Introduction


Ceramic Nanocomposites are one of the most promising materials for an increasing number of future-oriented applications such as mirrors for earth observatory systems, knee and hip implants, coating powders for car and aerospace surfaces, …

All these interesting applications are on the run in research and some of them are ready-to-use in industrial processes. But what is the background of these new “knowledge-based” materials? Which are the technological and scientific barriers to overcome in order to obtain added-value products? What synthesis, processing and up-scaling technologies are available right now and in the next future?.

In the present training action on “Ceramic Nanocomposites” experts of the Consortium of the Integrated Project NANOKER will give answers to these and a lot of other questions related to the world of ceramic nanomaterials.

Now and here, we are looking for the “best” participants for this training and we consider the “best” participant a young scientist or engineer who can convincingly show us how he/she will take advantage of the contents and contacts of this training which is free-of-charge for him/her.

If you feel addressed please have a look to more details you can find below.

Waiting for your application.

Kind regards

Ramón Torrecillas

Project Coordinator “IP NANOKER”
