Kurse

This semester, we will offer the IV "Porous ceramics for catalysis and membrane technology(3ECTS)" without a lab course.

The IV teaches the processing, characterization and application of porous ceramics and membranes. Students are introduced to methods for the synthesis/processing of micro-, meso- and macroporous oxides and carbon materials. Appropriate characterization methods for determining the pore properties are covered and practical application examples for use in catalysis and membrane technology are shown.  

This course covers the fundamentals of all seven Additive Manufacturing (AM) process categories, processing routes and their terminology. The participants will gain a comprehensive overview and understand the strengths and weaknesses of different AM technologies and specific feedstock materials. Furthermore, the students will be given the chance to experience major AM technologies first hand in lab visits and a practical part.

Please do not attempt to self-enrol in this course.

This ISIS course is part of "[SoSe 2025] Introduction to Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing)". Students will be admitted by the lecturer only after self-enrolling into the "[SoSe 2025] Introduction to Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing)" mother course. 

  • The main topic will be the Rietveld-refinement, i.e. the improvement of structure solutions from powder data. Theoretical and practical aspects will be discussed. The students will measure XRD pattern of some samples and refine the data. In addition, further aspects of powder diffraction like structure parameters determination, phase analysis, texture determination, crystallite size determination, preferred orientation analysis and residual stress measurement will be treated.
  • The course is a block course for one week and it will take place from 25.08 and 29.08.25 at 10:00-14:00 in BA 316. For more information and registrations, please contact Dr. Bekheet (bekheet@tu-berlin.de)
