Aim of project
The Network of Excellence ‘Knowledge-based multicomponent materials for durable and safe performance’ (KMM-NoE) has been established in order to create a coherent pan-European structure of key academic and research institutions, SMEs and large industry partners in the field of knowledgebased multicomponent materials designed for safe and durable performance in highly demanding loading and environmental conditions. Such materials include functionally graded materials, metal-ceramic composites and intermetallics.

Expected results
The primary goal of the Network of Excellence ‘Knowledge-based multicomponent materials for durable and safe performance’ (KMM-NoE) is to create a coherent pan-European structure of key academic and research institutions, SMEs and large industry partners in the field of knowledge-based multicomponent materials designed for safe and durable performance in highly demanding loading and environmental conditions
