Research

Application of stimuli-responsive gels for autonomous reactor control: Experimental and theoretical analysis

Stimuli-responsive gels are widely known in the field of intelligent materials. Depending on environmental changes, these gels undergo configurational changes. The gels can swell or collapse due to the occurring trigger. This special characteristic as well as the possible utilization of 3-D printing methods for customized shaped gels offer a wide range of potential applications. The overall goal of this project is the application of smart gels in different separation processes to provide self-regulating features and reach autonomous reactor control.
