Materials

Published on 18 April 2016

KNOW-HOW TO MEET YOUR NEEDS :

  • Manufacturers in the transportation, construction and building materials, energy, microelectronics, healthcare, food, and other industries
  • Equipment manufacturers and end users with materials-related R&D challenges

​Materials are everywhere, making them a substantial source of leverage to overcome challenges like protecting the environment and making sustainable use of raw materials, improving product performance, and introducing innovative product features.

CEA Tech is helping to minimize the use of certain resources by developing alternative materials, new additive manufacturing processes to reduce waste, and new recycling methods. CEA Tech researchers are also developing new, more energy-efficient raw-materials transformation processes to reduce environmental impacts. Other CEA Tech programs are focusing on ways to implement new materials and to create others (through novel assembly techniques and formulations) with specific properties (insulation, energy harvesting, lighter weight, better resistance).
