PARYLENS is an FP7-funded research project involving 12 partners all across Europe. The Project started in October 2010 and will run for 36 months.
The main goal of PARYLENS project is to develop the next generation optical devices, based on an innovative and reliable concept inspired by natural optical systems such as the human’s and the fly’s eyes.
The project outcome will be:
The fabrication of those devices relies on recent advances in nanotechnology combined with the patented SOLID process, which offers the possibility to grow a stable solid layer directly onto a liquid such that the solid uniformly replicates and encapsulates the liquid template. When using the Parylene polymer as solid layer, the resulting interface is perfectly smooth and the liquid template remains unaffected.
