Ceramic materials offer education by combining the basic understanding of all materials to deeper expertise in advanced ceramic materials.
Research focus and goals
The main research interests include ceramics processing from powder synthesis to colloidal monitoring of suspensions to ceramic 3D printing. Special focus is on sustainable processing of functional surfaces with supercritical carbon dioxide processing.
Applications expand from adhesion layers to antimicrobial and photoactive surfaces. Mechanical properties of engineering ceramics and corrosion behaviour of ceramics are studied and developed to industrial applications.
Advanced ceramic materials research group has on strong background on natural sciences with exploitation of know-how very closely to industry. Research group has very good international connections.
