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.
In the aerospace and fast transport sectors there is a growing demand for advanced structural materials capable of withstanding temperatures over 1500 °C in highly corrosive environments. Rocket nozzles and thermal protection systems for spacecraft...
DTM has developed a filling valve to allow gas, liquid or fuel filling for extra high purity and high pressure applications. Main characteristics are high robustness environemntal conditions and reliability together with very low leak-rates and...
Design, development and qualification of heat exchangers for aerospace application or for other industrial fields where very high reliability and functioning in harsh environment is required. These technologies allow to cool, heat and in general...
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...
Transparent ceramic materials are fundamental as sources of laser radiation, especially for high efficiencies and emission in the infrared wavelenghts (typically in the region of 1010 to 1080 nm). The transparent ceramic material that has reached the...
Processes for the production of ceramic-based articles with controlled porosity in terms of volume, morphology, size, interconnection, 3D distribution. ISTEC manufactures ceramic or hybrid architectures with functional porosity (multidimensional from...
