Highest level of materials expertise
The institute focuses on general materials science topics such as:
- material development and optimisation
- material analysis and testing
- failure analysis
- material-specific optimisation of manufacturing processes such as heat treatment, deburring, coating, forming technology, etc.
- planning of material-specific manufacturing process chains.
In the field of medical technology, the following thematic priorities are addressed
- Biomedical materials
- Instrument and implant development
- Process development
- Testing techniques
The following research projects are part of the Internal link opens in the same window:CoHMed Innovation and Transfer Partnership.
Breast tissue marker research project
In collaboration with physicians and industry, this project is conducting research into an innovative and biocompatible tumor localisation system based on polymer composite materials. The aim of this project is to develop a marker that can be reliably detected in the body using radiology and sonography over a long period of time. This novel procedure eliminates the need for invasive wire marking on the day of surgery and thus represents a step forward in improving the quality and precision of surgical procedures in the treatment of breast cancer.
SmartMed research project
3D printing composite materials
Wear-resistant coatings
Functionalisation of the workpiece surfaces of clamping tools through the smart production and application of pasty composite material based on nanodimensioned carbide powder
Funding programme: Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (ZIM)
Funding body: Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK)
Project management agency: AiF Projekt GmbH
