The German Institutes of Textile and Fibre Research Denkendorf (DITF) have signed an agreement with Saint-Gobain Ceramics on cooperation and joint development in the field of metal oxide ceramic fibres. Saint-Gobain is a French that designs, manufactures and distributes materials and solutions for the construction and other industrial application markets.
At DITF, research and development in the field of ceramic fibres has been carried out continuously since 1990, so extensive and well-founded know-how exists. The results and status of the research have been presented in a number of scientific publications and at various international conferences, which drew the attention of several companies to the research results and expertise of the DITF. After an extensive evaluation and negotiations with several potential partners, Saint-Gobain emerged as the ideal collaboration partner due to the complementary expertise of the two partners, DITF said in a press release.
Metal oxide ceramic fibres are an essential component of fibre-reinforced ceramic materials, which are increasingly important for a wide range of high-temperature applications. Fibre reinforcement produces a damage-tolerant ceramic material that is no longer brittle and is superior to monolithic ceramics, making it highly desirable from a technical and commercial point of view.

Potential applications include components in industrial furnaces, charge carriers for temperature treatment and, in the high-tech sector, components in high efficiency stationary gas turbines, lower fuel consumption aircraft gas turbines and in space applications. A significant increase in the industrial use of CMCs is forecast for the coming years, and with it, a growing demand for ceramic fibres.
