Researchers from IMDEA Materials and the Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M), in collaboration with research institutes in France and Japan, have achieved a significant breakthrough in better understanding the fracture mechanics of additively manufactured metals.
Spanish researchers have demonstrated a scalable manufacturing process for carbon nanotube (CNT) fibres with electrical conductivity comparable to that of copper and aluminium.
A recent publication from IMDEA Materials Institute and the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) presents a major step forward in bringing real-time simulation capabilities to composite manufacturing processes.
This time, Julia Lyubina from Evonik will discuss how a global specialty chemicals company like Evonik turns scientific insight into sustainable industrial solutions. Abstract: In

The IMDEA Materials Institute is part of the Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies (IMDEA) network, an institutional framework created to foster social and economic sustainable growth in the region of Madrid by promoting the generation of scientific knowledge and technological innovation in a number of strategic areas (water, food, energy, materials, nanoscience, networks and software).
We are a non-profit organisation (foundation) with the Mission of doing research of excellence in material science, contributing to tackle the challenges of society and fostering the sustainable development of the region of Madrid.
Our Vision for the future is that IMDEA Materials becomes a leading research institute, internationally recognized for its excellence in material science and its contributions to the transformation of society.
This is sustained on our three main pillars:
excellence in materials science and engineering research
attraction of talented researchers from all over the world to work in Madrid in an international and interdisciplinary environment
technology transfer to industry to increase competitiveness and maintain technological leadership
As a result, in 2019 IMDEA Materials was recognised as María de Maetzu Unit of Excellence by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation:
The IMDEA Materials Institute has an stablished international reputation in the areas of design, processing, characterization, modelling and simulation of advanced materials for applications in different industrial sectors with particular emphasis in transport and energy.
Through our Research Programmes we combine oriented fundamental research with applied research addressing the scientific and technological challenges that drive innovation in materials science and engineering. This combination provides the institute the ability to address ambitious technological challenges in collaboration with companies to create value in their products and processes.
IMDEA Materials Institute has state-of-the-art laboratories to manufacture, characterise and simulate advanced materials and nanomaterials, including their integration in lab scale prototypes and devices.
