Welcome to the Powder Technology Laboratory

In this range of activities, LTP is dealing with the development and functionalisation of nanoparticles for a) drug and gene delivery, b) self assembling of nanoparticles to achieve unique surface structures with controlled porosity and (bio)-functionality and c) the creation of three dimensional building blocks for further processing, including sintered products.

LTP has as its goals the understanding at a fundamental level these various steps with a view to improving the processing routes for materials of technological importance and to contribute in the development of new and intelligent materials. The high quality of particles in regard to narrow size distribution, form factors, functions etc. is guaranteed by the high level of characterisation methods for particles in the nano and micro range which is part of the R&D activity. The activities of LTP are carried out in the form of projects translating the fundamental knowledge into the many different areas of application.

LTP is also an academic partner of the Education & Research Unit « Surface, Coatings & Particles Engineering » of the Competence Centre for Materials Science and Technology CCMX.
