At the University of Potsdam, ideas and solutions are created that offer great potential for business. It is the task of Potsdam Transfer to identify these results and to apply them economically. In our technology profiles we present application-oriented research and research results and look for partners for their use or joint further development.
Please contact us if you have any questions or ideas for an application. We will be happy to put you in contact with the scientists and support you in further steps.
This bioplastic is the first polymerization of levoglucosenyl methyl ether (LME), derived from sustainable feedstock (cellulose), and developed in the research group of Prof. Helmut Schlaad.
The 13 person strong team of the Biopolymer Analytics group led by Prof apl. Dr. habil Joerg Fettke, is interested in primary metabolism of plants, specially starch metabolism. Starch synthesis and degradation includes several enzymes (>40) and different glycans, sugars, and sugar derivatives. The interplay between all these components as well as the fluxes through the various pathways are of special interest to the group.
The eighteen person strong team of Prof. Dr. Katja Hanack, the Professor of Immunotechnology at the University of Potsdam, is developing innovative technologies in antibody generation. The research team is focused on the development of intelligent and efficient technologies for the generation of antibodies, in particular monoclonal and recombinant antibodies, with the aim of combining them into a unique, efficient and fast antibody producing platform to improve significantly on the standard hybridoma technology. To date, the Group has successfully collaborated with fifteen industrial partners and twelve academic partners throughout Germany.
The research team of Prof. Dr. Regina Hoffmann-Vogel, the Professor of Experimental physics of condensed matter at the University of Potsdam, aims to understand the relationship between atomic and mesocopic structures as well as electronic transport in nanostructures. To investigate these nanostructures, the research team uses atomic force microscopy and Kelvin probe force microscopy to conduct nanometer-scale imaging and measurements. To date, the group has successfully collaborated with several academic and industrial partners throughout Europe.
The research team of Prof. Dr. Regina Hoffmann-Vogel, Professor of Experimental Physics of Condensed Matter at the University of Potsdam, aims to understand the relationship between atomic and mesocopic structures as well as electronic transport in nanostructures. The technique of electromigration is used to create nanometer distance metallic contacts, from which the group seeks to understand these nanostructures as well as further refine the manufacturing processes. To date, the group has successfully collaborated with several academic and industrial partners throughout Europe.
Whether you want to make optimum use of your production facilities, efficiently plan personnel shifts, or support your engineering design process with intelligent tools, the Potassco Solutions project team, led by Prof. Dr. Torsten Schaub, offers you its world-renowned Potassco AI, with which you can solve and optimise a variety of complex tasks in your company. The basis for this is your pre-existing organisational knowledge, such as your technologies, processes and structures. The information is first formally modelled and then processed by the Potassco-AI in such a way that the resulting solutions are comprehensible, practicable and - in case of changes - adaptable.
The research group Functional Materials of Dr Claudia Pacholski aims to fabricate materials with new and exciting properties, that can later be used as optical sensors. The scientists of the group synthesize nanomaterials and investigate their chemistry as well as their optical properties. A special focus is on the preparation and self-assembly of inorganic nanomaterials in combination with polymers.
The team uses various methods and is interested in different areas of application. For example, through the action of energy new nanomaterials or nanostructures with unusual structural, electrical, optical or magnetic properties and functionalities can be generated. These form the basis
for the development of new materials and sensors.
The research group of Prof. Joachim Koetz is dealing with the synthesis of nanoparticles of different shape and size and their application as sensor materials and for the surface- enhanced Raman spectroscopy for the detection of molecules and reaction mechanisms. The important thing here is the separation and isolation of anisotropic nanoparticles (nanotriangles and nanostars) and their surface modification. In addition to the self- organization of gold and magnetite nanoparticles, the research is focused on the insertion of these particles into Janus emulsions. This makes it possible to adjust the droplet size of stimuli-sensitive Janus emulsions, and respectively the pore sizes of the resulting aerogels. The ultralight magnetic aerogels can be used for purifying liquids (dye and oil layer separation).
