Composite Materials

• Nanocomposites are achieved by dispersing nanostructured fillers in polymer matrix
  
• Structural carbon fibre reinforced composites with the matrix consisting of the studied nanocomposites
  
• Hybrid metal/fiber composites consist mainly of an alternation of metal alloy and pre-preg unidirectional fibers or fabric (CF, GF or aramid) sheets
  
• Carbon- carbon composites (phenolic and mesophase matrix)

Multifunctional Coatings 

• Multilayer ceramic micro and nano structured, resistant at temperatures, thermal shock, corrosive and erosive wear, fretting corrosion,etc. applied at turbo engines and modern co generative systems
• Monolayer vitro ceramic coatings, related to functional conditions of turbo engines for "hot parts"protections
• Mono and multilayer protections, from complex alloys, resistant at temperature, corrosive and erosive wear, liquid metal contact,related to vital components from metalllurgy – tuyeres,lance tips,etc.
• Duplex antifriction layers for realization of sliding journal for rolling mills up to 2000 mm diameter
