Cluster of Excellence in Bone Ceramic & Bioassay

We develop concepts and ideas to transfer innovative developments of bioceramics and biocomposites into economically sustainable processes and applications. We see ourselves as your partners for solving problems in materials processing for medical technology but of course, everything strictly confidential.

Our competence:
Material development: Calcium phosphate based bioceramics /biocomposites.
Material processing: Wet precipitation synthesis, dry solid-state reaction of calcium phosphates, thermally induced phase separation for bioceramics /biopolymer composites.
Shaping: Porous blocks using microwave heating, slip casting, granulation using spray dryer, coating using plasma spray, biphasic granules using hydrothermal treatment.
Material characterization and analysis: Powder characterization, thermal analysis, phase and chemical composition analysis, morphological analysis, mechanical testing, porosity and density, bioactivity, cytotoxicity assay and bioburden.
