- ICMCB is also part of "Initiative d'Excellence of University of Bordeaux" and develops research works within four French clusters of excellence : Amadeus, Laphia, CPU and Storex.
Any other relevant information :
ICMCB focuses on three research areas : Solid State Chemistry, Materials Science and Molecular Science. Ceramic materials, their processing (including powder synthesis, study of sintering mechanisms) and their characterization, are major scientific topics for materials science at ICMCB. Research covers all length scales from nano-particles to macroscopic bulk ceramic materials.
