Poretege

THE PORETEGE RESEARCH GROUP, founded in 2008, conducts academic-based and industrially-oriented research in the Metallurgy & Materials Research Institute (MMRI) at Chulalongkorn University, with primary focus on electro/electroless deposition, hot-dip galvanization, metallics foams, and powder metallurgy. We concentrate on the materials processing... technology, and the relationships of microstructure and the mechanical and corrosion properties of the materials. What does the word PORETEGE mean? The word 'Poretege' comes from 'Protégé' which refers to a person who get trained and supported by significant persons. As a research scientist/engineer, we often learn and develop our works and skills based on prior teaching crystallized by many great scientists and experts, including our teachers and colleagues, who tirelessly embark upon their quests for knowledge. We are grateful to those influential persons. 'Poretege' comes from 'Protégé' which, from its root, means 'to protect'. In our research, we aim to develop processes that lead to metallic coatings with superior protective properties. 'Poretege' also represents our study on processing technology and fundamental understanding of porous materials, including metallic foams and sintered materials. The word 'Pore' in 'Poretege' also means to read/study attentively and to reflect/meditate steadily, and these are exactly our tools to achieve our research goals!Read More
