Activities of the Institute of Physics of Materials contribute to clarifying the relationship between the behaviour and properties of materials and their structural and microstructural characteristics, with priority being given to the research of advanced materials based on metals, ceramics, and composites concerning their microstructure and method of preparation. The purpose of the research activity is to clarify and describe the physical properties of the examined materials with the potential to optimize their utility properties and predict their service life. The results of the basic and applied research of the IPM have enriched Czech and global scientific knowledge for more than 60 years. The results are shared with world experts and implemented into the educational process and practice through cooperation with universities and companies.
