Nanocomposite coatings have dominated research activities for several years. Needs are becoming increasingly specific and the cost of production is decreasing.

Nanocomposite coatings are formed from an amorphous or crystalline matrix into which nanocrystalline grains of around 10 nanometres are inserted.

These “new” coatings offer exceptional properties in fields such as:

• resistance to corrosion;
• optics;
• biomedicine;
• magnetism;
• machining (excellent resistance to high temperatures);
• etc.

At Dephis, we carry out our own applied research studies on nanocomposites so that you can also benefit from our experience. We’d be delighted to work with you to explore your needs in this field.
