Seminar of Dr. Christian Leinenbach from EMPA (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science & Technology), in Zurich, entitle “Microstructure control during laser additive manufacturing – what possibilities do we have?” – At 15:30 pm, in the Seminar Room

Abstract: During the last couple years, laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) technologies such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and directed energy deposition (DED) have evolved from a mere prototyping technology to a real production technology that allow building parts with intricate 3D

Research groups

The Institute is currently organised into sixteen research groups focused on different areas in the field of materials science and engineering. Each of these groups is led by one staff researcher, who is in charge of coordinating and supervising a research team of post and predoctoral researchers.

Who we are

The IMDEA Materials Institute, one of the seven Madrid Institutes for Advanced Studies (IMDEA), is a public research centre founded in 2007 by Madrid’s regional government. The goal of the Institute is to do research at the forefront of Material Science and Engineering, attracting talent from all

(HIPREP) HIGH PERFORMANCE REINFORCED FIRE-RETARDANT POLYMERS

Funding: China Scholarship CouncilRegion: InternationalProject period: 2015 – 2019Principal Investigator: Dr. De-Yi Wang (deyiwang@imdea.org)The objective of this investigation is to develop high performance reinforced fire-retardant polymers via special molecular design, chemical functionalization

Seminar of Dr. Lorenzo Malerba, from CIEMAT, entitle “On the radiation-induced origin of hardening and embrittlement in nuclear steels” – At 12:30 pm, in the Seminar Room

Abstract: Predicting the changes in macroscopic properties of steels subjected to irradiation is key for the improved and long term safety of nuclear power plants. Because of the inherent complexity of the processes involved, this is a long-lasting challenge for nuclear materials science.

Transversal training

Besides on-the-job technical training, IMDEA Materials Institute is committed to train the Institute’s staff in “soft” or transversal skills. Those competences are relevant to a broad range of occupations and sectors (academic research or teaching career, specialization in a given field or a career

First Year Assessment of Qi Wang, entitle “Design and preparation of nanocarbon/epoxy nanocomposites with advanced flame retardancy and mechanical performance” – In the Seminar Room at 12:00 pm

Abstract: Efforts were paid to obtain nanocarbon/epoxy composites with advanced flame retardancy and mechanical performance, and try to understand the mechanisms. In the first part of the work, when 20 wt% ammonium polyphosphate (APP) in the chosen flame-retardant APP/epoxy composite was replaced

Seminar of Prof. Kostas Danas, from The Ecole Polytechnique (Paris), entitle “Microstructured Magnetorheological Elastomers and Instabilities” -At 12:00 pm in the Seminar Room

Absract: Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are ferromagnetic particle impregnated rubbers whose mechanical properties are altered by the application of external magnetic fields. In addition, these composite materials can deform at very large strains due to the presence of the soft polymeric

First Year Assessment of Richard Schaeufele, entitle “Synthesis and Characterisation of Inorganic Nanowires and their Assembly into Macroscopic Structures” – In the Seminar Room at 12:00 pm

Abstract: SiNWs, which are rod-like structures with diameters between 1-100nm and lengths of up to several tenths of micrometers, are an auspicious approach to enhance solar cells, thermoelectric devices and energy storage devices. Their extremely high aspect ratio (classifi ed as 1D material)

The work “Deformation Mechanism Map of Cu/Nb Nanoscale Metallic Multilayers as a Function of Temperature and Layer Thickness”, done by some of our researchers, has been elected as best paper in structural materials for year 2018 by JOM journal.

IMDEA Materials Institute has received a new award. This time, an article signed by some of its scientists has been chosen as the best published in the international JOM magazine. JOM magazine is the communication organ of the TMS, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society, professional and
