CERAMIC AND GLASSY MATERIALS RESEARCH GROUP

UNIDAD DE INVESTIGACION EN MATERIALES CERAMICOS Y VITREOS

RELATIONS WITH INDUSTRIAL COMPANIES

In the UIMCV we are in agreement with the idea that the University must service to the Society. One of the ways to give this service is through the colaboration with industrial companies This can be carried out by several ways:

R+D PROJECTS
The high competitive of global market impose to use research and develop policies which allow to companies to manufacture new and/or improved products in order to create new markets or play advantage in which being present now. The UIMCV collaborate with companies looking for improving innovation process, teaching profesionals and starting new researches.

Our research is centred in the study and development of both new materials and the optimization of the properties of some materials manufactured today.

This research can be carried out through projects of interest for several industrial sectors which production is related to ceramic and glassy materials science. For more information click here.

  • Ceramic pigments: improve production process, color development, decreasing contaminant substances, new pigments.

  • Glass-ceramic materials: glass-ceramic glazes, improvement of mechanical and chemical resistance, optimization of optical properties, glass-ceramics from industrial wastes, advanced glass-ceramics.

  • Technical porcelains: microstructure in whitewares, effect of additives on the microstructure, mechanical properties.

  • Luminiscent materials: synthesis, characterization and development of new luminiscent materials.

CONSULTANCY SERVICE
We give scientifical and technical asistance for the industry. For this purpose we possess both the technical equipment at the University of Valencia and our experience in the study of ceramic and glassy  materials.
