The Institute for Materials Research congratulates Ronja Anton on the successful defense of the dissertation entitled "Integrated design of an environmental barrier coating system for Mo-Si-based alloys by PVD technologies" at the chair of Prof. Jochen Schneider at RWTH Aachen.
For the last four years she worked in the high temperature and functional layers department, where she was mentored by Dr. Nadine Laska and Prof. Uwe Schulz were supervised. Her dissertation was carried out as part of a project funded by the DFG (https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/386184182) in close collaboration with her partners from the Institute for Applied Materials (IAM-WK), the KIT in Karlsruhe and at the University of Siegen. As part of the project, a holistic material system consisting of substrate material with protective layers for novel Mo-Si-based alloys was successfully developed. The material system is intended to potentially be used in aircraft engines at extremely high temperatures.
