Department Marine Structures and Nanomaterials
The oceans are home to a variety of highly complex, optimized structures for various applications. The Department of Marine Structures and Nanomaterials deals with the study of these structures and their transfer into technical applications.
Lightweight constructions
The well-grounded knowledge of biomechanical and structural properties of complex marine micro- and nano-structures provides the basis for new products, lightweight constructions and composite materials, which are gaining importance both in automotive and aeronautical industry.
Safety features
In addition, the highly specific and complex structures are used as 3D-objects for the development of unique safety features for products and brands with the help of a biotechnology selection and modification process.
