巴斯夫欲投2600万新加坡建纳米技术中心
世界上最大的化学制品公司巴斯夫（BASF）公司在亚洲建立了其第一个纳米技术研究中心，该中心位于新加坡的科学园区。巴斯夫公司计划在未来的三年时间里给这一新的纳米技术研究中心注入2600万美元的研发资金，这笔经费相当于其投到全球纳米技术领域支出的十分之一。

在该纳米技术研究中心的奠基仪式上，巴斯夫公司表示，其在亚洲地区有很多的消费者。因此巴斯夫公司打算在这一地区扩大自己的业务。巴斯夫公司执行委员会董事成员马丁－布鲁德姆勒说：“今天我们为公司在全球生产和市场服务领域新加了一个支柱，这个支柱就是今天我们在这里奠基的研究中心。创新将是吸引那些对创新产品有潜在需要的客户的一个重要支柱。新加坡本身就是许多公司总部的所在地，在这里我们可以和其他公司进行更好的沟通。”

巴斯夫公司称，选中新加坡作为该公司纳米技术研究的基地是因为新加坡的人才准入机制，有能提供相关支持的研究机构，以及该国对知识产权的保护政策。公司决定在年底将研究人员的数量由现有的9人增加到20人。同时，巴斯夫公司还同新加坡经济发展委员会进行沟通希望能扩大自己的研究领域，包括对太阳能电池的研究。a8}gF~^zl5BU-q
巴斯夫公司执行研究室主任斯蒂范－马辛瑙斯基说：“我们目前已经计划扩大这个研究中心，并进入光电池研究活动领域，这也将是新加坡的这个研究中心第二步进行的方向。”巴斯夫公司表示，纳米技术是那些成长产业创新的基础，如建筑、电子和能源领域。

在新加坡的这个新的实验室（研究中心）将首先着眼于调整涂料或涂层结构的研究，这可以帮助使那些船只的外壳保持干净，并帮助节省燃料花费。巴斯夫公司说，这些纳米技术成果还将被应用于其他产业，包括造纸业，粘合剂以及建筑材料。巴斯夫公司已经指定从现在到2008年在全球范围内将有3.5亿新加坡元用于纳米技术研究的领域。

BASF today opened its first research center for nanotechnology in Asia. The new center in Singapore involves a Euro$ 13 million expenditure up to 2008, and will employ 20 staff, mainly scientists and technicians. BASF already operates 17 development sites in Asia Pacific, but this is the first time the company is carrying out research dedicated only to nanotechnology in the region. Vo|8U$z0nso

“This is a bold step for BASF – a step geared to helping us realize our ambitious goals in nanotechnology,” said Dr. Stefan Marcinowski, member of BASF’s Board of Executive Directors and Research Executive Director. “The new center will allow us to work more closely with highly respected research institutions in Asia and to attract top talent, enabling us to better serve our customers in the region.”

Marcinowski stressed that BASF would play an active role in Singapore’s outstanding research community through this new facility, while sharpening its current focus on the so-called ‘growth cluster’ nanotechnology. “We plan to spend around Euro$180 million in nanotechnology research worldwide between 2006 and 2008,” he added.FQ@-II a'x]

Mr. Teo Ming Kian, Chairman of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), said: “We are delighted that BASF has selected Singapore to be a key node of their global R&D strategy. This is in line with EDB’s aim to move Singapore from simply being a place to implement technology efficiently, to one where we also create first-of-its-kind technology and know-how. The EDB warmly welcomes the opening of BASF’s Competence Center for Nanostructured Surfaces. It is a shining endorsement of the capabilities, infrastructure and intellectual property protection in Singapore.”

Dr. Martin Brudermüller, member of the Board of Executive Directors of BASF and responsible for Asia Pacific, said, “This center will help us better pick up new emerging technology trends. It allows us to strengthen our ties with innovative, technology-driven customers in Asia and open up new market opportunities. As part of our global research network, this center will also exchange know-how, competencies and innovative solutions with other research centers in our global network, for example, in Europe and the United States.”

The Competence Center for Nanostructured Surfaces in Singapore will concentrate on nanostructured surface modification that could, for example, offer a solution to the problem of biofouling. Biofouling on ship hulls and other marine surfaces is an issue with both environmental and economic relevance. Although no alternatives to the use of biocides are available at present, developments in nanotechnology could offer an innovative and environmentally friendly solution. The objective of the project is to understand the mechanism of organism buildup on surfaces in seawater and to develop biocide-free nanostructured coatings that minimize the physical adhesion of marine organisms to surfaces.

BASF aims to concentrate major technology-driven issues of particular relevance to the future in growth clusters: energy management, raw material change, nanotechnology, plant biotechnology and white biotechnology. These cross-sectional technologies are outside the realm of the classical disciplines and can only be brought to fruition by interdisciplinary and international cooperation. Between 2006 and 2008, a total of Euro$800 million will be allocated for the research activities pursued within the five growth clusters. BASF’s expenditures for research and development is projected to increase to Euro$1,150 million in 2006, representing about 18 percent or Euro$180 million more than in 2004.
