Research on shape memory alloys - university represented in important journal
He is thus honored as one of the central figures in this research field. Niendorf: "I am pleased to now be able to put a Kassel stamp on the subject area; the inclusion is clearly a great recognition of the achievements of my research group in this field."
Shape memory materials do not bear their name without reason. Corresponding metals are capable of returning to their original shape as if by magic after deformation; all that is required, for example, is simple heating. In fact, the alloys are so strong that they can affect entire buildings.
Professor Niendorf's group is known for pivotal work in the field, including producing filigree shape memory metals in his labs via 3D printing. Researchers are also approaching metals in traditional ways. With all these special facets, Professor Niendorf's group has now gained such good visibility around the world that there is no way around Kassel for some of the questions raised by this technology.
