Abstract: Magnesium alloys, known for their low density and high strength-to-weight ratio, are increasingly important in the aerospace and automotive industries. Understanding the static recrystallisation (SRX) behaviour of these alloys is crucial for optimizing their mechanical properties and manufacturability. This

Abstract: High-performance fiber-reinforced polymer composite have been increasingly used as personnel protection system owning to their high strength and/ or stiffness to weight ratio and good damage tolerance. Amongst, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber/ thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and aramid

Abstract: Electrochemical energy storage technologies have been brought into the spotlight as they provide elegant and efficient approaches to store, transport, and deliver energy harvested from sustainable energy resources.[1-2] The demand for power and energy supply is equally imperative in

Abstract:  Mg-alloys are becoming increasingly important based on the technological advantages given their low density compared to current structural metals such as Al- and Fe-based alloys. However, unlike their fcc and bcc counterparts, little has been done to investigate the

The PhD will take place on june 25th, 2024, at 11:30 am in  salón de grados – padre soler building (leganés campus) of uc3m

Abstract: By utilizing innovative polymerization techniques involving zero-valent metals and UV light, we have developed radical polymerizations that exhibit low dispersity, high monomer conversion rates, exceptional oxygen tolerance, and minimal catalyst content. These advancements are crucial for streamlining production processes,

Abstract: Recent advances in multifunctional materials are revolutionizing various fields, such as biomedicine, soft robotics and smart sensors. The ability to model and predict the behavior of these materials in different physical interactions is crucial. In this regard, multiphysics modeling

Abstract: Electrochemical energy storage systems with high energy density, safety, affordability, and a low carbon footprint are essential in today’s world of widespread electronics, electric vehicles, and grid storage. Li-ion batteries have become the leading rechargeable battery technology, surpassing others

Abstract: Professor Sudesh Sivarasu leads the University of Cape Town (UCT) MedTech laboratory. Prof Sivarasu is one of the best known in the field of medical device innovation both nationally and internationally. He has been named a prolific inventor by

Abstract: Predictive machine learning (ML) tools can accelerate the discovery of new materials and enable semi or fully autonomous research. In addition, ML tools are playing an increasingly central role in physics-based simulations, enabling a combination of accuracy and computational

Abstract: To this end, full-field mesoscale computational modeling of statistical volume elements and calibration and validation experiments provide a pathway for establishing microstructure-property relationships in additively manufactured parts. However, the fidelity of these relationships is sensitive to the microstructure representation

Abstract: Often the society thinks researchers can do almost everything they want. They imagine that we can convert immediately all our ideas into experiments, even the silliest and strangest ones, without telling anyone or asking permission. And this far from

POLYKEY is a start-up of the Polymat Basque Excellency Research Centre in Spain in 2020. It intends to contribute to the future of polymers with a strategic vision and commitment to innovation and sustainability.

Abstract: When metals are exposed to hydrogen (H)-rich environments, they may lose ductility and fail catastrophically without showing any sign of damage. This problem is known as hydrogen embrittlement (HE). Over the last few decades, extensive research on HE has shown that hydrogen-assisted cracking is a microstructure-sensitive phenomenon.

The PhD defence will take place in the room 3.S01.08, Building Rey Pastor (library), Universidad Carlos III de Madrid – Leganés Campus. It has been advised by Profs. J.LLorca and C. González.

Abstract: The demand for advanced clinical treatments for various soft and hard tissue injuries and diseases has led to the development of innovative biodegradable implant materials. Compared to their non-degrading counterparts, implants made of biodegradable polymers or metals degrade progressively

Abstract: Solid state lithium ion batteries are promising as the next-generation energy storagesystem due to their high energy density, thermal stability, and volumetricminiaturization. Even though, the ionic conductivity of solid state electrolytes is oftenblamed to be the bottle neck of
