TECNOPOLO DI RAVENNA - Parco Scientifico Tecnologico Torricelli, Via Granarolo 62 - Faenza (RA)
L'Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologia dei Materiali Ceramici (ISSMC-CNR) è l'unica struttura di ricerca del CNR, e la più grande operante nel paese, con programmazione poliennale specificamente indirizzata allo studio globale dei materiali ceramici.
Le attività di ISSMC riguardano: ricerca, iniziative di sostegno alla formazione e alla valorizzazione e disseminazione dei risultati. Le attività di ricerca sono indirizzate all'innovazione di materiali e processi in risposta alle emergenti esigenze del comparto industriale, scientifico e culturale, per i vari settori applicativi. Gli argomenti spaziano dallo studio di base, alla caratterizzazione di materie prime e di materiali, allo sviluppo e innovazione di processi di produzione. Scopo degli studi è il controllo di proprietà e prestazioni di dispositivi ceramici tramite il controllo del processo e l'ingegnerizzazione dei materiali per specifiche applicazioni. Attraverso lo sviluppo di nuovi processi, nanotecnologie incluse, vengono ingegnerizzati e sviluppati nuovi materiali e proposte soluzioni per modificare anche prodotti tradizionali e dotarli di nuove funzioni e prestazioni.
I materiali e le competenze offerti fanno riferimento ai settori:
- Applicazioni industriali ad alta tecnologia,
- Aerospazio,
- Funzionalizzazione delle superfici con nanotecnologie ceramiche,
- Biomateriali per la nanomedicina e la rigenerazione dei tessuti,
