Welcome to the home page of the Advanced Materials (AdMat) project.

AdMat centre of excellence is a project of basic research of the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR) focused on a multidisciplinary research of advanced materials.The project is registered under the CSF number 14-36566G: Multidisciplinary research centre for advanced materials.

More info about the centre... : Six departments from four Institutes of ASCR and two Universities joined together in Advanced materials multidisciplinary research center. The centre is focused on complex investigation of ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials (prepared by advanced methods, such as severe plastic deformation and plasma technologies), functionally graded materials (prepared by plasma spraying), coated light-metal based composites, functional materials with martensitic transformation and (multi) layered functional structures. The performed research investigation deals with e.g. structural stability, plastic behaviour and relations between UFG structure and phase transformations, the effect of reinforcements in composites, the influence of microstructure on magnetic shape memory effect and computer simulations of the involved materials and propeties. By combining the light metals and shape memory materials new advanced light composites with additional functionality and new generation of functionally graded materials will be prepared. Center members share their expertise, unique experimental facilities and contribute to the extension of scientific abilities of students and young researchers participating in the research teams.
