University of Bonab - Composite Lab. (UBCL)


Welcome to the Composite Materials Laboratory (UBCL) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bonab.
UBCL is an educational and research facility equipped for the fabrication, testing, and analysis of composite materials and encompasses research on all aspects of the manufacture and processing of composite materials. Research within the laboratory also focuses on natural fiber reinforced composites and mechanical properties of composite materials.
UBCL provides support for research projects related to composite materials and also for a laboratory course on composite materials characterization.
We welcome international visiting researchers and students from across the world.  You can join us through programs such as individual university partnerships, MEVLANA exchange program, or as an independent applicant.
International researchers and students can research with us for up to six months and they will not be charged a fee or for accommodation.
