The main goal of the LightCoce project is to overcome technological barriers to scale-up the production processes of multifunctional lightweight ceramic composites and concrete materials, providing open access for SMEs to the ecosystem built by the project.

As part of the project, Łukasiewicz – Poznań Institute of Technology will develop a technology for the production of valves used in space satellites from Ti3SiC2 and Ti2AlC composites and thermal protective coatings used in space vehicles using powder metallurgy methods.
