The Biological Materials Group of Professor Jörg Müssig is a group of highly motivated people with different backgrounds working on topics all around bioinspired and biomimetic composites and the value-added chain of natural fibres.
We offer a broad field of competencies in research and development. Our activities are part of regional, national and international networks.
The Biological Materials Group focuses on bio-inspired, biomimetic and bio-based materials and the value chain of natural fibres and fibre-reinforced composites. We investigate structure-property relationships of biological structures and manufacturedmaterials to develop sustainable products.
We offer:
We, therefore, have a broad range of equipment available, including:
Characterisation of fibres (bending and tensile properties, fibre fineness and fibre length)
Characterisation of composites, polymers and biological materials (tensile, bending, compression and torsion tests, impact test, fibre content, HDT and MFI)
Investigation of the fibre/matrix adhesion (pull-out, microbond and fragmentation test, interlaminar shear strength)
Microscopy techniques in combination with image analysis
Composite production methods (winding, pultrusion, compression moulding, vacuum infusion)
Compound development and 3D printing
The Biological Materials Group of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Müssig is a team of highly motivated people with diverse backgrounds who are engaged in topics related to sustainable materials, bioinspired and biomimetic composite materials, and the value chain of natural fibres.
If you are interested in joining our interdisciplinary team for PhD projects, B.Sc. or M.Sc. theses, please send us your application including curriculum vitae and research interests. We are always looking for new team members.
The Biological Materials Group co-operates with national and international partners, a selection of which is presented below:
