Sustainable Aerogels

Global Cooperation Initiated
Launch ceremony of the Hebei International Joint Innovation Center for Aerogels in presence of international guests and aerogel experts. TUHH is represented by the president, Prof. Timm-Giel, and Vice-president for Research, Prof. Smirnova.

In the Chinese province of Hebei, the Hebei International Joint Innovation Center for Aerogels was opened on July 1st as part of the ‘International Academic-Industrial Exchange Workshop’. Both were initiated and supported by IBIH Advanced Materials.

TUHH is participating in this international collaboration together with several universities and enterprises, all sharing a vision to accelerate aerogel production, with a particular focus on environmental aspects and the circular economy.

TUHH contributes its profound expertise in aerogel research through the Institute of Thermal Separation Processes (Prof. Smirnova) and the mission of the recently inaugurated CampusLab “Circular Economy” (UNU Hub Engineering to Face Climate Change).

Within this global perspective, cooperation with IBIH — one of the leading aerogel production companies in China — particularly enables the further commercialization of new and sustainable aerogel materials.
