Department of materials

Short description of the research area

The main activities of group are testing the mechanical and tribological properties of metals, ceramic and composite materials used in dentistry and medicine. Also a lot of R&D activities are in structure characterization of the biomedical materials and investigation of relationship between structure of materials and its properties. Development of advanced materials for biomedical applicationa such as metal matrix composites and memory shape alloys is also important activity of this group.
