The professorships of the Department of Materials Engineering conduct research on a wide variety of materials. On this page they present a selection of current research activites from the department. Further research projects are presented by the professorships on their websites. An overview of the research activities at the Department of Materials Engineering is available in the TUM Research Information System (TUMFIS).
In this project, we will create microcapsules from biopolymers in such a manner, that we can not only control the morphology of the capsules during the microfluidic production process but that we are…
The surface of a material is of fundamental importance, because it determines its function and properties for the respective application regarding a potential interaction with its environment.…
Whereas biofouling-induced infections have already been identified as a major complication associated with endotracheal intubation, the effects of mechanical tissue damage caused by the in- and…
In this project we aim at deciphering the molecular mechanisms responsible for the selective barrier properties of mucin gels. This will be achieved by combining molecular penetration experiments with…
Ziel dieses Projektes ist es, in vitro die mikroskopischen Prinzipien der Filterwirkung von zwei biologischen Hydrogelsystemen zu untersuchen: den Glaskörper des Auges und Gele aus Neurofilamenten.…
