VProSaar Distributed production for the Saarland automotive industry: The ongoing structural change (due to decarbonization, electrification, etc.) in the automotive sector will inevitably lead to the adaptation of existing but also to the development of completely new innovative products and services. In order to maintain competitiveness and consolidate the position of production facilities (in this case mainly SMEs), it is necessary to...
DECMAS – Dielectric Elastomer Membranes for Cooperative Micro-Actuator/Sensor Concepts The DECMAS project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and is part of the DFG Priority Programme SPP 2206 KOMMMA. Novel, miniaturized and cooperative dielectric actuator concepts are being researched. The project is a collaboration of the Chair of Intelligent Material Systems under the direction of Prof. Seelecke from the University of...
Smart Implants 2.0 – Development of a novel sensor actuator FrakturversorgungsplatteProblemstellungEven today there are, individually different, sometimes significant disorders of bone and soft tissue healing. These healing disorders have serious consequences for the individual patient (pain, revision surgery, significantly extended treatment times) and represent a significant health economic burden (treatment and, if necessary, pension costs, resource consumption, incapacity for work, etc.). Individual factors play a...
Mini EAP - miniaturisation of electroactive polymer systems for sensor and actuator applications The ERDF-funded project investigates the miniaturisation of dielectric elastomers in the millimetre range. Both metal-carbon, sandwich-like thin films for the production of electrodes and new types of applications are being researched. The project is a collaboration of the Chair of Intelligent Material Systems...
BEAT - Bass loudspeaker with dielectric elastomer actuator drive In the by means of the European Regional Development Fund (in short: The ERDF-funded project investigates the use of dielectric elastomers as a drive for bass speakers. Both the dynamic behavior of DE membranes, their control and the necessary electronics are investigated. In the project, the Stamer...
FGAkt - Development of novel shape memory actuators for use in injection moulding tools In cooperation with several partners, the BMBF-funded project identifies potential actuator applications in injection moulding plants through the use of which they can be designed more efficiently and in order to exploit previously untapped technological potentials. To this end, the corresponding actuators are to be made "smarter" and more energy-efficient in order to...
