The Institute for Materials Science and Engineering focuses on the material behavior of multiscale materials. Since the appointment of Prof. Dr. Wolfram in October 2023, this now also includes the material behavior of biological tissues and organs, with a focus on mineralized material architectures. These materials include mineral-reinforced biopolymers, bioceramics, bioglasses, and their composites. To investigate the properties of such materials, we employ a combination of innovative experiments, numerical methods, and mathematical models, ranging from the molecular to the macroscopic scale.

An overview of the services we currently offer can be found below. However, upon request, we can also provide individual assistance with problems and damage cases in the materials engineering field. Additionally, custom measurements on the machines and systems depicted can be conducted at our facility by arrangement.
