Researchers at Sirris demonstrate for first time femtosecond laser texturing of soft biopolymer coatings as a high-throughput method for surface patterning.

Innovation in manufacturing plays a key role in reducing the industry’s environmental impact. Recent advances in non-classical manufacturing technologies, such as ultrashort pulsed laser manufacturing, open doors to new opportunities, reconciling cost considerations and environmental impact. Sirris ...

In recent years, considerable attention in surface engineering research has been directed towards superhydrophobic surfaces - surfaces that exhibit extremely high resistance to wetting by water. In this context, new technologies such as femtosecond laser texturing have opened up the possibility to ...

In the dynamic world of technology, where new ideas and innovations drive progress, safeguarding and strategically using those ideas can be a game-changer for businesses. Think of your innovations as valuable assets: how you protect and utilise them through Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and ...

In the ever-evolving landscape of business, safeguarding your intellectual property rights (IPR) is essential for innovation, growth, and sustainability. Have you been wondering about the IPR your business owns or how to enhance their value? The Prediagnostic Service for Intellectual Property ...

On 5 December 2023, a new, joint lecture from the European Patent Academy and the EUIPO Academy shines a light on why intellectual property (IP) is important to protecting your (green-tech) business.

Are you an entrepreneur or a company developing new products, brands or innovations and are you looking for answers to your intellectual property questions, both commercial and legal? After a first successful edition in spring, Sirris and Agoria are organising a second Intellectual Property ...

'Corrosion under insulation' (CUI) is one of the most common and most difficult to manage forms of corrosion in the process and chemical industry, with corresponding costs and safety risks. To support research aimed at better management of CUI, in its CorrosieLABS [Corrosion & Insulation Practice ...

Coca-Cola, Mc Donald's, Google, ... some of the world’s most successful companies realised a long time ago already, that there is immense value in keeping certain intellectual assets confidential, and that by protecting their confidentiality, they could maintain a competitive advantage on the market ...

Until recently, Sirris used multi-scale texturing to make surfaces water-repellent. This technique creates superhydrophobic surfaces but is quite time-consuming. That is why we looked for a different solution: the results we obtained with LIPPS ('Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures') are ...
