Processes of conventional and non-conventional

manufacturing at macro-, micro- and nanoscale

The incorporation of vanguard technologies for the development of

new products and enhanced processes, improvements in the design

or branding as elements which are also critical in industry, etc. means

that there are essential areas to be tackled.

SURFACE ENGINEERING

RESEARCH AREAS

2 Physicochemical technologies

The strategic objective of Surface Engineering is to make progress in

improving the properties of materials and provide them with

different functionalities. Surface engineering, therefore, not only

includes deposition technologies or coating but also any physical or

chemical modification without any input of material.

• Plasma electrolytic oxidation

• Direct laser deposition

• Laser texturing

Materials for energy

Tribology

Control in use of industrial fluids

Materials and surfaces performance

• Nanoimprint lithography

• PVD

• Sol-Gel

PRODUCT ENGINEERING

RESEARCH AREAS

4 Product development methodology

Validation of electrochemical measurement technologies

Validation of optical measurement technologies

Integration of heterogeneous technologies

The strategy in product engineering is to make advances in the

development of the concept of the product, and in the design and

development of its components and mechanical parts, and of its

electronics and software. Obtained thus, after various manufacturing

processes, is an item apt and ready for being marketed.
