Center Smart Materials and Adaptive Systems CeSMAThe developments in the field of innovative materials, optical, sensor, and actuator components are targeted at specific sectors and topics where thermal and mechanical requirements are of particular importance. The main topics are:
- Technical monitoring: Examples include structural monitoring and predictive maintenance, as well as safety-related aspects that are important for collaboration between humans and machines.
- E-Textiles: The integration of intelligent components in technical fabrics or clothing creates special requirements and solution approaches, particularly in assembly and joining technology when using structurally elastic materials as substrates.
- Medical technologies: Smart measurement systems that help to monitor the health and vitality parameters of patients not only require a high level of reliability, but must also be designed in such a way that they have a high level of user acceptance. In addition to medical technology, these solutions can also be used in the sports sector.
- Consumer electronics: In consumer electronics, people interact with the entertainment medium through various input and output technologies. CeSMA develops solutions for displays, HMI, controllers and researches materials for high-frequency applications in order to achieve new data transmission standards (6G).
