Functional Materials for Health and Environment

This theme builds on the team’s work in innovative materials, focusing on functionalities aimed at improving health through structure and shaping.

Examples:

  • Surface Microstructuring: Supports for muscle model fabrication from stem cells
(a) Guiding microstructures in hybrid materials, (b) Overall fiber growth results, (c) Fiber maturation results
  • Optofluidic Sensors: Silica aerogel-based sensors for detecting ultra-low concentrations of drug molecules
Integrated optomicrofluidic system with aerogel channel
Sensor principle: guiding fluid and light
