Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS products

Highly porous corundum ceramics with average pore sizes between 10 and > 100 nm. Selected modifications of the IKTS-synthesis of NanoCorundum give mesoporous corundum products for filtration, catalyst and sensor applications, manufactured optionally by sol/gel or powder technical approaches.

Application-oriented material development and modification of silicon nitride and composite materials; Design of microstructure and phase composition. Evaluation of sintering behavior and property potential of Si3N4 powders. Consulting on material selection. Development and testing of prototypes for applications subjected to mechanical, chemical and thermal stress.
