Welcome to Tallon Research

Our group focus on the material science, engineering and advanced manufacturing of CERAMICS.

We work and develop innovative near-net-shaping techniques to  develop components to face extreme applications.

We pursue establishing techniques and understanding how we can achieve the complicated geometry and desired outstanding properties while keeping an exhaustive control of the microstructure and inter-particle forces between ceramic particles.
