Abstract: A study of the mechanics of nanowire network materials will be carried out in this doctoral thesis, materials that have been sparsely studied due to the vast amount of existing material. For this, experimental methods will be combined with
The PhD defence will take place in “Sala José Echegaray” at the Politechic University of Madrid: Caminos, Canales y Puertos (UPM) How to get there: Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos: Edificio Ciudad Universitaria The dissertation
Abstract: Additive Manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, has revolutionized the production of complex geometries across various materials, including metals, composites, and biomedical products. This seminar will delve into the intricacies of AM, covering the entire process from design
Abstract: Heart failure is a global health challenge that significantly contributes to mortality, comorbidities, and economic burdens. Acute myocardial infarction often leads to chronic heart failure due to the limited regenerative capacity of the human heart. Similarly, non-ischemic heart failure,
Abstract: Since the graphene discovery and its introduction as a wonder material followed by the Nobel Prize awarded in 2010, graphene has attracted the excitement of the scientific community around the world. In last two decades, the interest was focused
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
