Design and development of coatings for biomedical applications

Back to list BaDAP profile
Description
The research group is engaged in the design, optimization of manufacturing processes and the fabrication and characterization of microstructure, surface topography and selected properties of innovative polymeric, ceramic and composite coatings. The basic technology is electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and heat treatment, as well as hybrid treatment involving EPD and laser techniques. Coatings are used to improve the properties of metals and alloys especially in biomedical engineering and mechanical engineering applications.
