Research priorities

Energy-saving generation of dispersed property-distributed systems and materials (e.g., nanoparticles or porous membranes),
Physical, chemical and/or biological product design (e.g., active ingredient synthesis, structured and functionalized surfaces),
Development of sustainable and resource-conserving material and energy conversion processes (for example, biotechnology, wind turbines, fuel cells, gasification),
Avoiding health- and climate-damaging emissions (e.g., fine dust, NOx, SO2, CO2),
Process development for efficient material and energy utilization of renewable resources,
Economically efficient recycling of secondary raw materials and waste (recycling)
Computer-aided design and operation of complex processing systems and process engineering plants
Design of complex material cycles and a sustainable "green" material economy
