Soil contaminated with harmful perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) is difficult to clean, a complete remediation is often not possible. To improve the remediation process, researchers at the ÍþÄá˹¶Ä²©ÓÎÏ·_ÍþÄá˹¶Ä²©app-¡¾¹ÙÍø¡¿ of Augsburg are trialling various cleaning methods. Their work is now being financially supported by the Bavarian Research Foundation.

Researchers at the Institute for Materials Resource Management have developed a method to repair ceramic matrix composite components. Up until now, it was not possible to repair such matrix composites. The project ¡°R4CMC ¨C Repair Concepts for Reduced Rates of Virgin and Overhauled CMC¡± was funded by the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy.

Over the next three years, the Bavarian research alliance ¡°Intelligent Manufacturing Processes & Closed-Loop Production¡± (FORinFPRO) will be researching fundamental concepts for process-specific sensor and condition monitoring, as well as the data-based modelling, control, and optimisation of manufacturing processes. The project has been funded by the Bayerische Forschungsstiftung to the tune of around €2 million. Tobias Gotthardt, Bavarian State Secretary for Economic Affairs, Regional Development, and Energy, handed over the confirmation of funding today.
