Institute of Materials Science and Engineering

The institute is an amalgamation of all materials-oriented Groups of the TU Ilmenau, which was founded in 1997 and currently consists of the following nine departments.

Special emphasis is placed on innovative approaches for the improvement of existing materials. Just as the development of new materials, material composites and processing procedures, the design of new material concepts with special consideration of layers and nanostructured materials is the task of the institute. Another focus is on complex materials analysis with methods using X-rays, analytical electron microscopy, mechanical and electrical methods.

More detailed information on teaching, competences and research can be found on the websites of our groups.
