Chair of Chemical Technology of Materials Synthesis

Research

The Chair of Chemical Technology of Material Synthesis (LCTM) conducts the development and characterisation of functional materials.

The following main research areas are currently represented at the LCTM by three working groups: AK Unterlass, AK Kurth, and AK Staab:

Biomaterials (ISC), electrochromics, materials testing, aluminium materials, battery materials, silicate chemistry and supramolecular chemistry, colloid chemistry and wet-chemical nanotechnology.

 

Here you find details on the research of the individual working groups:
