TresClean Project

TresClean is back in the news! An article summarising the results of our H2020 funded work to develop novel laser technologies to create antibacterial surfaces is now available from @CORDIS_EU. cordis.europa.eu/article/id/… #H2020, #lasers #Photonics21

The final TresClean newsletter has now been published. Read about the results and achievements of the H2020 TresClean project at tresclean.eu/publications

Well it is almost time...... Our Project comes to an end at the end of this month. Check out our final Project video to see our achievements. @unipr @Uni_Stuttgart @ALPhANOV_ @raylasegmbh @EcorIntern @ModusRI @TheBSHGroup @Photonics21 @EU_H2020 #lasers tresclean.eu/

Interesting read on Ultrashort-pulse laser applications advancements. industrial-lasers.com/surfac…

Look at what our partners BSH & @EcorIntern have been doing with Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) of 855 nm periodic structures on a surface of a 400 kg injection mould, and on the outer surface of a 1-inch stainless steel tube, both at the IFSW (@Uni_Stuttgart).

The @trescleaneu team met at @EcorIntern in Schio this week, to discuss the results achieved so far, and what will be done in the last 6 months of our Project. #photonics #laser

This periodic structure will then be transferred to the inner surface of the plastic water tanks after the injection process. (5 of 5) #lasers #photonics #antimicrobial #texturation tresclean.eu

The used laser source is the TresClean ThinDisk Multipass Amplifier (TDMPA) with 8 picoseconds pulse duration & an average power of up to 1 kW at 300kHz repetition rate developed & built by University of Stuttgart IFSW. (4 of 5) #antimicrobial @TheBSHGroup @Uni_Stuttgart

This process was done with a structuring rate of 416 mm2/s (considering only the laser on time) onto an area of about 145,600 mm2 (280 x 520 mm2), 1000 x 500 mm2 are possible with the current system. The mould has a weight of about 500 kg. (3 of 5) @Uni_Stuttgart @TheBSHGroup

The picture shows the Injection mould after DLIP Treatment. Process was done with a structuring rate of 416 mm2/s onto an area of about 280 x 520 mm2. The DLIP optics used can be seen in the top right. The period of the structure is 855 nm. (2 of 5) #photonics #lasers

Our Partners have been busy The University of Stuttgart IFSW have structured the surface of the injection mould (provided by our partner BSH) with a line like periodic structure by means of the Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) method (1 of 5)@TheBSHGroup @Uni_Stuttgart

The @TresCleanEU project coordinators, @unipr, have published a scientific article in the Surface and Coatings Technology journal titled "Modelling the interaction between bacterial cells and laser-textured surfaces". Check it out here: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Don't forget to come along to the Laser Materials Processing Forum at @PHOTONICSWORLD @ 12:00 today to catch the @TresCleanEU presentation! #laser19 #photonics
