Materials Tribology / Materialien unter tribologischer Belastung

The group focuses on materials science aspects of materials under a tribological load.
Our main research topics are:
- The elementary mechanisms for microstructural and chemical changes
- The materials science origins of friction and wear
- Size effects
- Contact mechanics
- Bio-inspired materials and structures
- Laser surface texturing
- Data Science in tribology
In order to be able to answer these questions:
- We develop and build our own equipment and instrumentation, e.g. an extremely high resolution in situ reciprocating tribometer
- Make use of ultra-high resolution electron and ion microscopy, including 3D reconstruction techniques
- Morphologically texture surfaces by means of laser radiation
- Employ modern x-ray techniques, including from synchrotron sources
- Collaborate with scientists on an international basis
With this unique combination of scientific expertise and analytical tools we aim at strategically tayloring materials and microstructures for lower friction and less wear.
We always have very attractive topics available for bachelor and master theses, so please do contact us in case you are interested in joining the group!
