Which materials are suitable for a good rain jacket, and how is this linked to the structure of their surface? What can we learn from nature when developing new products?
In this workshop, we dive into the world of the super small, where tiny structures create big and sometimes unexpected effects. In a playful way, participants explore how different materials react to water.
Through experimenting, observing and comparing with natural surfaces, we uncover the secret of water-repellent materials. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides spectacular insights into the everyday invisible world of nanostructures.
The workshop concludes with a fascinating look at the beauty of the world of nanotechnologies, reminding us that nature is the best inventor.
The workshop is offered in German only.
