Free-standing membranes can span over openings of up to several 100 micrometers. • Upon annealing, CNMs can be converted into graphene. This transformation opens an original and flexible molecular route towards the large-scale synthesis of graphene sheets with tunable electrical and mechanical properties. Speaker Biography (Albert Schnieders)Dr. Albert Schnieders is co-founder and managing director of CNM Technologies, a high-tech company, which produces extremely thin, functionalized carbon nanomembranes (CNMs) and develops together with its customers innovative applications of CNMs in a diverse field of industries. Albert earned his degree in physics at the University of Münster, Germany. After working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Universities of Utah and Delaware, he joined the US subsidiary of the scientific instrument manufacturer ION-TOF as an application scientist. In 2005 he became general manager of Tascon USA, a contract laboratory specializing in chemical surface analysis. Albert left both companies and the USA end of 2011 to start CNM Technologies. Company Profile (CNM Technologies GmbH) CNM Technologies GmbH is a spin-off company of the University of Bielefeld in Germany. Its core competence is in the development and production of extremely thin functionalized carbon nanomembranes (CNMs), a material similar to plastic films but only 1 nanometer in thickness. CNM Technologies is the project partner that combines know-how in sciences with professionalism in project management to open up new areas of applications of CNMs with excellent market potential. CNM Technologies provides its customers in research and development with premium-quality products to support their cutting-edge research.
