Our products

---

 Design and development of new functional materials, through the assembly of nanoscale systems, aiming to improve material performance under aggressive biological environments, such as the ones connected to microbial corrosion, biofilms proliferation, biocorrosion and bioelectricity generation. 

Creation of innovative high-performance products that incorporate the advantages of the transformation of properties at the nanoscale, using custom-designed nanomaterials and advanced manufacturing processes

 Spark Plasma Sintering (FAST/SPS) capabilities, to obtain sintered samples from powders in shorter times and higher quality than other conventional sintering techniques. This equipment, the only one available in Chile, operates up to 2400 °C, using inert or vacuum atmospheres, pressures up to 100 MPa, and short cycle times. 

Our material characterization and testing help to explore and measure the physical, mechanical, chemical, biological, and microstructural properties of your sample materials.  Our capabilities include particle size analysis by laser diffraction, microstructural characterization by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, atomically resolved structural and electronic imaging by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope (LT-STM), mechanical characterization including hardness test, microhardness, tensile test and Charpy impact test and biological interaction (bactericidal and antifouling activity), among others.  

Engineering and R&D consulting services in materials, mechanical design, manufacturing processes, failure analysis, and computer simulation. Development of customized solutions according to issues detected in industrial processes.

Electrowinning pilot plant service for laboratory and semi-industrial scale process.
