Plenary Lecture by Peter Greil (University of Erlangen-Nuernberg)
Tuesday, September 27th, 2016, 10:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m., Audimax, TU Darmstadt
Inspired by biological concepts of design, microstructure, and property optimization, new biomorphous inorganic materials with advanced functions and structures have attained increasing interest in materials science at the frontier between biology and chemistry.
Mimicking the cellular design of natural plant tissue anatomy offers a highly attractive approach for creating a novel class of biomorphous ceramics for functional and engineering applications. Basic principles of conversion of plant derived preforms into oxide and non-oxide ceramics mimicking the initial template structure at various hierarchical micro- and macroscopic levels will be presented. The fabrication of multilayer ceramics from cellulose based precursor offers a high flexibility of shaping including advanced generative manufacturing combined with surface modification via printing technologies. Future concepts refer to intrinsic crack healing capability which may trigger change of ceramic component design and application. Examples of applications in the fields of optical sensors, biomedical bone implant, or catalysis will be demonstrated.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
