Degassing of Epoxy Resin before Curing News

Microdul AG in Switzerland is a recognised expert in the miniaturisation of electronic circuits, especially for medical technology. The company uses a Memmert vacuum drying oven VO 400 for degassing epoxy resins as standard equipment in the manufacture of electronic modules, in order to remove voids before curing.

Manufacturing process for electronic modules The example module, about 2.5 cm in diameter and only 1.4 mm thick, contains seven integrated circuits (microchips) as the main components. The electronic module is intended as a medical device for human implantation and therefore must fulfil the

Curing silicone and adhesives of Cochlea implants News

The Austrian company MED-EL is one of the world's technology leaders in the field of hearing implant systems. In 2014, MED-EL was awarded, among others, the Austrian National Innovation Prize. They use more than 80 Memmert heating ovens in their production to cure silicones and adhesives. Thanks to the excellent service of Memmert partner GML-Fischerlehner + Kucera GmbH in Innsbruck, the appliances have been running reliably and problem-free for many years.

Wonders of technology: The cochlea implant There are events in life which, for those who experience them, are little short of a miracle. Take, for example, being able to hear the voices and sounds around you once again after having been hearing impaired or deaf for many years. A hearing implant,

The vacuum oven at the Chair for Polymer Materials News

The Chair for Polymer Materials at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, uses the vacuum oven for drying, curing, degassing and polymerisation. From jewellery to semiconductors: our world is polymer. They have become an indispensable part of our daily lives, and polymers have even found their way into the art world.

Research for the cars of tomorrow News

TUfast e.V. is a student association at the Technical University of Munich. The association builds its own cars and has enjoyed regular success in race series such as Formula Student or Shell Eco-Marathon. The CFRP body parts undergo curing in a Memmert heating oven in a vacuum under heat.

In theory, the eLi14 electric car built by students at the Technical University of Munich can travel 10,957.02 km on the equivalent energy of a single litre of premium-grade petrol. This achievement earned the students both a world record for the most energy-efficient car and an entry in the Guinnes

Fabricating magnetoresponsive lamellar surfaces News

Learn about a new laser-based method for creating structured magnetic actuation and emission (MAE) surfaces with a high aspect ratio with Memmert universal oven

Magnetoactive elastomers (MAEs) are hybrid materials consisting of micrometre-sized ferromagnetic particles embedded in a polymer matrix that can change their physical properties by exposure to a magnetic field. They have many potential applications such as control of surface wettability, adhesion a
