Abstract: The active materials used in current LIBs fall short in energetic terms due to their limited uptake of Li, so further development of these materials is needed. In contrast to the insertion materials usually used in the LIBs, alloy
Resumen: Nanocomposite materials based on a polymer matrix and nanomaterials (as Graphene Nanoplateletes, 2D clays or Metal Organic Frameworks) acting as additives are an exciting type of materials that bring the opportunity to create plastics with better properties (mechanical, thermal,
The PhD defence will take place in the “Salon de Grados” of the Montegancedo Campus (Boadilla) where the Facultad de Informática is based (ETSI). The dissertation is entitled «Advanced deep Learning technologies for the smart manufacturing of structural composites». It was
Abstract: Honeycomb has fascinated humans for millennia. It is a naturally engineered structure that serves as storage for the bees, a place for the queen to lay eggs, rear their brood, among a multitude of additional functions. Even though honeycomb
Abstract Titanium alloys are widely employed in aerospace applications owing to superior properties such as a high specific strength and a good corrosion resistance. In particular, the variety of dual phase microstructures obtained through different thermo-mechanical processing routes enables tailoring
Abstract Functional and structural parts, made so far with metals, have been progressively reengineeredby replacing metallic materials by discontinuous fibre reinforced polymers and continuous fibrereinforced composites. Polymer composites are usually divided into two groups, advanced (orhigh performance) composites and engineering
Abstract: Floating Catalyst Chemical Vapor Deposition (FCCVD) is a method for the synthesis of 1D nanoparticles, i.e., nanotubes and nanowires, in the aerosol phase. Specifically, 1-D nanoparticles grow on the surface of spherical catalyst nanoparticles while floating through a gas
Abstract:Powder Bed Fusion – Laser Beam (PBF-LB) paved the way for developing the next-generation alloys achieving unique properties that could not be guaranteed with the traditional manufacturing routes. The conventional metal alloys utilised for cast and wrought processes did not
Abstract: Reconstructing the morphology of aerogels presents significant challenges if 3D visualizations of their mesoporous nanostructure are desired. Available microscopic and tomographic tools find it difficult to probe into all types of aerogels for the purposes of reconstructing their 3D
Abstract: We all are very familiar with graphene and carbon nanotubes and their extraordinary electronic and mechanical properties. Both materials are composed of sp2 carbon atoms; their structures look very similar locally but exhibit different properties due to the way
Abstract: Systems with broken continuous symmetry in ideal lattices cannot be rectified through rearrangement or deformation. Topological metamaterials featuring nontrivial, artificially induced phase transitions have emerged as pivotal constituents for engineering these topological defects, which, until now, have mostly been

On Friday, September 29, in the auditorium of the Madrid Student Residence, researchers from the IMDEA Institutes will tell us what lines of research and what specific projects are being developed in their centers, directly linked to one of the
The PhD Defense will take place at 10:30 am, in the room 3.S01.08, Building Rey Pastor (library), Universidad Carlos III de Madrid – Leganés Campus. The dissertation is entitled “Bioabsorbable composite laminates of PLA reinforced with surface-modified Mg wires for
The PhD Defense will take place at 11:00 am, in the Sala Echegaray, E. T. S. de Ingenieros de Caminos, Ciudad Universitaria, Madrid. The dissertation is entitled “Fatigue behavior and fatigue crack initiation micromechanisms of rolled AZ31 Mg alloy”. It
Abstract: The structures of materials play a critical role in defining their unique properties and applications. In particular, the engineering of materials to enhance their performance or understand their defect, dislocation, impurity, or catalytic activity requires knowledge of atomistic-level structures.
