Overview

Wolfgang W. Schmahl is affiliated with Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Germany. Their research focuses primarily on materials science, particularly in the areas of biomaterials and engineering. The scope of their work bridges multiple subfields including biomedical engineering, paleontology, materials chemistry, and ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

Their scientific contributions are primarily situated in the study of calcium carbonate crystallization and inhibition, which is the main topic of a large portion of their publications. Other prominent research topics include paleontology and stratigraphy of fossils, bone tissue engineering materials, cephalopods and marine biology, geology and paleoclimatology research, marine biology and environmental chemistry, and corrosion behavior and inhibition.

Wolfgang W. Schmahl has published frequently in several scientific journals, with a notable presence in:

  • Crystal Growth & Design
  • Crystals
  • Journal of Structural Biology
  • Scientific Reports
  • American Mineralogist

Recent publications by Schmahl include:

  • Orientation patterns of aragonitic crossed-lamellar, fibrous prismatic and myostracal microstructures of modern Glycymeris shells (2020) in Journal of Structural Biology
  • Sponges as bioindicators for microparticulate pollutants? (2020) in Environmental Pollution
  • Crystallization of struvite in a hydrothermal solution with and without calcium and carbonate ions (2020) in Chemosphere
  • Directing Effect of Bacterial Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) on Calcite Organization and EPS-Carbonate Composite Aggregate Formation (2020) in Crystal Growth & Design
  • Calcite crystal orientation patterns in the bilayers of laminated shells of benthic rotaliid foraminifera (2021) in Journal of Structural Biology

The scientist collaborates often with a group of frequent co-authors, including Erika Griesshaber, António Checa, Athanasius Priharyoto Bayuseno, Yustina M. Pusparizkita, and J. Jamari. The volume of collaborations with some of these co-authors reaches over 40 joint works, outlining a consistent cooperative research environment.
