CRC 1411- Design of Particulate Products
The key objective and long-term vision of Collaborative Research Centre 1411 is the targeted design of particulate products by rigorous optimisation based on predictive structure-property and process-structure functions.
We target scientific breakthroughs in the product engineering of nanoparticles with optimised optical properties produced by continuous synthesis directly coupled to property-specific classification of nanoparticles by chromatography. These challenges are addressed from different perspectives in four strongly interlinked research areas. These will be underpinned by the development of joint methodologies in synthesis, classification, characterisation as well as modelling, simulation, and optimisation.

Scientists have long known that the shape of tiny crystals (nanocrystals) can affect their properties, such as how they interact with light or how well they function as catalysts. However, precisely understanding how these shapes form has been challenging, since many factors are involved: temperatur...

In October 2024, the iRTG-ParSciTech of CRC 1411 hosted its inaugural Summer School at the Fraunhofer Forschungscampus in Waischenfeld, situated in the picturesque Fränkische Schweiz an hour away from Erlangen. Held from October 14 to 17, the event brought the CRC doctoral researchers together for t...
My name is Laura Adilova. I have just started my “Advanced Materials and Processes” (MAP) master’s program at FAU. My choice of the university was based on FAU’s strong reputation in engineering and materials science, along with its emphasis on interdisciplinary research. MAP program combines everyt...
