Advanced Materials Technology

Over the last five years, HP Technical Ceramics has developed a number of novel processes for the manufacture of ceramics in alumina, fused silica, silicon carbide, zirconia and mullite in dense or in porous forms. The technology is flexible allowing required ceramic shapes to be made quickly. In most cases, the technology is limited only by the complexity of mould design. The processing technique, depending on the geometry, size, quantity and properties of the ceramic components, is selected from:
High temperature ceramic coating and adhesive are frequently used in conjunction with the above techniques to construct ceramic structures that can not be achieved by a single technique (see examples). Recently, more attentions are focused on how to produce porous ceramic components with consistent and narrow pore size distributions, especially with nano-size features. There are always challenges to ceramists to produce ceramics with certain properties, such as nano pore size with certain biological functions and being hydrophobic at elevated temperatures. After all, ceramic technology development is driven by the scientists and engineers in other fields. If you have an idea regarding an application of porous ceramics, whether it is in the field of engineering, chemistry or bio-technology, please do not hesitate to contact us.
