Materials for transport
MATERIALS
The research carried out at the CBC Carnot Institute in the area of materials for transport opens new perspectives for this sector’s industries. The results contribute to gains in energy efficiency through the development of new materials and innovative fabrication processes, which reduce the weight, volume and complexity of terrestrial vehicles and aircraft. Studies of the durability of these materials under real operating conditions is another competence of the institute’s groups.
Power electronics, a key technology for transportation systems, is another focus of our research teams; by developing materials resistant to high temperatures loses are reduced.
