Abstract: Predictive machine learning (ML) tools can accelerate the discovery of new materials and enable semi or fully autonomous research. In addition, ML tools are playing an increasingly central role in physics-based simulations, enabling a combination of accuracy and computational

Abstract: To this end, full-field mesoscale computational modeling of statistical volume elements and calibration and validation experiments provide a pathway for establishing microstructure-property relationships in additively manufactured parts. However, the fidelity of these relationships is sensitive to the microstructure representation

Abstract: Often the society thinks researchers can do almost everything they want. They imagine that we can convert immediately all our ideas into experiments, even the silliest and strangest ones, without telling anyone or asking permission. And this far from

POLYKEY is a start-up of the Polymat Basque Excellency Research Centre in Spain in 2020. It intends to contribute to the future of polymers with a strategic vision and commitment to innovation and sustainability.

Abstract: When metals are exposed to hydrogen (H)-rich environments, they may lose ductility and fail catastrophically without showing any sign of damage. This problem is known as hydrogen embrittlement (HE). Over the last few decades, extensive research on HE has shown that hydrogen-assisted cracking is a microstructure-sensitive phenomenon.

The PhD defence will take place in the room 3.S01.08, Building Rey Pastor (library), Universidad Carlos III de Madrid – Leganés Campus. It has been advised by Profs. J.LLorca and C. González.

Abstract: The demand for advanced clinical treatments for various soft and hard tissue injuries and diseases has led to the development of innovative biodegradable implant materials. Compared to their non-degrading counterparts, implants made of biodegradable polymers or metals degrade progressively

Abstract: Solid state lithium ion batteries are promising as the next-generation energy storagesystem due to their high energy density, thermal stability, and volumetricminiaturization. Even though, the ionic conductivity of solid state electrolytes is oftenblamed to be the bottle neck of
