Research priorities

How to React on the Challenges to 2020

  • 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
