Controlling Fluid Resistances at Membranes (ConFluReM)
Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2021,
Today’s materials research in the field of synthetic membranes gives access to highly permeable and extremely selective membranes. However, their potential will remain ineffective as high and selective transport rates always go along with resistances emerging at the membrane fluid interface in the form diffusion limitations in the laminary boundary layers. In order to make full use of the very man ...

Light Actuated Self-Pulsing Mircogels (Jellyclock)
Start date: Aug 1, 2016, End date: Jul 31, 2020,
Living organisms teach us how to design material structures that can move autonomously. Such motility is not restricted to animated organisms but can also originate from local differences t expansion coefficients in ligneous compounds. This challenges the design of micro-objects that can perform mechanical work and undergo locomotion. Irrespective of the specific material, three fundamental tasks ...

Injectable anisotropic microgel-in-hydrogel matrices for spinal cord repair (ANISOGEL)
Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 29, 2020,
This project will engineer an injectable biomaterial that forms an anisotropic microheterogeneous structure in vivo. Injectable hydrogels enable a minimal invasive in situ generation of matrices for the regeneration of tissues and organs, but currently lack structural organization and unidirectional orientation. The anisotropic, injectable hydrogels to be developed will mimic local extracellular m ...

Engineering responsive and biomimetic hydrogels for biomedical therapeutic and diagnostic applications (BIOGEL)
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
BIOGEL is set up to educate young scientists to develop innovative hydrogel chemistries and systems for biomedical applications. The first objective is to provide a platform for young researchers to undergo a well-rounded PhD education, particularly focussed on translational skills for a career focused in biomedical research and medical technology development. The second objective is to engineer f ...

Integration of emerging soft nanotechnology into the functionalisation of textiles (NANOBOND)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
One key area of the European textile industry is the technical development of products and processes for reducing contamination and the removal of stains of all kinds from manufactured articles, including textiles. To a large part this is necessary for keeping up performance and function, often for health reasons, although sometimes this is for purely aesthetic effects. Thus, easy-to-clean, soil r ...
