Bioaktive Materialien und Gerüststrukturen

Main resarch areas are bioactive ceramics such as calciumphosphates (e.g. hydroxyapatite) and various types of silicate bioactive glasses and tissue engineering scaffolds made of these materials. This large group of materials has been used clinically to repair bone and bone defects due to their affinity to living human bone. One important goal of the research is the development of bioactive nanostructured scaffolds with enhanced functionalities and therapeutic behaviour for bone and osteochondral tissue engineering.
