Programme Research

The programme research – open to members only – comprises three different types of research projects for the current period of research (2003–2005):

Member Projects
Competence Project
Industry Group Projects

These three types of projects are an important part of SCI's research activities, and they are accessible solely for the members of the Industrial Ceramic Research Association. 

Member Projects
SCI and the members have agreed on four strategic areas of research. One project has been set up within each selected area:

Dispersion and Rheology
Project Title Concentrated Water-based and/or Alcohol-based Powder Suspensions
Project Leader Ola Lyckfeldt,  +46 31 7066277, mobile +46 70 7806277
Direct Consolidation & Freeform Fabrication
Project Title Shaping Methods for Components of Complex Geometry
Project Leader Erik Adolfsson,  +46 31 7066298, mobile +46 70 7806298
Formation of Layer Structures
Project Title Advanced Design and Function of Layers and Laminates
Project Leader Lisa Palmkvist,  +46 31 7066026, mobile +46 70 7806026
Technology Watch
Project Title Global Ceramic Technology Watch
Project Leader Sven Karlsson,  +46 31 7066294, mobile +46 70 7806294

These four projects are financed by the member fees. All members can influence and control the direction of these projects.

Competence Project
This project is financed totally by IRECO Holding AB and Vinnova, but all members will get access to the results from this project. This project is run in cooperation with Institute for Surface Chemistry  (YKI, Ytkemiska Institutet AB) within the field of Mesoporous structures. This is a relatively new R&D area with large growth potential. 
Mesoporous Structures
Project Title Functional films, surfaces and materials
Project Leader Elis Carlström,  +46 31 7066144, mobile +46 70 7806144
Industry Group Project
This project is financed solely by the participating enterprises, and the projects are intended for a small group of companies who gather round a common issue. These projects are strictly confidential and the participating companies own the results. The extent of such a project may vary.

These projects must be started by a member, but non-members may participate, provided that they pay a higher fee.
