The department carries out development of compositions of ceramics, glass, petrurgical, composite and fixing materials, coatings and products made of them, technologies and equipment for production of such materials; research in the field of high-temperature processes and systems while synthesizing of such materials and exploration of their physical-chemical and mechanical properties
The department executes projects under the Operative programs of the EU and the Ministry of Education, Youth and Science.
Ballistic corundum ceramics and macro-disperse protection modules against high-energy kinetic influences were created and examined. Other materials and protection plates for various purposes are in process of development.
