Publications

R&D and active participation in research projects are core activities at CerPoTech. This leads to continuous optimisation of our products, as well as development of new products. With reliable supply from day one, our project partners and customers can develop pilot series and launch new products in record time.

CerPoTech is or has already been involved in seven different projects funded under EUs FP-7 and EUs H2020, as well as several national projects, mainly focused towards energy technologies such as solid oxide fuel cells, gas separation membranes and gas reforming. We are looking to expand our R&D activity and are primarily interested in partnership within energy technologies and lead-free electroceramics, but are also open for other market segments with the need of advanced ceramic materials.
