Tasks and Objectives

The Research Center for Materials, Architectures and Integration of Nanomembranes (MAIN) is a Central Scientific Institution at Chemnitz University of Technology. Its research activities are part of the core competence “Materials and intelligent systems” at Chemnitz University of Technology and are dedicated to exploratory research into the basic physical and chemical properties and the development of the engineering application potential of flexible nanostructured membranes ('nanomembranes'). They build a bridge between basic research and applied research. The Research Center and its 18 members from the faculties of natural sciences as well as electrical engineering and information technology make a significant contribution to shaping nanomembrane research as one of the most modern fields of materials science and promote the international and national visibility of Chemnitz University of Technology in this area. Based on the researched sensory and actuator applications, fruitful impulses for and high synergies with the core competencies “Human and Technology” as well as “Resource-Efficient Production and Lightweight Construction” of Chemnitz University of Technology can be expected.
