Prof. Claudia Fleck (TU Berlin) visits the Institute of Biomaterials
On 23rd October we received the visit of Prof. Claudia Fleck from the Institute of Materials Science, TU Berlin. Prof. Fleck and Prof. Boccaccini are principal investigators in the DFG funded Research Unit FOR 5657 (BIOAntiFatigue). In this project, members of our Institute (Dr. Irem Unalan, Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini) are investigating, in collaboration with Prof. Fleck, fatigue resistance parameters of fish bone for improved biomimetic design. Prof. Fleck toured the laboratories of our Institute and was shown the two main processing techniques being employed in this project, namely melt electrowriting and electrospinning.
