Dutch Polymer Institute (DPI)
DPI
is a foundation funded by industry, universities and government, which
was set up to perform exploratory research in the area of polymer
materials. DPI operates at the interface between universities and
industry, linking the scientific skills of university research groups
to industrial need for innovation. DPI performs pre-competitive
research projects to add value to the scientific community through
scientific publications, and to the industrial community through the
creation of intellectual property. DPI provides a unique platform for
new technology awareness in which participating industrial companies,
commercial competitors in the market place, communicate on a
pre-competitive basis to trigger innovation. DPI integrates the
scientific disciplines and know-how of universities into the chain of
knowledge to optimise the conditions for making breakthrough inventions
and triggering industrial innovation.
As a member of the DPI,
Microdrop Technologies participates in the technology area of high
throughput experimentation / combinatorial materials research. In this
complex research area of automated formulation and synthesis, the
handling and printing of the synthesized liquids plays an important
role. The investigation of inkjet technology for printing and coating
of such materials is a significant task. In this co-operation, R &
D efforts have an extremely positive impact on all markets,
applications and products of Microdrop’s technology.
