As science is not always discussed best in an office or laboratory, the Supraparticle Group took off for a retreat close to Pottenstein to meet our colleagues from the Particle Technology Group from the Fraunhofer ISC and to discuss science while enjoying the local hikes and Schäuffele. Many talk...

Nice collaboration and great where our magnetic particles finally end up. Tischer F., Cholew S., Groppe P., Granath T., Düsenberg B., Mandel K., Drummer D., Bück A., Peukert W., Schmidt J. Magnetic polyamide 11 powder for the powder bed fusion process by liquid-liquid phase separation and crysta...

In our latest work, we demonstrate how combining magnetic and luminescent supraparticles with a flexible polymer yields multifunctional composites for automatable induction heating with subsequent temperature verification. Reichstein J., Raczka T., Stauch C., Schug B., Müssig S., Mandel K., Mult...

Congrats to Franzi for finishing her PhD journey with a successfull defense. Her work on "Luminescent supraparticles with adjustable ID functionality" started at the Fraunhofer ISC in Würzburg in 2019. She was part of the first PhDs to set up the laboratories at FAU in 2020. We wish her good luc...

We are happy to welcome our new group member Tero. Tero Kämäräinen obtained his M.Sc. in Micro- and Nanotechnology in 2014 and D.Sc. in Bioproduct Technology in 2020 from Aalto University in Finland, during which he conducted experimental and computational work related to bio-based (nano)material...

In this new article, we present dual-gasochromic supraparticles that enable the visual detection of hazardous H2 gas and NH3 vapors via gas specific color change reactions. Moreover, this work shows the capability of synthetically tailoring the reaction environment within the solid-liquid-gas interf...

Last week we officially started the work within the ERC consolidator grant "Smart Rust" (Magnetic memory supraparticles for perceptual matter; ERC COG 101123921 – SmartRust), which will keep us busy for the next 5 years. Besides some organizational matters, plenty of brainstorming and a lab tour ...

Massive effort to publish this indepth study on how structure in supraparticles affects catalytic activity. Small just accepted our article after a long way.   Groppe P., Reichstein J., Carl S., Cuadrado Collados C., Niebuur B., Zhang K., Apeleo Zubiri B., Libuda J. Kraus K. Retzer T. Tho...

Great work lead by the Crisp Group! Dehm K., Zanetti A., Fett B., Mauritz V., Hamburger R., Langford D., Guldi D., Young E.,  Mandel K. Crisp R. Alteration of the Optoelectronic Properties of CuInS2 Quantum Dots via Colloidal Annealing In: Chrystal Growth & Design (2024), just accepted

Another article was accepted in which we report on the influence of agglomeration and with that the influence on magnetic interactions among nanoparticles with regard to the inductive heatability of magnetic nanocomposites. Raczka T., Wolf A., Reichstein J., Stauch C., Schug B., Müssig S., Mandel...
