Trägermaterials

Trägermaterial is a German term that translates to "carrier material" or "substrate" in English. It refers to a material that serves as a base or support for another substance or component. The primary function of a Trägermaterial is to provide structural integrity, a surface for adhesion, or a medium for diffusion or reaction.

The specific properties and type of Trägermaterial used depend heavily on the application. In the field of coatings and paints, Trägermaterial refers to the surface being coated, such as wood, metal, or plastic. For adhesives, it is the material to which the adhesive is applied. In medical applications, Trägermaterial can be a scaffold for tissue engineering or a component of a drug delivery system.

In electronics, Trägermaterial often refers to the base material on which electronic components are mounted or integrated, like printed circuit boards. Filtration systems utilize Trägermaterial as a porous structure that traps impurities. The concept is also relevant in textiles, where it can be the underlying fabric onto which other materials are applied or woven. Essentially, any situation where one material is supported or carried by another can involve a Trägermaterial.
