Prof. Peter Fratzl, Director of our Biomaterials Department, will contribute his expertise in the science and engineering of biological materials to help inform decision-making and science policy in Germany.
Silica aerogels are among the lightest solid materials and effective insulators thanks to their unique network of pores. X-ray examinations found that bubbles are critical to maintaining the pores during aerogel formation. The emergence of bubbles prevents the material from collapsing and points to low-cost alternative manufacturing methods with varied applications in the construction industry
Team has investigated how the natural properties of native tree bark can be used to create a standardized product for long-term use without the addition of adhesives. They have created bark panels by peeling and drying via hot pressing, which could be used in interior design or furniture and packaging, e.g., through industrial production.
Prof. Dr. Peter Fratzl has been appointed honorary life member by the Chinese Chemical Society (CCS). The CCS describes this nomination as "the highest honor bestowed on the world's most distinguished chemists and materials scientists".
Researchers discovered strong adhesive properties of white-berry mistletoe. Its flexible fibers adhere to both skin and cartilage as well as to various synthetic materials and could find application in many fields, such as wound sealant in biomedicine.
Researchers have discovered new properties of collagen: During the intercalation of minerals in collagen fibers, a contraction tension is generated that is hundreds of times stronger than muscle strength.
On February 3, the virtual inauguration of the first Max Planck Center on the Australian continent will take place. At the MPQC, project teams will explore biological materials known as extracellular matrices.
