High Performance Materials
HIGH
Developing innovative materials that offer a better performance is a major issue for many industries. With their extensive experience in applied research and R&D partnerships, the CBC Carnot Institute teams develop new processes for the synthesis and shaping of high value-added materials.
In the high performance materials research thematic, materials adapted to the specific needs of the company are conceived and integrated into the product. These materials are endowed with defined functionalities to meet the requirements of the device into which they are placed.
