Wir laden herzlich nach Hamburg zum gemeinsamen Jahrestreffen 2025 der DECHEMA/VDI-Fachgruppen „Mischvorgänge“, „Hochdruckverfahrenstechnik“ und "Mehrphasenströmungen" ein und freuen uns auf Beiträge (Vorträge, Poster; deutsch oder englisch) aus Forschungseinrichtungen, Universitäten und der Industrie zu allen relevanten Themen unserer Fachgruppen. Wir erwarten durch die gemeinsame Veranstaltung interessante Impulse und neue Ideen für die Prozessführung, Modellierung, Auslegung und Maßstabsvergrößerung. Für die einführende (Plenar-)Session bitten wir um Beiträge mit Übersichtscharakter zu den neuesten Anwendungen und wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen aus Industrie und Forschung. Mit Blick auf die drei gemeinsam tagenden Fachgruppen freuen wir uns auch über Beiträge, die Mischprozesse in Mehrphasenströmungen unter hohem Druck beschreiben. Neben Vorträgen und fachlichen Diskussionen im Auditorium bieten Postersessions mit einführenden Kurzvorträgen die Möglichkeit, auch Arbeiten im frühen Entwicklungsstadium vorzustellen. Die besten Poster werden wie immer prämiert. Mehr Informationen finden Sie hier.

Our aerogel-team developed a novel method for the production of transparent cellulose aerogels, which is purely salt induced and allows to tailor the aerogel microstructure to a large extend. The results are now published in Advanced Functional Materials. For details, follow the link. https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.202407547
