Biomaterials are traditionally defined as materials that are intended to interact with biological systems, and a number of metals, ceramics, and polymers have been developed over the years as biomaterials for use in medical devices or implants. However, new challenges
Abstract: Magnesium (Mg) is a widely used material in industrial applications due its low weight, ductility and good mechanical properties. For clinical applications such as non-permanent implants Mg is considered as a good option because it is biodegradable and its
Abstract: Rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have become one of the most convenient options for advanced energy storage technologies, getting to dominate the battery market. Nevertheless, they cannot satisfy the ever increasing demand of energy density that is needed for both
The PhD Defense will take place, at 11:00, on next Thuersday, 19 of December, in the Seminar Room of the Department of Materials in the Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos, UPM. The dissertation is entitled “High throughput screening of strength
The PhD Defense will take place, at 12:30, on next Tuesday, 12 of December, in the Seminar Room of the Department of Materials in the Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos, UPM. The dissertation is entitled “Crystal Plasticity Simulation of the
ABSTRACT In this work, following Agoras et al. [1], we develop a homogenization procedure for particulate composites with elasto-viscoplastic constituents. By employing a standard time-discretization scheme for the local stress rate, we show that the associated time-incremental homogenization problem may
Perovskites for hybrid light emitting devices Abstract: Nowadays, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been used in various areas, such as illumination, signals, automotive, mobile appliances, decoration, and so on. Many materials have been used for the LEDs. Perovskites, as a new
Polymer-protein phosphors for optoelectronic applications Abstract: Bio-hybrid light-emitting diodes (Bio-LEDs) are lighting devices merging inorganic light-emitting diodes with fluorescent proteins (FP) acting as both color down-conversion and encapsulation systems. This new lighting concept has been achieved using a new method
Last Friday 15th of November we hosted one of the Technological Knowledge Conferences of ITP aero. These events are organized by the engines and turbines manufacturer in collaboration with its network of research and development centres. The day focused on
The PhD Defense will take place, at 12:00, on next Tuesday, 12 of November, in the building Betancourt in the room “Adoración de Miguel 1.2.C16” of the University Carlos III of Leganes. The dissertation is entitled “Design, Manufacture and Evaluation
Meeting climate targets with both eyes open: How can we meet the growing demand for materials without destroying the environment? Presenter: Dr Ana González Hernández (Emerson) – Sustainability and Decarbonisation Manager. Collaborator and Author: Dr Jonathan M. Cullen (Resource Efficiency

The PhD Defense will take place, at 11:00, on next Wednesday, 6th of November, in the “Sala blanca” (first floor) of the “ETSI Caminos Canales y Puertos”. The dissertation is entitled “Atomistic modeling of the strengthening mechanisms in FCC and
Next 14th and 15th of January 2020, a Winter School on 3D Printing of Metals and Additive Manufacturing will be held at IMDEA Materials’ facilities. The program is divided in two parts: one focused on the Fundamentals and other on
Abstract: Interfacial Modification in Nanocomposites to Tailor FunctionalitiesSAbstract The talk will concentrate on various approaches being used to engineer materials at the nanoscale for various applications in future technologies. In particular, the case of clay, carbon nanostructures (e.g. nanotubes, graphene), metal
Abstract: Physics-based models for fatigue damage. Fatigue failure prognosis requires understanding the mechanical response of materials under myriads of service conditions. Most approaches that predict the response of metals rely on correlations between phenomenological formulations and macroscopic measurements, which demands
Abstract: The project topic is gas phase intercalation of carbon nanotube fibers (CNTFs), with the intention of enhancing their conductivity without introducing defects in the carbon lattice. Furthermore, the main structural parameters of bundles of carbon nanotubes required for an
The aeronautical structures manufactured by composite laminates experience damage as a result of the severe thermal and chemical conditions to which they are subjected during flight. Microcracks are one of the most common manifestations in terms of damage. Therefore, the
