Materials with optical, thermal, magnetic, electrical and acoustic functions

The activity of materials science and engineering moves in 4 areas: applications, processing, structure and properties. In this case, we are talking about those materials that have optical functions (sensors, lenses, etc.), thermal (behavior with respect to heating), magnetic (act as a point of attraction), electrical (generate energy) and acoustic ( vibration and sound transmission).

These are the services that our research groups can develop. For customized information on the services, please contact us.
