Technology Expertise

The R&D+i activity of INNANOMAT research group is focused on two lines:

1. We research on the relation between the nanostructure of the materials, their processing and funcionality, to produce new innovative materials and products with market potential.

2. We develop materials for additive manufacturing (3D printing). We emphasise the contribution of nanotechnology to improve these materials and to innovate in the field of 3D and 4D printing.

Our main aim is to create wealth from the generation of knowledge in the field of Materials Science and Engineering, Nanotechnology and Additive Manufacturing. This knowledge is transferred to the Society through our offer of Technical Services and the creation of technological spin-offs.
