Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have demonstrated the successful additive manufacturing of two magnesium alloys through selective laser melting (SLM), while significantly improving their corrosion resistance through advanced plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings. The work, carried

The European Commission has selected HIGHHYDROGEN-ML, a project carried out at IMDEA Materials, to be featured in a special publication celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). As a result, it has been recognised by the European Commission as one of the most

For most of us, recycling plastic has become second nature. We separate bottles, food containers and packaging, believing they will be transformed into new products. Yet despite decades of recycling initiatives, only around 9% of the roughly 380 million tons of plastic waste produced globally

Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed an advanced computational modelling framework that enables the systematic analysis of potential failure and degradation mechanisms in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). Such coatings are essential for protecting critical high-temperature

A research team from IMDEA Materials, the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) and the Alfonso X el Sabio University (UAX) has published a systematic map in Advanced Engineering Materials that combines the mechanical and acoustic properties of TPMS cellular structures. The study provides a design

IMDEA Materials Institute is pleased to announce the successful completion of the selection process for the ATENEA call, marking an important milestone in the implementation of this Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) COFUND programme coordinated by IMDEA Materials Institute. Following a highly

Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based strategy to predict and assess the fire resistance of epoxy resins, one of the most widely used polymers in industry. The new system, published in Polymer Degradation and Stability, enables the rapid and

Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute and the Institute of Polymer Science and Technology (ICTP-CSIC) have developed an innovative biodegradable multilayer film capable of protecting and controlling the release of anthocyanins inside the body. Published in the International Journal of

Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a new hybrid methodology that combines quantum mechanics and thermodynamic calculations to predict the phase diagram of nickel-cobalt alloys. Published in Acta Materialia, this breakthrough overcomes the limitations of traditional methods,

IMDEA Materials has achieved a new milestone in attracting talent and securing European research funding, after being awarded two projects in the latest call of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks. Both projects are among the 141 MSCA doctoral programmes funded by the

An international research team has demonstrated how conventional radiative cooling coatings can be optimised to further reduce building surface temperatures, cutting energy consumption, while also improving fire safety.  Radiative cooling coatings passively lower surface temperatures by

IMDEA Materials has been awarded 6 Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships in the latest call. The selected fellowships together represent more than €1.2 million in European funding and cover a broad range of advanced materials research, spanning energy, safety,

Dr. Sabina Lachowicz-Wisniewska  Behind the colour, flavour and aroma of foods such as red wine, coffee, olive oil, dark chocolate and berries lies a family of naturally occurring compounds known as polyphenols. Beyond their sensory appeal, polyphenols play multiple roles in human health.
