Materials Sciences

Materials management deals with the research, development, manufacturing and processing of raw and industrial materials. Key aspects here are biological and medical issues, which play an increasingly important role in this field.

innovations-report offers in-depth articles related to the development and application of materials and the structure and properties of new materials.

Lasers, levitation and machine learning make better heat-resistant materials

Argonne scientists across several disciplines have combined forces to create a new process for testing and predicting the effects of high temperatures on refractory oxides. Cast iron melts at around 1,200 degrees…

Fire-resistant and bio-based fiber-reinforced composites for structural lightweight design in ships

As lightweight construction materials, fiber-reinforced polymers have the potential to improve the ecological footprint of ships. If the fibers and plastic matrix are based on renewable raw materials, the ecological…

Scientists find a way to make pultrusion faster

A research team from the Skoltech Center for Design, Manufacturing and Materials (CDMM) studied the effects of processing additives – aluminum hydroxide and zinc stearate – on the polymerization kinetics…

Materials Research Says Yes to Wood

Researchers at TU Graz develop green alternatives to fossil raw materials. Bio-based materials are expected to reduce pollution and drive the shift to a more sustainable economy. As a renewable…

Just a few atoms thick: New functional materials developed

Using the smallest “construction set” in the world, a research team from the universities of Marburg, Giessen and Paderborn is designing new materials for computer chips, light-emitting diodes and solar…

Researchers develop new metal-free, recyclable polypeptide battery

– that degrades on demand … This could result in battery production moving away from strategic elements like cobalt. The introduction of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries has revolutionized technology as a…
