Smart Materials
Language: English | Location: Enschede
Modern man-made materials such as plastics and composites have become an integral part of our daily lives. Sustainability plays an increasingly important role in the development of new materials.
For example, biological raw materials or recycling of materials are being considered.
Within the projects in this Learning Community we focus on new, smart materials.
Which materials are suitable for a particular application? And how do you process these new materials with modern production techniques such as 3d printing?
Materials research is a broad field and developing the materials of the future requires expertise from many different disciplines.
For example, how can we use textile materials for biomedical applications such as an artificial heart? What are the functional building materials of the future, made from biological raw materials? And how can lightweight composite materials be recycled and used in new products?
We will work on these together!
