About us

The areas of experties of DS can be listed as follows:

  • Design, manufacturing and characterization of load bearing implants, i.e. pins, screws, plates, dowels
  • Development of new processing technologies, e.g. organic solvent
  • Free processing of polymers
  • Morphological and chemical changes of properties during processing, see also Testing
  • In vitro-degradation testing of degradable implants at 37°C or at elevated temperatures
  • Influence of sterilization procedures on degradable implants
  • Creep / relaxation behavior of amorphous polymer implants
  • Assessment of recrystallization of PLA/PGA during degradation
  • Influence of process parameters on implant properties
  • Studies on pH-neutral degradation of PLA/PGA by inclusion of inorganic fillers
  • Manufacturing and characterization of open porous scaffolds for tissue engineering
  • Fiber manufacturing and textile processing
