12, Materials Engineering/Fiber-Reinforced Composites/Lightweight Design

The research group is closely linked to the Faserinstitut Bremen e.V. (www.faserinstitut.de/en). Research and teaching deal with the material classes of fibers and fiber-reinforced composites, with their special properties and manufacturing technologies. The focus is particularly on technical fibers for engineering applications, lightweight products made from fiber-reinforced polymers and, within the framework of the Airbus endowed professorship, rivet-free assembly technologies for fiber-reinforced composite materials in aircrafts.
