Our R&D programs are presently carried out in cooperation with the following research centres:

• U.L.G. – I.P.N.A.S. (University of Liège, Department of Applied Nuclear Physics) where  proton & deuteron activation techniques are being developed for wear measurements

• U.C.L. – Dept. of Physics, Louvain-la-Neuve, a research center involved in radioactive ion implantation techniques for wear measurements on polymers, ceramics & hard coatings

• SCK–CEN Mol, Dept. BR1, Belgium, a research centre involved in labelling techniques for engine parts, lubricants and additives 

• L.A.R.N. - FUNDP (Laboratory for Analysis by Nuclear Reactions, Namur, Belgium), where an innovative implantation method is under development (ultra low wear measurement on ceramics and hard coatings).

Vacuum chamber for ion implantation at the University of Louvain-la-Neuve, Cyclotron Department, Belgium. Application is ultra-low wear measurement on a sperical prosthetic made of ceramic material.
