Metal foams for thermal, catalysis, and battery applications

apheros provides metal foam cooling solutions. We have a patent-pending, easily scalable manufacturing route for metal foams with unique cooling properties. Our foams have excellent wicking and bubble transport properties, they are mechanically stable and pleasing to touch - not a given for metal foams. They also have a large thermal conductivity and are easy to process. Our first product is a copper foam heat sink which is optimal for passive cooling applications where it significantly outperforms current solutions both in terms of cooling performance as well as ecological impact due to our low-waste production method.

Out metal foams have also found interest as electrodes and catalysts because of their incredibly large surface area (100x what can be found on the market today).

ESA BIC Switzerland

Together with partners, ESA BIC Switzerland is the place for entrepreneurs with a link to space technologies in order to realise their innovative ideas and transfer technologies from space to other areas of the economy. So, that doesn't mean rocket science, but applies to multiple application fields such as navigation and positioning, communications techniques, Earth observation, materials, processes, signals or robotics. So let's see how much space is hidden in your innovative business idea! The ESA Business Incubation Centre Switzerland (ESA BIC Switzerland) is a nationwide initiative that will officially open in Q4 2016 and is managed by ETH Zurich, in collaboration with IFJ, Impact Hub Zurich and AP Swiss.
