Group for advanced research, innovation and technology transfer in surface engineering
Short description of research area
Field research is oriented on surface engineering as a separate discipline within materials science. One of the research groups objectives is introduction of modern technology in the service of science, as well as in practical applications. This is a state of the art plasma surface modification and coating technology (PACVD). Until the project began, this technology did't exist in Croatia, nor in the wider region. PACVD allows for a wide range of separate (but also combined) surface layers (mostly titanium based) with different characteristics to be produced. One of examples are DLC layers - extremely biocompatible and highly wear resistant.
