General Information
|
Researching on Materials, especially: *Reaction transformations, mass and dimensional changes of ceramics and glasses with temperature changes.
* Making observations about sintering behaviour of ceramic materials. *Determination of surface charge of powders or powder size materials in fluid conditions. *Also characterizing the surface properties and topography of thin film coatings. With these apparatus equipped at laboratory it would be possible to reveal characteristics and behavior of materials in a reliable way to support researches at Material Science and Engineering Department.
