Technologies for large-scale production

The team worked on the technology for large-scale production of penicillin. Commercial quantities were available before the end of World War II and saved millions of lives, especially soldiers wounded in the war.

The main preparation method for fused silica stiU involves melting technology, but a few other methods are used that involve sol-gel or related routes [2]. For fibers and coatings, sol-gel technology has become more and more important [3-5]. For dispersed materials, pyrolytic and precipitation processes are the dominating technologies for large-scale production [6—7]. To adapt these types of silica to a variety of special applications, various types of chemical smface modifications have been...

It is indeed intriguing and very attractive to think of photovoltaic elements based on thin plastic films with low cost but large areas, cut from rolls and deployed on permanent structures and surfaces. In order to fulfil these requirements, cheap production technologies for large scale coating must be applied to a low cost material class. Polymer photovoltaic cells hold the potential of such low cost cells. Flexible chemical tailoring of desired properties, combined with the cheap technology already well developed for all kinds of plastic thin film applications, precisely fulfill the above-formulated demands for cheap photovoltaic device production. The mechanical flexibility of plastic materials is welcome for all photovoltaic applications onto curved surfaces in indoor as well as outdoor applications.
