CRC 1411 – Design of Particulate Products
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.
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 are 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 a recent collaborative study, CRC 1411 researchers have developed and implemented a comprehensive correlative tomography workflow to investigate complex, hierarchical particulate materials. The study combines 360° electron tomography (ET), nano-computed X-ray tomography (nanoCT), and micro-comput...
How do a small number of larger colloidal particles behave when mixed with many smaller ones inside spherical droplets? We found that entropy alone drives the larger particles to the droplet surface, where they consistently settle at the twelve vertices of an icosahedral structure formed by the smal...
