We design, process and characterize ceramic based composites for innovative and challenging structural and functional applications. Projects are the center of attention, in which

• ceramic-ceramic composites (CMC),
• micro and macro layered structures (laminates),
• polymer derived ceramic composites (PDC),
• coatings,
• graded materials (FGM) and
• ceramics joined to metals

are required. We develop new and optimize state of the art production routes and transfer know-how and technologies to industry.
