Nanochemistry and Nanoengineering
The new Helmholtz-Group of Young Academics from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht Research Centre and from the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel deals with the design and development of multifunctional nanomaterials.
The main aim of the young scientists is to combine the nanotechnology research of the University of Kiel with the research into the area of polymer science of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht Research Centre. The Helmholtz-Groups of Young Academics enable young researchers to carry out independent research at a Helmholtz research centre whilst being networked with a university at the same time.
Based on Prof. Elbahri’s developed procedures, the young scientists use, for example, the Leidenfrost effect to design nanowires and other structures: just applying a drop directly to a substrate can produce the structuring of nanomaterials from almost any material.
Possible fields of application for the new material include, for example, antifouling coatings or intelligent materials. The so-called “smart materials” change their colour, conductivity or magnetic properties due to the impact of external factors, such as light, temperature or voltage.
