Process Engineering

This special field revolves around processes for modifying material properties (milling, cooling), composition (filtration, distillation) and type (oxidation, hydration).

Valuable information is available on a broad range of technologies including material separation, laser processes, measuring techniques and robot engineering in addition to testing methods and coating and materials analysis processes.

Innovative lubricants revolutionize the cold forming of metals

Lubricants for wire drawing based on polymers. Metals can be processed into wires by cold forming – an extremely complex process. However, the lubricants needed for this often do not…

Making efficient use of the Sun’s power

BMBF awards funding for junior research group at Friedrich Schiller University Jena to research photocatalytic production of green hydrogen. Hydrogen holds vast potential as a fuel, provided that it is…

3D printing technology for tissue

Bayreuth researchers combine hydrogels and fibres in a new technology. Prof. Dr Leonid Ionov and his team at the University of Bayreuth have developed a new type of 3D printing…

Structural color ink: Printable, non-iridescent and lightweight

A new way of creating color uses the scattering of light of specific wavelengths around tiny, almost perfectly round silicon crystals. This Kobe University development enables non-fading structural colors that…

Catalytic combo converts CO2 to solid carbon nanofibers

Tandem electrocatalytic-thermocatalytic conversion could help offset emissions of potent greenhouse gas by locking carbon away in a useful material. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory…

Capturing greenhouse gases with the help of light

If we want to slow down global warming, we need to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Among other things, we need to do without fossil fuels and use more energy-​​efficient…
