PI Prof. Vogel and his team introduce research topics of the group. We see how biological functionalities such as the self-cleaning surfaces of plants or the shining colors of animals can be reproduced in the lab by controlling the structure of materials using self-assembly processes.

Product design is the formation, formulation, handling, manufacturing and characterization of complex multiphase products across all length scales from molecules to particles and complex materials and devices. The applications define the required product properties which cover both classical fields ...

Regular seminars to present and discuss progress in CRC 1411 research are an essential measure to maintain the quality control of projects and to provide support and mentoring for the young researchers involved. Therefore, the integrated Research Training Group in Particle Science and Technology (iR...

CRC 1411 involves researchers from a wide range of backgrounds spanning the engineering and physical sciences and mathematics. Success of the consortium will rely on close cooperation between researchers working on the participating projects. To lay a foundation for this and to foster a common inter...
