CRC 1411 – Design of Particulate Products
The key objective and long-term vision of Collaborative Research Centre 1411 is the targeted design of particulate products by rigorous optimisation based on predictive structure-property and process-structure functions. Particulate products, as considered in this CRC, consist in the simplest case of dispersed single particles and in more complex cases of hierarchically organised assemblies of particles in the form of supraparticles, thin films or stationary phases for chromatographic separation. We target scientific breakthroughs in the product engineering of nanoparticles with optimised optical properties produced by continuous synthesis directly coupled to property-specific classification of nanoparticles by chromatography. These challenges will be addressed from different perspectives in four strongly interlinked research areas. These will be underpinned by the development of joint methodologies in synthesis, classification, characterisation as well as modelling, simulation, and optimisation.
In November 2021, Professor and PI Nicolas Vogel of the Institute of Particle Technology was awarded the “Lehrpreis der technischen Fakultät” (Teaching award of the Faculty of Engineering). According to the selection committee, the awards reflects the excellent student evaluations of the courses giv... Continue
Every two years the doors of academic institutions, public offices and industry in the Nuremberg-Fürth-Erlangen metropolitan area swing open for one evening only for the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften (literally "Long Night of Science and Learning") event. It's an opportunity for everyone living in ... Continue
From 4-6 October 2021, the Erlangen-based Collaborative Research Centre 1411 organised an international online workshop on continuous particle synthesis and product design. Continuous particle synthesis is of key importance for the understanding and scalable fabrication of complex particulate produc... Continue
After 16 months of online seminars, workshops, project meetings and even poster sessions, from 19-21 July 2021 researchers of CRC 1411 gathered for the largest in person event since the kick-off meeting. As a follow-up to the successful online review meeting in June 2021, a poster session was held i... Continue
The Erlangen Collaborative Research Centre 1411 on “Design of Particulate Products” and the EFCE Section on “Product Design and Engineering” jointly organise a satellite session on “Future Directions in Product Design and Engineering” as part of the 13th European Congress of Chemical Engineering (sa...
