The status meeting of the EU project "CENTAUR - Ceramics with sensing capabilities for high temperature applications" took place on 24 April 2023.
At the beginning, Professor Nestler reported on the current status of the project in general. The project partners from the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology LIST, the Technical University of Liberec and the Chemnitz University of Technology with the professorship for measurement and sensor technology and the foundation research group for textile plastic and hybrid composites at the Institute for Structural Lightweight Construction presented in detail the status of their work packages and the results. The project is planned to be successfully completed in December 2023. An extensive discussion took place on this, especially on the definition and production of the demonstrator, which should be then available. The results so far allow the conclusion that the project will show promising developments in the field of additive and injection moulding of functional oxide fibre ceramics (OCMC). The project partners will meet for monthly coordination meetings.
Addition of POLPUR to the consortium of CENTAUR
The CENTAUR consortium has grown. With pleasure we announce that the company POLPUR (https://www.polpur.cz/) has joined the research Project.

On 10 September 2020 the kick-off meeting of the EU project "CENTAUR - Ceramics with sensing capabilities for high temperature applications" took place virtual due to corona crisis. The project partners from the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology LIST, the Technical University of Liberec and the Chemnitz University of Technology with the Chair of Measurement and Sensor Technology (MST) and the Endowed Chair of Textile Plastics and Hybrid Composites (TKV) at the Department of Lightweight Structures and Polymer Technology (SLK) are looking forward to collaborate on research and development of functionalised, innovative materials to be used in areas of high stress, such as aerospace and automotive.
Prof. Daisy Nestler is the coordinator of the project and is supported by Dr. Andrea Preuß.
The project idea arose from the MERGE Cluster of Excellence at Chemnitz University of Technology as well as the active collaboration in the European Alliance of Lightweight Clusters (ELCA) coordinated by Dr. Katharina Schöps.
