Abstract
The Thermal Spray Center at the Thermal Spray CentreCPT has a wide experience in surface engineering field and specifically working with thermal spray technologies, mainly HVOF and CGS. During all these years it has been developing a wide range of materials from metals to ceramics from traditional high wear coatings to corrosion resistant materials. The center has been focusing on novel materials, including new cermets, intermetallic, polymers or metallic glasses, offering both higher wear resistance and/or new surface properties as it is the case of photo catalysis, considering also super hydrophobic or antifouling materials. Some of the new developments and their possible applications will be exposed in this presentation, such as main research lines included in H2020 projects like RIBLET4WIND, HYDROBOND or PROCETS.
