Any other relevant information :
Short description of the activities: application of the phase equilibrium diagrams to the synthesis, development and study of the behavior of ceramics. Phase equilibrium diagrams are applied to designing microstructures focusing properties, in particular specific physicochemical –hightemperature reactions and corrosion- and thermo-mechanical behaviours.
Materials:
Advanced structural oxide ceramics: single phase, ceramic matrix composites and layered.
Refractory bricks and monolithic refractories. Corrosion.
Biomaterials for bone substitution: alumina, alumina-zirconia, zirconia.
Biomaterials for bone regeneration: calcium phosphates, wollastonite, diopside, alkali-free bioactive glasses.
Bulk ceramics, porous ceramics and coatings.
