The investigation of the electrical and mechanical

The behavior of ceramic materials is one of the main areas of research at the institute. The investigations are carried out both on materials produced at the institute and on samples and components from cooperation partners in research and industry. Mechanical characterization focuses on strength and fatigue tests under defined environmental conditions and media. Electrical characterization focuses primarily on ferroelectric materials and components. This involves the analysis of frequency and temperature-dependent properties in the small signal range as well as the investigation of strain and polarization behaviour as a function of temperature.

In the division of magnetic characterization, the focus is on the investigation of soft magnetic materials, both in the form of electrical sheets and as smart magnetic composites (SMC).
