A collection of case histories of successful collaborations between High Technology Network Laboratories and businesses. These are tangible and customisable examples of the application of new technologies, products, or services that show how industrial research can meet the needs of innovation.
This custom GSE (Ground Support Equipment) was designed to replicate space conditions on ground (vacuum and temperature gradients) and test selected space hardware for satellites performing also electrical and optical measurements.
The YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia) coating was developed for titanium abutments in dental prostheses to enhance aesthetics and reduce potential allergic reactions. Applied through reactive magnetron sputtering deposition via the PVD-PECVD Centurion...
Geopolymers are synthetic inorganic polymers based on aluminosilicates or phosphates and chemically bonded at T <300 ° C. This technology enables the production of materials with properties of certain ceramic materials with the same approach of...
This devices are miniaturized sensors able to provide extremely accurate pressure measurements. They are plane capacitors with parallel plates, whose capacitance has a non-linear dependence with the pressure. They can be implemented in applications...
The mechanical characterization leads to define the limits of use of a material for a specific application, identifying its mechanical properties. This activity is performed as an essential part of the development of new processes and materials, and...
