Research and development

We are scientists and see ourselves as your service provider and co-operation partner. Do you have an exciting project or an important issue in product development or production? We are there!

We pursue our own research projects in various subject areas:

Geochemistry

• Origin analyses and characterisation of (in)organic raw materials
• Inorganic pollutant analyses within production chains
• Provenance analyses of (archaeological) ceramics, bones, teeth, etc.
• Trace element determination and origin analyses of plants and plant raw materials

Material properties and processes

• Physical characterisation of material deformation and recrystallisation
• Optimisation of forming processes and material properties (metallic and geomaterials)
• Crystallographic phase determination of raw materials and materials
• Determination of other material parameters such as porosity, material hardness or viscosity
