Key research areas
We conduct advanced scientific research and implement innovative R&D projects in the fields of materials engineering, chemical technology, ceramics, nanotechnology, and materials science.
Our research teams focus on developing and advancing new materials and technologies for various industries. We work across all eight stages of the material “life cycle”:
- Design
- Manufacturing (various technologies)
- Modification (e.g., surface treatment)
- Characterization (composition, structure, microstructure, etc.)
- Property assessment (physicochemical properties)
- Testing (application-oriented)
- Application
- Disposal/Recycling
This is made possible by our state-of-the-art research infrastructure, the high expertise and experience of our staff, and our well-established national and international collaborations in both academia and industry.
We invite you to collaborate with our faculty in scientific and industrial partnerships, where innovation and a pioneering approach to materials science are the foundation of our research activities. The key research area of Faculty are as follows:
- Traditional and advanced ceramics, refractory materials
- Construction materials
- Glass and amorphous coatings
- Biomaterials
- Composites, polymers, and carbon materials
- Analytical chemistry and biochemistry
- Physicochemistry and process modeling
- Inorganic chemistry, including solid-state photo- and electrochemistry
- Silicate chemistry and macromolecular compounds
- Functional materials
- Materials for energy conversion
