In KUBAM, we produce innovative materials both in laboratory scale and pre-production scale (kg). We can divide the research activities at KUBAM into two main categories:
High-Tech Boron-Based Materials
For boron-based materials research, we target the following application areas:
ENERGY
- Superconductors (MgB2)
- Fuels and propellants
- Absorbers for nuclear reactions
- Pyrotechnic materials
METALLURGY/MATERIALS
- Next-gen 2D materials like borophene
- Refractory materials (TiB2, ZrB2, etc.)
- High-tech ceramics (thermal protectors, nozzles, armor applications, cut/wear tools, etc.)
- Deoxidants and particle size refining agents
- Wear-resistant coatings
HEALTH
- Biomaterials (Boron neutron capture therapy, therapeutic nanoparticles, etc.)
- Detergents and cosmetics
SPACE/AERONAUTICS/AUTOMOTIVE
- Composite materials
- Missile fuels (AlB2, AlB12)
- Airbags (B-KNO3)
Advanced Materials
The research activities on advanced materials are focused on the following areas:
ENERGY
- Thermoelectrics
- Batteries
- Catalysts
- Hydrogen storage materials
NOVEL NANO AND
BULK FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS
- Superconductors
- Laser crystals
- Materials displaying zero or negative thermal expansion
