• PP 1181: Nanoscaled Inorganic Materials by Molecular Design: New Materials for Adcanced Technologies

  The aim of the priority programme is to develop concepts for the production of novel multifunctional inorganic materials with a tailor-made nanoscaled structure.
  
  

• PP 1191: Ionic Liquids

  This priority programme is dedicated to improving understanding of the special nature of ionic liquids through fundamental research. Therefore, the main goal of the programme is the detailed investigation of the interactions between the components of an ionic liquid (ions and ion clusters), on the one hand, and of the nature of interactions between ionic liquids and dissolved substances or between ionic liquids and interphases, on the other.
  
  

• PP 1253: Optimization with Partial Differential Equations

  The aim of this DFG-Priority Program is thus to combine numerical analysis of PDEs and optimization governed by prototype applications so that the most recent activities in the fields are merged and further explored, and new analytic and algorithmic paradigms will be developed, implemented, and, ultimately, validated in the context of real-world applications.
  
  

• PP 1459: Graphene

  Graphene - the strictly two-dimensional, honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms - is a two-dimensional electron gas system (2DEG) with unique and promising electronic properties.
  
  

• PP 1468: Osteoimmunology (IMMUNOBONE)

  Osteoimmunology is an emerging field combining immunology and musculoskeletal research. The IMMUNOBONE program is intended to develop this new field of research and to decipher key molecular, cellular and clinical mechanisms in the interplay between these two organ systems.
  
  

• PP 1594: Topological Engineering of ultrastrong glasses

  The researchers’ goal is to investigate the fundamental structural, chemical and topological causes of mechanical characteristics in non-crystal materials and from this to arrive at strategies for the development of ultrastrong glasses. It is hoped this work will form the basis for a large number of new applications, from flexible displays and solar modules to ultrastrong telecommunications fibres, composite materials and architectural elements.
