Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTSIn cooperation with Fraunhofer IPA, ILT and IWU, CNT reinforced ceramics will be developed. With optimization of processing, carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced ceramics of oxides or non-oxides with higher mechanical strength can be obtained.
