R & D

We are involved in several R&D projects already and wish to expand our R&D activity additionally. We are primarily interested in partnership within energy technologies and lead-free electroceramics, but are also open for other market segments with need of advanced ceramic materials.

EU FP7 projects:

EFFIRPO (2009-2012): EFFIcient and robust fuel cell with novel ceramic PROton conducting electrolyte.

DEMCAMER (2010-2013): DEsign and Manufacturing of CAtalytic MEmbranes Reactors by developing new nano-architectured catalytic and selective membrane materials.

METPROCELL (2011-2014): Innovative fabrication routes and materials for METal and anode supported PROton conducting fuel CELLs.
