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 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: 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

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
