Advancing sustainable materials and manufacturing

At JU-Labs in the department of Materials and Manufacturing, we unlock the secrets of materials through unique experimentation and analysis. Our facilities allow us to process materials, and measure mechanical, chemical, and physical properties, exploring the intricate relationships between processing, performance, and microstructure of materials (mainly Metals and Polymers). By combining state-of-the-art equipment with expert knowledge, we dive deep into the connections between material properties, manufacturing processes, and component design—paving the way for breakthroughs in sustainable and innovative materials and manufacturing.

Resources

Our facilities are generally divided into two categories of (i) processing and manufacturing that are mostly located at JU-CAST External link, opens in new window. (~10 min walking from our main building at JTH), and (ii) testing and characterization all located at JTH External link, opens in new window. main building.
