Glass and Ceramics

(Prof. Dr. Peter Greil)

Research is focused on fundamental aspects of novel processing techniques and on microstructure-property correlations. Advanced glasses, ceramics, and composites are being investigated for applications in medicine, in energy and environmental fields, in electronics, and in transportation systems.

In the field of ceramic processing (Peter Greil) research centres on high precision manufacturing of ceramics and metal composites via Rapid Prototyping techniques and Polymer Precursor techniques. In the field of functional ceramics (Andreas Roosen) major activities are directed on ceramic multilayer technology including LTCC. Research in the field of glass (Lothar Wondraczek) includes physical properties of special glasses, microstructured optical glasses, and microbial corrosion of glasses.
