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.
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...
Niobium carbide (NbC) has long been employed to produce bulk hardmetals, e.g. for cutting tools, but practically it has not been investigated as coatings. This contribution provides an overview of our research with NbC-based coatings with Ni- and Fe...
The main objective of TECNOLATER was setting up a pilot laboratory at Sacmi's facilities, for the study and the development of flexible technologies to produce new construction materials. A research structure was set up to study innovative brick...
Among the various technological units the building system consists of, the roof features shows the greatest complexity: it is the part most exposed to weather aggression and where a number or functions or terminations may converge. Research...
