NanoCraft

NanoCraft Coating GmbH is a specialized development laboratory established in 2001 as a spin-off from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces. The company focuses on research, development, and analytical services in the fields of nanotechnology, biotechnology, and surface technology. Its core capabilities include the development of innovative, custom-engineered coating systems—such as anti-corrosive and anti-microbial solutions—and the provision of advanced nanoanalytics. A central element of their technology is the patented chemical force microscopy (CFM), which enables chemically sensitive imaging of surfaces down to the molecular level, allowing the company to analyze topography, material rigidity, and intermolecular interaction forces simultaneously.

The company supports a wide range of industries, including electronics, semiconductors, medical technology, jewelry, and metal processing, by providing application-oriented research and technical consulting. By combining interdisciplinary scientific expertise with advanced microscopic technologies, NanoCraft assists partners in solving complex surface challenges, such as improving durability, hydrophobicity, or scratch resistance. Their services are utilized by various mid-sized and large international companies for commissioned research, analytical measurement, and the development of specialized coating products that can be integrated into production processes or applied directly to materials.
