Additive manufacturing, or 3D metal printing, allows to build ultralight and resistant structures with geometries that are impossible to achieve using conventional machining and processing techniques, including complex structures named “lattice”. These are three-dimensional constructions, topologically ordered, formed by the
Abstract: The work presented is the result of a year studying the growth of inorganic nanowires by floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition (FCCVD) with the objective of applying this technique to the synthesis of metal oxide nanowires. The differences between
ABSTRACT: Lattice materials are materials constituted by the repetition of small cells composed of structural units as bars, beams or shells, which form a lattice. The cell geometry can be designed to have an outstanding macroscopic response such as very
The PhD Defense will take place the 21st of June, at 11:30 pm in the “Sala Verde” of the Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos de la UPM. The dissertation is entitled “Analysis of precipitation hardening in metallic
The PhD Defense will take place the 25th of June, at 12:00 pm in the “Sala Verde” of the Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos de la UPM. The dissertation is entitled “Experimental and computational micromechanics of fibre-reinforced
Abstract: Resin transfer molding (RTM) is a closed-mold procedure in the composite manufacturing process. The resin enters the mold from the inlet port, and the gradient pressure of the inlet and outlet makes the flow move into the mold. A
Do you want to develop your career in the field of science and innovation? Would you like to do your Doctorate in a more applied research and closer to the market? Come to see the projects you could work with
Our colleague Andrea Fernández, research assistant in the Composite Materials group, considered “Influencer 20.0”! She has been protagonist of this consideration because of her research to help others and try to make a better world. In the following link you
We already know the winners of the 10th edition of the IMDEA Materials´ scientific imaging contest. This year the best images were: Category of charaterization: With open arms, Monica Echeverry Category of simulation: Solid-liquid interfaces of Al-Cu dendrites growing from
Abstract: Microstructural defects on the atomic level are known to be responsible to the macroscopic deformation of metals. Despite, the study of microstructure-based plasticity of metals is still a great challenge owing to the multiphysics and multiscale nature of plasticity.
Abstract: The quenching and partitioning (Q&P) process is a relatively new heat treatment (2003) aimed at the creation of a multi-phase microstructure of tempered martensite and stabilized retained austenite. This microstructure enhances the mechanical properties of the steel, achieving an
Abstract: A novel series of multilayered nanocomposite materials based on the AlTiN system with high Al content and the addition of B as the successful element for obtaining the amorphous phase are presented. The coatings were grown using co-deposition reactive
The PhD Defense will take place the 22nd of January, at 12:00 AM. The asistance will be remote. The dissertation is entitled “Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) Derived Hierarchical Hybrids as Fire Retardants for Epoxy Composites”
The PhD Defense will take place the 15th of January, at 10:00. The asistance will be remote. The dissertation is entitled “X-Ray Tomographic Investigation of Resin Flow in Liquid Moulding of Composite Materials”.
Abstract: The main objective of this first-year assessment is to establish a strong foundation for the study of the role of microstructural attributes (grain size, twin density, and texture) on the fatigue behavior of the rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy in
ABSTRACT Understanding and describing plastic deformation in polycrystalline materials is fundamentally challenging due to the complex atomic rearrangements that must occur at grain boundaries. Thus, there is a significant need to develop new techniques to study, correlate, and describe deformation
Last Friday, November 27, the Residencia de Estudiantes de Madrid once again hosted the activity that the IMDEA Institutes organize within The European Researchers’ Night in Madrid, coordinated by the Madrimasd Foundation for Knowledge. The activity of -Great Scientists on
Researchers from the 7 IMDEAS institutes will talk about great researchers who have been or could be protagonists on the big screen. Our colleagues Monica Echeverry and Eugenia Nieto will be the protagonists of this great meeting. It will take
