The objectives of our laboratory include the creation and the evaluation of inorganic materials made from innovative processes.We specializes in the development of nanostructured materials. Recent research interest has focused on the following two directions: 1. Spark plasma sintering used in combination with high-energy ball milling for the consolidation of nanostructured high-temperature ceramics; 2. Thermodynamic and kinetics of hydrogen absorption and desorption in nanostruactured hydrogen storage materials.
