We work to develop materials and coatings to increase productivity and performance for manufacturing and end use. Our work involves the study of business models including sustainability aspects for logistics and renewable energy, entrepreneurship and product development.
Laboratories and external collaboration
We have a well-equipped materials technology laboratory that has equipment for mechanical and tribological testing and metallographic sample preparation, as well as advanced instruments for microscopy and surface analysis.
We conduct elements of our research upon assignment by companies, which enables us to employ our material expertise and use our laboratory resources in the characterisation and evaluation of materials for use in certain applications.
We have four research specialisations and external collaboration within:
- Materials Technology (Swedish webpage)
- Mechanical Engineering (Swedish webpage)
- Industrial Engineering and Management (Swedish webpage)
- Entrepreneurship (Swedish webpage)
