++PhD defense++ We are thrilled to announce that Maximilian Stummer has successfully defended his PhD thesis titled "Enabling dissimilar joints by use of local Zn-interlayers" on June 14, 2024 under the supervison of Norbert Enzinger Reviewer: Peter Mayr, Chairman: Prof. Thomas Hochrainer Congratulations!

On June 6, 2024, the Institute of Materials Science, Forming and Joining, hosted a compelling presentation by Prof. Leonardo Bresciani Canto from the Universidade Federal de São Carlos - UFSCar Oficial titled "Injection Overmolded Lightweight Polymer-Metal Hybrid Structures." moderated by Sergio T. Amancio Filho. Prof. Canto shared his extensive research on how this joining technique can manufacture lightweight, high-strength, polymer-metal hybrid structures. The talk highlighted the potential applications in various industries, including automotive, aerospace and biomedical, where reducing weight without compromising strength is crucial.
