• Detection and investigation of spatial micro-damage (cavitation, crack propagation) in statically or cyclically loaded polymers/elastomers with high-resolution in-situ X-ray imaging (in-situ µCT/SRµCT)
• Research on the degradation behavior of polymer materials from thermal shaping or additive manufacturing under various modeled environmental conditions

Current Project

• Tissue engineering of an anterior cruciate ligament plastic on the basis of absorbable, embroidered carriers: Development of a hybrid structure consisting of a biomechanical, a biointegrative and a vital unit (cooperation partner within DFG Project)
