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...

Particulate matter or fine dust is the cause of various life-threatening diseases. Our latest article, just accepted in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, describes how nature inspired our design for a regenerative find-dust-catching coating to improve air quality.   Zimmermann T., D...

A joint work between FAU, ISC and our collaborators from the Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca reveals the structure of Zn loaded supraparticles and their application potential in rubbers.   Wenderoth S., Milana P., Zimmermann T., Deues M., Oppmann M., Prieschl J., Mostoni S., Scot...

Dr. Susanne Wintzheimer has received funding in the framework of the „Emerging Talents Initiative“ (FAUeti) and from Dr. Helmut and Herta Schmauser-Stiftung to conduct the research project BioSUPA. Congrats Susanne !

More and more we understand how to influence the structure and texture in spray-dried supraparticles. Our latest article, just accepted in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, describes the influence of cation concentration and valence. Zhou H., Groppe P., Zimmermann T., Wintzheimer S., ...

Our article towards a better understanding of dust accumulation an removal on surfaces, was just accepted. How to keep surfaces clean from dust accumulation is a topic which the Fraunhofer ISC is strongly engaged with.   Zimmermann T., Stauch C., Bittel L., Jüngling N., Muhamettursun M.,...

Karl received an ERC Consolidator Grant to turn matter perceptual using SmartRust. Find more information here (FAU press release) and here (ERC - European Research Council).

Our group will participate in the CRC 1411 (design of particulate products) in the second funding period, which was just granted and will start in January 2024!

On September 8-9 2023, the 10. HybridSensorNet Symposium was held at the ZEISS Innovation Hub in Karlsruhe, Germany. The focus topic of this years’ symposium was “Innovative sensors, distributed sensor systems, new technologies and application fields”. Sarah and Jakob  from The Supraparticle Grou...

Leoni Luthardt has received a doctoral scholarship from the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU) for her Ph.D. thesis on inductively heatable supraparticles and their application in the fields carbon capture and design for recycling. Congrats Leoni !
