Master theses / Diploma theses / Compulsory internship / Volunteer internship

The research project ‘Development of tailor-made peptides for the treatment of polymers before the metallization of plastics’ aims to develop a biomolecule-based system that enables the metallization of high-quality engineering plastics. Using phage surface display technology (PSD), peptides are selected and their binding behavior is characterized using suitable technologies to quantify the surface interaction. Our industrial partner tests suitable peptide sequences in practical polymer coating and metallization experiments.
