The Engineering Materials & Applications (EMAP) research group focuses on developing innovative solutions to successfully bridge the gap between fundamental research and industrially compatible products and processes. This is done in a wide range of fields, from materials physics and chemistry to electronics, electromechanics and electrochemistry. Cooperation with industrial ...
The activities of the research unit Mechanics of Materials, Products and Processes (MeM2P) at Campus Gent are aimed at gaining a better understanding of the mechanical behavior of materials in industrial applications. This is done by devising new experimental methods based on optical techniques, especially DIC (using own developed code) on the one hand and new numerical techniques that facilitate the identification of this behavior (using ...
The Department of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering (MTM: Metaalkunde en Toegepaste Materiaalkunde) is dedicated to both fundamental and application-oriented research in metals, ceramics, polymers, and in composite materials. Its strength lies in the multi-method approach at the levels of elaboration and processing, of characterization, and of evaluation of the functional behavior of materials. The aim is, starting from fundamental ...
Materials and Packaging: Research & Services (MPR&S)
Expertise
The research spearhead 'packaging technology' is broadly defined with a focus on characterization and optimization of materials/packaging. From the services and research, we support the education within the program of engineering technology in chemistry - option food processing and packaging.
Detailed information about the activities of the ...
