Abstract: Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are being investigated as therapeutic options for diseases involving cartilage and bone damage in osteochondral tissue. In addition, it represents a significant challenge to develop scaffolds to deal with osteochondral lesions due to the

The dissertation, titled “Grain Boundaries in Mg: Formation During Solidification and Their Influence on Deformation”, has been supervised by Prof. Javier LLorca and Dr. Alberto Orozco Caballero. The PhD defense will take place in the Sala Verde of ETSICCP (Escuela

On December 5th, IMDEA Materials will host the workshop “Materials for Better Defense”, an event designed for those interested in discovering how advanced materials are transforming the world of defense. Five experts from IMDEA Materials will lead the session: Dr.

Abstract: Accurate prediction of continuous casting defects is key for cost-efficient processing of new steel grades that meet the needs of modern transportation and energy applications. This presentation will review recent efforts at McMaster University to develop a suite of

Abstract: Thermal gradients during metals additive manufacturing (AM) generate non-equilibrium and complex microstructures, particularly in multi-phase materials. Hence, most current adoptions of AM by various industry sectors continue to rely on alloys with a single dominating matrix phase only. My

Abstract: This work focuses on the synthesis of silicon and tin sulfide nanowires using floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (FCCVD). Suspended in the gas phase, one-dimensional inorganic nanoparticles, such as nanotubes and nanowires, rapidly grow to hundreds of microns within

Abstract: Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) represent a unique class of crystalline, porous materials with highly tunable structures. In recent years, COFs have gained significant attention due to their potential in environmental remediation and clean energy production, particularly in photocatalysis, where

Abstract: Elevated mortality in liver transplantation-waiting list, clinical complications and scarcity of paediatric liver-donors warrant alternatives to liver transplant for treating paediatric-chronic liver diseases (CLD). Liver’s unique intrinsic capacity to regenerate damaged tissue constitutes a potential approach. However, CLD hinders

The defense of the Doctoral Thesis will take place in the “Salón de Grados” from the Faculty of Chemical Sciences of the Complutense University of Madrid. The dissertation is titled «High-throughput computational strategies to discover new catalysts for the Hydrogen

The PhD defense will take place in the José Echegaray Room, School of Civil Engineering (E.T.S. de Ingenieros de Caminos), Polytechnic University. How to get there: Campus, Calle del Prof. Aranguren, 3, 28040 Madrid The dissertation is titled “Accurate Prediction

Abstract: The use of computational modeling has been gaining relevance as a way to reduce cost, time and resources in the innovation process of the battery industry. There are many types of models with varying complexity and scale. However, what

Abstract: Silicon solar cells have dominated the science and market for solar cells. Their efficiency was boosted after the passivation of their surface and minimised charge losses at the interface, allowing better contacts to extract the photoelectrical current. In molecular solar

The PhD defence will take place in the “Padre Soler” Building (Leganés Campus) of the Carlos III University of Leganes (UC3M) The dissertation is titled «Developing new high entropy alloys for high temperature applications using advanced powder metallurgy routes and

Abstract: Next-generation energy and sustainability technologies, such as solid-state batteries, fuel cells and thermoelectrics, require a fundamental understanding of thermal, electronic and ionic transport of the constituent materials to realize successful devices. Although the transport of heat, electrons and ions

Abstract: The cement industry accounts for around 8% of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions today, while industries like copper and aluminum produce slags (residues) in the range of 100 million tons (approx.) annually. Do we have a possible synergy? Our group

Abstract: Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) is a cost-competitive manufacturing process for carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites, used for structural applications that require lightweight design because of their enhanced properties. However, internal cavities and porosities appear at the injection stage due

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
