Test bars for determination of thermal expansion coefficient

Research and Development

The Keramikinstitut sometimes continues work on an interesting research project when the job for the client has already been done. We know that knowing more is always better, and will pay off some day, helping us to serve future clients even better. Please find here a list of selected research projects. Results that have been published in ceramic papers can be found as well. Please contact us if you are interested in results or related matters.
