CERAMIC MATERIALS
Ceramics often offer the perfect, economical and high-performance alternative to traditional materials such as metals or plastics.
Ceramics have multiple properties and can be used to meet major societal challenges (health, green transition, decarbonised energy, circular economy, European strategic autonomy, etc.).
