Abstract: Functional polymer composites are applied in various fields in industry and daily lives. To overcome the main weakness of polymer materials, the high sensitivity to fire and other high temperature sources, flame retardancy is requested to the polymer composites.
Abstract: The fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are gaining increasing popularity due to their high strength to weight ratio, weight reduction properties. However, the heat/fire vulnerability of polymer-bsased tructural composites brings abrupt mechanical properties reduction with heat, smoke, toxic release, and
ABSTRACT: This First Year Assesment is focused on the development of biodegradable self-feinforced composites to be used in biomedical applications. Self-reinforced composites are considered a new class of composites in which a single type of polymer (or family) acts as
Within the framework of the different initiatives of the IMDEA Materials´ Industrial Advisory Board (IAB), we are pleased to invite you to the talk of Jaime Fernández Castañeda, Head of Research and Technology of ITP Aero. The talk, entitled “The
The PhD Defense will take place the 15th of October, at 11:00 am in the “Sala de Grados, modulo 8, Facultad de Ciencias” of the Autonomous University of Madrid. The dissertation is entitled “Nanoscale engineered electrode materials for high performance
On Friday, 4th of October, Jorge Valilla will present his FYA entitled “Physical and thermodynamic simulation of Functionally Graded Materials”. It will be a fully remote (zoom) event, at 4:30 pm: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86733563907 Abstract: With the up and coming interest for additive manufacturing (AM) of
Abstract: Catalysts design has been one of the most relevant issues for the hydrogen economy during decades, especially for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). These catalytic processes are controlled by the electronic structure of
Abstract: High entropy alloys (HEAs) have recently garnered significant research attention due to the variety of properties they offer, including high strength, fracture resistance, thermal stability, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and irradiation resistance. When it comes to processing of HEAs,
Abstract The boost experienced by acoustic and mechanical metamaterial research during the past years has been driven by the ability to sculpture the flow of sound waves and vibrations at will. Metamaterials, which come in all kinds of shapes and
Abstract: The particular research interest of the speaker is the design and development of well-defined nanostructured materials and studying their structure-activity relationships for sustainable energy related catalytic transformations. After a brief introduction, the focus of the first part of the
The defense will be carried out online on Tuesday, September 7th, 2021, at 12:00 pm. It was advised by Prof. Vinodkumar Etacheri.
Abstract Metallic materials are of interest in the healthcare sector because they can be used for multiple applications including as biodegradable implants and as antimicrobial touch surfaces for hospitals and other healthcare settings. With an ever-increasing demand for materials that
Additive manufacturing, or 3D metal printing, allows to build ultralight and resistant structures with geometries that are impossible to achieve using conventional machining and processing techniques, including complex structures named “lattice”.
Abstract: The work presented is the result of a year studying the growth of inorganic nanowires by floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition (FCCVD) with the objective of applying this technique to the synthesis of metal oxide nanowires. The differences between
ABSTRACT: Lattice materials are materials constituted by the repetition of small cells composed of structural units as bars, beams or shells, which form a lattice. The cell geometry can be designed to have an outstanding macroscopic response such as very
The PhD Defense will take place the 21st of June, at 11:30 pm in the “Sala Verde” of the Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos de la UPM. The dissertation is entitled “Analysis of precipitation hardening in metallic
The PhD Defense will take place the 25th of June, at 12:00 pm in the “Sala Verde” of the Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos de la UPM. The dissertation is entitled “Experimental and computational micromechanics of fibre-reinforced
Abstract: Resin transfer molding (RTM) is a closed-mold procedure in the composite manufacturing process. The resin enters the mold from the inlet port, and the gradient pressure of the inlet and outlet makes the flow move into the mold. A
