companies and/or research institutes. Complex analysis of metals, alloys,
polymers, glasses and ceramics are aimed in the pedagogic, research and expertise
activities of the Institute. It cooperates successfully with international well
known companies (Böhler-Edelstahl, Bekaert etc.), universities (POSTECH, TU
Viedeň, University of Ljubljana etc.) and research institutes (IFW Dresden, FZD
Rosendorf, IJS Ljubljana etc.). The Institute supports with its results the
