Advanced materials and processes
Within the research group advanced materials and processes, we work with additive manufacturing, large-scale processes for applications with graphene and supercapacitors.
In addition, the research group works with battery research, triboelectric nanogenerators, physical electronics, photonics, laser processing, sensor materials and semiconductor materials.
We have gathered research and resources in advanced materials and material processes at Mittuniversitetet in a joint group to create a common platform and identity for a stronger collaboration with the surrounding society.
The group offers access to expert competence, lab infrastructure and training in materials and material processes. The research projects concern, among other things, batteries, lithium-ion batteries and aluminum batteries, as well as additive manufacturing and laser technology.
Lab environments
The lab for additive manufacturing at Campus Östersund makes it possible to create advanced components in a range of different materials from a 3D model in the computer, to complex geometries that were previously impossible to manufacture. The lab contains equipment for additive manufacturing in metal and plastic. There are various types of printers, blasters, sieves, mills, washers, laser scanning equipment but also advanced material characterization equipment.
The lab for additive manufacturing
Materials and innovation lab, MILAB, on Campus Sundsvall
The lab is a common infrastructure platform shared with the business network to support the development of innovations, services, products, businesses and research. Equipment includes analysis equipment in solid and liquid materials, for example electron microscopy, material testing and chemical analysis.
The clean room at Campus Sundsvall
The clean room specializes in the manufacture of radiation semiconductor sensors and micromechanical sensors. Both researchers and students use the clean room in education and research.
Research and education
Our research group has expertise and conducts research in materials, among other things metallic materials, nanomaterials, cellulosic materials, semiconductor materials, optical materials, polymer materials, biomaterials and ceramics. We work with material processes within large-scale coating processes, chemical functionalization processes, laser processing processes, contacting and component assembly, manufacturing and processing processes and additive processes. We provide training for a Master of Science in Materials Physics. The training is developed together with the company network and a trade council within the materials and process industry. In addition, higher education engineering courses are conducted in sports technology and additive manufacturing, and in the autumn of 2023 a master's course in additive manufacturing with a focus on metal will be started.
