Materials Science at TU Darmstadt in NEWSWEEK

“…One of the world's leading institutes for Materials Science is situated at TU Darmstadt. Here, students and researchers are eager to find innovative solutions for the big challenges of our time based on advanced materials. Tackled topics range from novel battery electrodes and photovoltaic absorbers, to artificial leaves for hydrogen production and next-generation magnets for high-efficiency engines or turbines. Beyond the social and environmental impact of the applications, substitution of critical elements and recyclability are further key aspects taken care of. Materials Science in Darmstadt combines fundamental research with applicability – and high-tech with sustainability.”

Structure and Thermodynamics of Silicon Oxycarbide Polymer-Derived Ceramics with and without Mixed-Bonding

Herein, we present a simple and effective method for access to polymer-derived silicon oxycarbide ceramics with or without mixed bonding in their structure. The precursors developed by an aqueous sol–gel method both contain one phenyl substituent per silicon atom as an exclusive source for carbon. The difference between these two polymers is linked to the existence of direct Si–C bonding in the first precursor and the absence of any Si–C bonds in the second precursor, where only Si–O–C bonding types are present. The small, yet significant modification of the molecular structure gives rise to ceramics with different nanodomain structures and properties.

The Erasmus+ Project IN4SOC promotes socio-civic (SOC) internships, where students are given the opportunity to work on personal and corporate social responsibility aspects, while facing real-world challenges, supervised by an academic and an industry expert. In this event, you will discover the outcomes of the IN4SOC project, including experiences and results. Besides, we will promote cooperation among participants.

Mechanical dislocation imprint in ferroelectric ceramics

The technological challenges of the 21st century are closely linked to the developments in electroceramic components. The annual world market for electroceramics reaches €25 billion with an increasing tendency due to the growing demand for capacitors, sensors and actuators.

EU-funded project PASSENGER has started

Sustainable energy supply and clean a-mobility – this is impossible without high performance permanent magnets. They are key components for innovative technologies like electric-drive vehicles, wind turbines, aerospace, medical equipment and various domestic applications. They contain strategic materials like rare earth elements that are not naturally abundant in Europe or even scare worldwide. It is essential for Europe to find a way out of this critical dependence. The project PASSENGER (Pilot Action for Securing a Sustainable European Next Generation of Efficient RE-free magnets) aims at using resources that are widely available in Europe instead of the resource critical materials.
