Welcome to the website of the Integrated Ceramic-based Materials Systems research group
The Integrated Ceramic-based Materials Systems research group is an interdisciplinary research group at the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) in Germany. Our main research interest lies in the tailoring and precise functionalization of interfaces of porous ceramics and metal-ceramic hybrids for relevant applications, building a bridge between materials science and manufacturing engineering with three main research trusts: (Nano)structured materials, Sinter-based functional materials, and Functionalization of powders and porous components by ALD and MLD. Our main focus is the understanding of the fundamental structure-processing-properties’ relationships, aiming at enabling the control of interfaces and microstructures to tailor materials’ properties. Here, we differentiate between “bulk phase or design properties” and “(nano)structuring-driven properties”, where nanoscale size effects and interfaces, as well as their structuring within 3D porous materials, play a fundamental role.
