Group Leaders: 

• Dr. Frank Clemens     Functional Ceramics
• Prof. Dr. Thomas Graule     Nano Particles and Nano Composites

The focal point of the tasks lies in the interdisciplinary collaboration in the production of functional materials and composites. Developing prototypes of fibres, hollow fibers, foils and tubes is the main focus in the process development for developing novel system components.

Our competence is the synthesis of functional oxide nanoparticles by flame processes, their characterisation and processing. The particles are applied in polymer composites, coatings and ceramic components with the objective to create materials with new properties and therewith the potential für innovative applications and to obtain an added-value for the materials. We perform R&D collaborations in the frame of national and international projects with partners from industry and university. The projects are supported by our broad internal and external network.
