Carbon-ceramic hybrid fibre proves its worth–NRW Minister for Science Mona Neubaur congratulates ITA start-up TERNAfil
3 June 2026, Essen, Germany
MAXCarbon technology, a novel carbon-ceramic hybrid fibre developed by ITA spin-off TERNAfil, secured third place at the HIGH-TECH.NRW Demo Day on the TÜV NORD campus in Essen, Germany. The technology combines the strength of carbon fibres with the temperature and corrosion resistance of ceramic materials. Mona Neubaur, Minister for Science in North Rhine-Westphalia, congratulated the team on their success and on winning prize money of 4,000 euros.
MaxCarbon technology is currently being further developed as part of an EXIST research transfer programme to achieve market readiness for applications in aerospace, energy and security technology.
MaxCarbon technology stems from several years of research carried out by the founding team at RWTH Aachen University. With this award, TERNAfil continues its successful journey from research to spin-off and underlines the potential of MAXCarbon technology.
