, business meetings during the exhibition. The meetings are open to all exhibiting companies or institutes and trade show visitors. An interpreter (English- Japanese) is available during the meetings.
