3D Printing of Salt as a Template for Magnesium with Structured Porosity

In a recent Adv. Mater. publication, researchers at the Laboratory of Metal Physics and Technology (LMPT) and Complex Materials have documented the creation of ordered porous Mg scaffolds via 3D NaCl printing (and sintering), Mg melt infiltration, and subsequent salt removal by leaching. These set the premise for a unique combination of tunable mechanical properties and the potential of being deployed as biodegradable implant, as the scaffold can be tuned to predictably biodegrade in the human body.

Transparent, Strong, and Tough Bioinspired Composites

By engineering the microstructure of a glass composite, researchers from the Complex Materials group in D-MATL have designed the first transparent platelet-reinforced composite that combines high strength with slow and stable crack propagation.

Tuning Dispersity by Photo-Induced ATRP: Monomodal Distributions with ppm Copper Concentration

Researchers from the group of Polymeric Materials in D-MATL have developed a simple methodology to tune the dispersity of polymers without compromising the end-group fidelity of the resulting materials. Both the number average (Mn) and the weight average (Mw) distribution can be efficiently controlled, thus paving the way for applications in both academia and industry.

MaP Graduate Symposium 2019

The 14th edition of the MaP Graduate Symposium took place on 03 July 2019 at ETH Zentrum. The Department of Materials was very successfully represented this year with various high-class talks and poster presentations. It is therefore not surprising that many of the awards were given to members of the D-MATL.
