For the targeted modification of existing materials and for the biofunctionalization of medical devices, the NMI develops, manufactures and tests novel biomaterials and customized coatings.

Development of coating processes:

• Regulation of the degradation behavior of material and/or coating
• Development of collagen-based biomaterials for tissue engineering
• Development of analytical strategies for characterization of bio- and nanomaterials
• Chemical syntheses/modification of (bio)polymers
• Qualitative and quantitative methods for characterization of surfaces and polymers of medical devices

Projects:

• LAA-Okkluder- Development of a novel atrial appendage closure system for stroke prophylaxis
• ASD-Okkluder- Development of a bioresorbable occluder for the treatment of atrial septal defects
• RNA-Stent- RNA stent coated coronary stents to prevent restenosis
• SuPerB- Stable, environmentally friendly perovskite solar cells thanks to barrier and bonding layers
• Pyrobeads
