Self-regenerating Functional Surfaces – Towards a Technology Platform for New Materials and DevicesProjektbeschreibung:Self-regenerating materials are intriguing. If critical properties of a failing material or device could be easily restored, this would significantly extend its life time. In this proposal, we describe our vision of a technology platform for the self-regeneration of surface properties. Functional surfaces fail due to damage or contamination. Instead of trying to make “better” functional materials, we here propose a fundamental change in the design of such materials. We want to make a material that can shed its entire contaminated or defective layer, like a reptile shedding its skin, and present a clean, functional one.Projektlaufzeit: Projektbeginn: 01.05.2015Projektleitung: Lienkamp KKooperationspartner Prof. Dr. Ali Al-AhmadFinanzierung:
