Macromolecular Chemistry in Marburg exposed since Wintersemester 2012/2013
The work groups Prof. Dr. Wendorff and Prof. Dr. Greiner of the Department of Chemistry and Center of Material Science develop new functional materials on basis of nanoscaled polymer and composite fibers. Research is focused on the following production methods, products and applications:
Electrospinning of long polymer, metal, ceramic and composite nanofibers.
Particular attention is drawn to
following applications:
- medicine (tissue engineering, inhalation therapy, wound dressing)
- filtration (porosity, efficiency)
- biomimetic filtration of marine gels
- catalysis (homogeneous and heterogeneous)
- textiles (antibacterial)
- crop protection (pheromone release)
- fuel cell
