What you always wanted to know about porous ceramics... As part of the series Fascination Ceramics of the German Ceramic Society (https://www.dkg.de), Dr. Tobias Fey gave a lecture on "Porous Ceramics - Fabrication, Characterization and Simulation" on Feb. 17, 2022. The talk is available at (h...

Kevin Rieß successfully defended his doctoral thesis on "Defect-modulated Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Sodium Bismuth Titanate". His research was focused on understanding the influence of A-site non-stoichiometry on electromechanical properties in Bi-based lead-free ferroelectrics, where ...

Biominerals – shells, teeth, or even bones – are ceramics generated by organisms whose function and resilience have been evolutionarily optimized over millions of years. In contrast to conventional, synthetic ceramics, these biological ceramics often exhibit very complex and well-controlled crystall...

The article “In situ combined stress- and temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy of Li-doped (Na,K)NbO3” by Dr. Neamul Khansur and an international team of co-authors from Germany, Japan, and China was recently selected as one of the best papers of 2021 for the Journal of the American Ceramic Soci...

The back cover to our publication " Deformation Behavior of 2D Composite Cellular Lattices of Ceramic Building Blocks and Epoxy Resin" in Advanced Engineering Materials (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/adem.202100536) in collaboration with our colleagues at NiTech Institute of Techn...

In his talk about ‚Porous Alumina Ceramics with Multimodal Pore Size Distributions‘ he discussed his research group’s previous paper. Abstract: Pore networks with multimodal pore size distributions combining advantages from isotropic and anisotropic shaped pores of different sizes are highly attr...

Mr. Mingjie Wang from College of Materials Science & Technology at Beijing Forestry University joined the group of cellar ceramics of Dr. Tobias Fey and starts research on cellular wood aerogels.

We congratulate Michael Beck on the successful defense of his doctoral dissertation entitled "Optical properties of film cast single and multilayer transparent YAG and spinel ceramics" on February 2, 2022. Mr. Beck carried out his PhD project in our institute under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Andre...

Prof. Daisuke Urushihara, Assistant Professor at the Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan, has joined the Functional Ceramics Research Group of the Institute of Glass and Ceramics for a 6-month research visit as part of the International Research and Training Group (GRK2495) "Energy Conversion Syst...

Prof. Ali Hussain, Associate Professor at the Department of Materials Science & Engineering, Institute of Space technology, Pakistan, joined the Functional Ceramics Research Group at the Institute of Glass and Ceramics as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow for an 18 month research stay. He will be...
