Osmosis
In surface technology, osmosis is used to introduce substances into the material or remove them from it. During osmosis, molecules migrate through a semi-permeable membrane. This process makes it possible to modify surface properties such as hardness, roughness, adhesion and chemical resistance. Osmosis is used in surface technology in various sectors, including the automotive industry, aerospace and medical technology.
One advantage of osmosis surface technology is its precision and controllability. By specifically influencing the surface properties, materials can be adapted to the specific requirements of an application. This leads to an improvement in the performance and durability of components. Osmosis surface technology is an example of the application of nature-like principles in industry to create innovative solutions for complex challenges.
