Abstract Platinum-based materials are highly active as the electrocatalysts both in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells, but high cost limits its wide applications. In this talk, the reporter summarized the recent research progress
The PhD Defense will take place on next Tuesday (23rd, January), at 12 noon, in the Sala Verde (first floor) in the Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos, UPM The link below shows the address of the School: https://www.google.es/maps/place/UPM+-+Escuela+T%C3%A9cnica+Superior+de+Ingenieros+de+Caminos,+Canales+y+Puertos/@40.4467369,-3.7340372,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0xd42283192e73a23:0x17ad49d3b682dcda!8m2!3d40.4467369!4d-3.7318432?hl=en
ABSTRACT Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is extensively used in the production of fibers and films and now increasingly used as container material for soft drink due to its outstanding characteristics of high strength, good flexibility, and thermal stability, but their uses
Abstract Fire hazards including the generation of heat, smoke and toxic vapor, cost a great number of lives and damage properties. Compared with natural polymers, the high flammability and the widespread use of synthetic polymers lead to serious safety and
The defense of the PhD thesis of Mr. Alberto Palomares, entitled “Micromechanics of fully lamellar TiAl alloys: effect of lamellar orientation and width”, supervised by Dr. Jon Molina Aldareguia and Dr. Teresa Pérez Prado, will take place tomorrow Thursday, December 21st
Decentralized Chemical Sensing: From materials to real world applications My group works at the interface of fundamental and applied chemical science and our aim is to solve real problems that human society is facing or will be facing soon. There
Abstract: Recycling of composites by recovering carbon fibres of cured prepregs, and their re-use in hybrid laminates by Andrea Fernández Gorgojo The applications of composite materials are rapidly growing in several sectors. For example, in the aeronautical sector, composites can
The PRISMS Framework: An Integrated Predictive Multi-Scale ICME Capability for the Global Materials Community John Allison University of Michigan, Ann Arbor MI The Center for PRedictive Integrated Structural Materials Science (PRISMS) is a major Materials Genome Initiative effort creating a
Abstract Flame retardants are going to be such an important component in future Lithium-based batteries. However, these flame retardants have a major problem: they decrease the conductivity values of electrolytes. During this project we have been trying to use some
ABSTRACT The increasingly demanding environmental and safety goals imposed to the automotive industry have fostered fierce competition to develop new multi-phase steel types that are stronger, tougher, more formable, and fatigue-resistant. Among the various approaches in study, steels processed via
The winner is Miguel Ángel Valdés on his winner project entitled “Ultra-rapid processing of advanced high strength steels”.
En esta ocasión, smartLIGHITNG y el Instituto IMDEA Materiales, tiene el placer de invitarle a la presentación en absoluta primicia del BioLED, una tecnología que va acaparando premios y reconocimientos por todo el mundo de distintas organizaciones, como la

Abstract: In this study, nanoengineered pseudocapacitive electrodes are developed for superior Na-ion storage. Main aim is to induce defect-driven pseudocapacitive Na-ion storage in insertion and conversion type anodes. Hybrid anatase-bronze TiO2 nanosheets composed of Nanocrystallites of 65% anatase and 35%
ABSTRACT: The susceptibility to delamination is one of the main concerns in fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPs), while carbon nanotubes (CNT) carry the promise of enhancing this poor out-of-plane mechanical performance. This work reviews the progress to date towards methods
Abstract Conducting redox polymers (CRPs) are composed of a conducting polymer (CP) backbone and redox active functional groups (RGs) and they provide an attractive option as organic matter based electrical energy storage materials. The CP backbone renders the material conductive
ABSTRACT Microbial Electrochemical Tehnologies (MET) are a recent research field related to environmental biotechnology. The main concept for its development is related to the ability of the microorganisms of producing electricity from organic matter degradation, using an insoluble electron acceptor
