Satisfying the increased demand for materials with enhanced performance requires constant improvement in the properties of the existing materials. In this regard, very often, composite materials and coatings provide superior characteristics which are tunable to fit the requirements of specific appli...

Oil/water interfaces are omnipresent in our life. You can find them at the surface of cell membranes, in dairy and other food products, as well as in technological fields such as oil refinery and pharmaceutics. Single and double emulsions are also emerging as means for smart drug delivery in which t...

Nature is full of surprises and over >million years of evolution living organisms have found the absolute best ways of survival. In this work, Saman and his colleagues examined the mechano-bactericidal properties of wing surfaces of two different Psalmocharias cicada species, using AFM, SEM, a...

The Institute of Particle Technology successfully placed two projects within the new priority program „Creation of Synergies in Tailor-made Mixtures of Heterogeneous Powders: Hetero Aggregations of Particulate Systems and Their Properties” (SPP 2289). The program is funded by the German Research ...

On Tuesday (03.08.2021) Herbert completed his PhD on "Process and Product Development of Functional Supraparticles for Biomedical Additive Manufacturing",  becoming the second PhD graduate from the Vogel Lab. We wish him success in his future endeavor.

High energy density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are essential parts of our modern society. Nevertheless, the instability of the anode and the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) in LIBs impediments the application of Si anodes in LIBs. In this work, Saman Hosseinpour and his colleagues from Sichuan ...

Saman Hosseinpour published a research paper in collaboration with scientists from Bielefeld University, Aalto University, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, and University of Vienna in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. Have you ever wondered what happens when Calcite (a dominant...

Vanessa Lautenbach, Saman Hosseinpour, and Wolfgang Peukert published an article "Isoelectric point of proteins at hydrophobic interfaces" in Frontiers in Chemistry. Read more here: Frontiers | Isoelectric point of proteins at hydrophobic interfaces | Chemistry (frontiersin.org)

We are delighted to report that Prof. Doris Segets, former LFG researcher and group leader, has been awarded the DECHEMA Prize 2020 and the Gottschalk-Diederich Baedeker Prize 2021. Prof. Segets studied Chemical and Biological Engineering at the FAU, completed her doctorate at LFG in 2013 and led th...
