Lucideon and PCL Ceramics, a market leader in the manufacture of high-pressure casting equipment, have joined forces to deliver new advances in processing across key market sectors.

Lucideon and Ionotec, a leader in solid electrolyte manufacture and sodium battery development, have announced the completion of an Innovate UK collaborative feasibility study to assess the potential for Lucideon's Flash Sintering technology to manufacture beta-alumina solid electrolytes, a critical component of sodium batteries.

Lucideon M+P, a subsidiary of Lucideon Group Limited, is expanding its existing Greenville County presence. The company's $7.5 million investment is expected to create 28 new jobs, with more to follow in the next five years.

Lucideon has changed the name of its Information Centre to better reflect the all-encompassing know-how and experience that it offers.  Now called the Lucideon Knowledge Centre, it is the place to go for all technical and commercial information about ceramics and a wide range of other materials, including metals, composites and polymers.

Lucideon has added nanoparticle analysis to its suite of analytical capabilities with the purchase of a LitSizer 500, manufactured by Anton Paar.  The LitSizer is capable of measuring particles in the range of 1-1000nm and allows Lucideon to offer analysis and consultancy to manufacturers and development teams working with nanoparticles across a wide range of sectors.

Lucideon is pleased to announce that it is the lead participant in Innovate UK's 'Field Enhanced Sintering of Beta Alumina for Electric Vehicle Battery Applications' project.

Lucideon has published a new white paper: 'Failure Analysis of Plastic Products'.
