Process and Chemical Engineering is one of the three central research divisions of the IWT Foundation Institute of Material Science and is led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Lutz Mädler in combination with the Particle and Process Engineering group at the University of Bremen. The division is centered around the synthesis, processing, modeling and characterization of particles in the gas phase. The main areas of research and teaching focus on reactive and non-reactive spraying and deposition processes (flame spray pyrolysis, spray forming, powder production, spray cooling), simulation and optimization of multiphase phenomena as well as process and particle characterization using electromagnetic waves. These core capabilities are reflected in the research activities of the following four groups:

| Head: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Lutz Mädler

Design of spraying systems

Integrated aerosol processing

In-situ synthesis of highly porous structures for sensing and catalytic applications

Synthesis of nanoparticles and functional surfaces

Design of nanomaterials for bio-interactions

overview

| Head: Dr.-Ing. Thomas Wriedt

Soot Characterization

Total internal reflection microscopy (TIRM)

Characterization of the erythrocyte using light scattering

Scattering by complex particles using a multiple scattering approach

Fast multipole method(FMM) to accelerate the discrete sources method (DSM)

T-Matrix Method for biaxially anisothropic particles

New light scattering portal for the light scattering community

overview

| Head: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Udo Fritsching

Description of dispersed Multiphase Flow including Heat- and Mass-Transfer

Analysis of Jet- and Spray-Processes

Investigation of Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in materials processing and engineering

Gas/Particle-interaction in Disperse Systems

Multiphase Flow on and in porous structures

Quench- und Cooling-Processes

overview

| Head: Dr.-Ing. Volker Uhlenwinkel

Process analysis and development

Integrative spray processes

Particle characterization

New alloys and metal matrix composites

Coatings and layered materials

Functully graded materials

Process simulation and modelling

overview

Beside research activities of the main division Chemical and Process Engineering there is a close relationship by a cooperation agreement with the University of Bremen. Prof. Dr.- Ing. habil. Lutz Mädler is full faculty in the field Particle and Process Engineering (FG 1) in the department of Production Engineering of the University Bremen and is the director of the main division ‘Process and Chemical Engineering’. This close personnel and institutionally interdependence is anexcellent precondition for theoretical and application-oriented education of thestudents benefiting the transition in praxis.
