The PhD Defense will take place, at 12:00, on next Monday 29th of July, in the Civil Engineering School of the UPM (Sala Verde Caminos). The dissertation is entitled “A study of the factors influencing air removal in Out-of-Autoclave processing
Abstract: Titanium and its alloys are important engineering materials due to their low density, high strength, and good bio-compatibility. The study of critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) values of basal, prismatic, and pyramidal ⟨c + a⟩ slip systems has been
I Abstract Synchrotron x-ray–based imaging techniques, such as radiography and tomography, have reached sufficient spatio-temporal resolution that they are now used almost routinely to investigate solidification in technologically important systems such as steel, Ni, Al, and other alloy systems. Studies
The PhD Defense will take place, at 12:00, on next Tuesday 18th of June, in Carlos III University (Leganes) in the “Aula de Grados Padre Soler” The dissertation is entitled “Effect of Graphene Nanoplatelets and Carbon Nanotubes in PEEK and
Abstract Magnesium batteries are superior to all the known battery systems owing to its substantially larger volumetric capacity, environmental benignity, electrochemical stability and lower cost. This study is focused on the improving the electrochemical characteristics of Magnesium based batteries. In
Decades of academic research has gone into developing ultrafine eutectic and near-eutectic alloys of the systems Ti-Fe-Sn-Nb, Ti-Fe-Co, Fe-Ti-Si, Fe-Ti-Zr-B, etc., with remarkable mechanical properties. However, no conventional casting process exists that can provide high enough cooling rates necessary for

Abstract: Virtual testing by means of progressive damage and failure analysis (PDFA) of composite structures holds the promise of reducing the timeline for certification of composite structures by complementing experimental testing. The focus of this talk is on recent investigations
The PhD Defense will take place, at 12:00, on next Thursday 28th of March, in the Seminar Room of the “Escuela de Caminos, Canales y Puertos” of the UPM. The dissertation is entitled “Fast Mapping of Microstructure and Mechanical Properties
From the 28th to the 31st of March, the Fair Madrid for Science and Innovation will be held at the Trade Fair Institution of Madrid (IFEMA) within the framework of the education week. IMDEA Materials participates actively in this important
The PhD Defense will take place, at 11:30, on next Monday 25th of March, in Carlos III University (Leganes) in the classroom 3.S1.08. The dissertation is entitled “Development of new Cr-based hardmetals by liquid phase sintering and spark plasma sintering”.
Abstract: Metastable β titanium alloys constitute a promising family of alloys due to their high specific strength, high damage tolerance, workability, hardenability as well as corrosion resistance that has attracted great attention worldwide. However, their deformation mechanisms still remain controversial,
Abstract: Grain boundaries (GB) are generally considered as static obstacles to dislocations and sinks for point defects and their clusters. But, in fact, the processes that take place at GBs is more complex and can reveal properties directly related to
ABSTRACT The Thermodynamics of Irreversible Processes (TPI) applied to the mechanics of materials boomed significantly in France in the 60s and 70s, under the impulse of Paul Germain. The formalization of the Generalized Standard Materials, proposed in 1975 by Bernard
Abstract: Cells respond not only to biochemical but also to physical cues, such as stiffness, geometry and matrix degradability. In-vitro studies showed that hydrogel elasticity or degradation properties alone can direct cell differentiation, while scaffold geometry can control tissue growth
Abstract: Evolution has provided us with the most abundant and versatile source of materials. In my talk, I will show how proteins can be used as labels and as building blocks. We will explore how an enzyme can be mutated
The PhD Defense will take place, at 11:30, on next Thursday 21st of February, in Carlos III University (Leganes) in the classroom 7.01.H01. The dissertation is entitled “Development and optimization of the properties of gamma/gamma´ co-based superalloys for high temperature
