Collaborative Research Centre 1415

The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1415 "Chemistry of Synthetic Two-Dimensional Materials" focuses on the controlled "bottom-up" synthesis and development of novel synthetic two-dimensional materials (2DMs) with high structural definition at the atomic or molecular level. This is complemented by in-situ and ex-situ spectroscopic, microscopic and diffractive characterization of 2DMs. Furthermore, theoretical methods and models make an essential contribution to the prediction of the formation of 2DMs and their physical/chemical properties. 

The CRC is composed of 23 scientific projects,  with in total 22 prinicpal investigators, an Integrated Research Training Group as well as an centralized administration project. Five independent research institutions contribute to the research initiative:

• Technische Universität Dresden
• Technische Universität München
• Universität Ulm
• Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden e.V.
• Leibniz-Institut für Festkörper- und Werkstoffforschung Dresden
• Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf.

The CRC is granted by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft from 07/2020 to 06/2024.
