Diamorph has developed a number of advanced materials in the areas of ceramics, composite materials and glasses.

Functionally Graded Materials (FGM)

A FGM material is characterised by a gradual change in material properties with position. It is an anisotropic composite material where a gradient deliberately has been introduced into the material. This gradient can for example be in composition and/or microstructure. Through applying this concept, materials like ceramics and metals can be brought together with a gradual change from one material to another.

Boron Carbide

Boron carbide, B4C, is a ceramic material well known to be one of the hardest materials known, ranking third behind diamond and cubic boron nitride. Further, the material shows advantages such as very low density, high Young’s modulus, and chemical inertness to corrosive media. These properties have proved to be useful in a variety of applications like ballistic protection and wear-resistant components. Boron carbide is further used in the nuclear energy industry, due to its excellent neutron absorption ability.

High Refractive Glasses

The Diamorph glass technology offers glasses with a wide range of chemical compositions designed for various applications and glass components. The functionality of the glass materials produced by Diamorph can be modified by tuning the concentration of the different additives. The optimised compositions have resulted in glasses with the following characteristics:
• High refractive index
• Hard and scratch resistant
• High concentration of magnetic elements
• High thermal stability
• High chemical flexibility
