In a new article, we present the latest advances in our H2 indicator supraparticles technology. We demonstrate that their scalable, toolbox-like manufacturing via spray drying provides multiple options to customize their composition, structure, and texture for improving their detection performance. ...

In this article, we report on a facile way to produce Janus supraparticles using spray-drying. Zhou H., Prieschl J., Groppe P., Mandel K., Wintzheimer S. One-step fabrication of platelet-shaped Janus supraparticles via spray-drying In: Powder Technology (2024), just accepted

Andreas Zink was voted by the participants of the Spray-drying Symposium 2024 as one of the two winners of a poster prize - Congratulations Andi!

Sebastian Kolb completed his Master of Science degree in Chemistry at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg in 2024. During his Master’s studies in the group of Prof. Mandel he focused on structure formation and energy transfer studies in supraparticles composed of dye-doped silica na...

Prof. Dr. Karl Mandel has been appointed as Vice Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC Würzburg. Find out more, here.

Measuring the exact thermal history from the inside of materials undergoing high temperature events is almost impossible. In our latest article, just accepted in Advanced Functional Materials, we present integrable magnetic supraparticles as particulate additives that are capable of recording elapse...

Asya Drenkova-Tuhtan and her team with an in-depth analysis on our phosphate adsorber / water purification materials.   Drenkova-Tuhtan A., Sihtmäe M., Uke K., Vija H., Oppmann M., Prieschl J., Mandel K., Kahru A. Assessing the ecotoxicity of various metal oxide/ hydroxide nanocomposites...

The confined space within micrometer-sized, multi-hierarchical hybrid organic-inorganic supraparticles provides an attractive microenvironment to achieve functional material properties via the synergistic interplay of nanoparticles and molecules. We just got an article accepted, in which we demonstr...
