The group has invested many efforts in acquiring proper equipment to carry out its research, in particular for material fabrication and property evaluation (mechanical, thermal conductivity).
Hence, we have :
freeze dryer, rheometer, viscosimeter, ultrasonicators, rotovapor, ball miller, robocasting (direct ink writing), 3D printer for polymers, extruder.
flame spraying from powders and wires with Accuraspray diagnosis system for determining temperature and velocity of in-fly particles, air-brush for slurries.
hot press, controlled atmosphere furnace, high vacuum joining furnace.
automated precision cutting machines, CF4/O2 plasma etcher.
instrumented microindentation, universal testing machine for compression tests,rugosimeter, infrared camera.
The group has wide expertise in the following ICV facilities: Spark plasma sintering, Thermal diffusivity by laser flash method, Thermal conductivity by MTPS/TPS, Tribometer and Scratch Testing.
