친환경 기능성 세라믹스

Sustainable Functional Ceramics

세라믹 커뮤니티에서 떠오르는 두 가지 키워드는 지속 가능성과 고급 애플리케이션을위한 맞춤형 기능입니다. 이 고효율 지향적이고 친환경적인 접근 방식은 점점 더 엄격 해지는 환경 규제에 적절하게 대응하는 것입니다. 이 연구에서 가장 큰 도전 중 하나는 가장 유용한 세라믹 재료가 결국 제거해야하는 명목상 독성 요소를 포함하고 있다는 사실입니다. 우리의 목표는 환경적 적절성에 맞추면서 실제 적용가능한 요구 사항을 충족하기 위해 혁신적인 조성 설계와 공정 개발을 통해 기존 세라믹 재료가 가진 한계를 극복하는 것입니다. 이와 함께 우리는 세라믹 산업이 직면한 도전에 대한 해결책을 제시함은 물론 한 단계 앞선 기술적 제안을 통해 활발한 산학 협력 생태계를 구축하고 있습니다.
Two emerging keywords in the ceramic community are sustainability and tailored functionality for advanced applications. This high-efficient-oriented and eco-friendly approach is to respond properly to the environmental regulations getting tougher and tougher. One of the biggest challenges on this quest lies in the fact that most useful ceramic materials contain nominally toxic elements that should be eventually removed. Our goal is to best-tailor the functionality of ceramic materials to meet the requirements for practical applications in accordance with the environmental appropriateness. Alongside this, we are working actively together with ceramic industries to resolve the bottle-neck challenges and also looking for unprecedented new classes of materials with educated creativity.
