ITP Aero and IMDEA Materials collaborate in an R&D program named ENVIDIA, whose goal is the development of software capable of simulating the production of aeronautic components by additive manufacturing technologies. The activities in this program began in mid 2018,
A team of Spanish engineers has succeeded in creating a magnesium-based scaffold that makes it possible to reconstruct large bone fragments. The new device, under study, is non-toxic, biodegradable and does not generate rejection. In addition, it allows the regeneration
Madrid is the Spanish region that invests the most in research and development (1.71% of region gross domestic product). Behind these numbers there are thousands of hours devoted to understand the world around us and to find solutions to societal
3.100 research & development projects per year are carried out in Madrid region, which makes it an international reference in research thanks to the work of its fourteen universities, the eight health research institutes, as well as the seven Madrid
In the MSCA IF ENERYARN project, Dr. Anastasiia Mikhalchan worked on the development of CNT yarn-stretching strategies and new ways of studying energy-storing composite materials. The new methods addressed the alignment problem. Using them, the researchers team demonstrated that fabrics
Teresa Pérez-Prado, head of the Physical Metallurgy group, talks in the program “Gente Despierta” from RNE about the potential of 3D printing. You can listen to the interview here (starting at minute 5:30)
Juan José Vilatela, leader of the Multifunctional Nanocomposites group and recent recipient of a Proof of Concept Grant of the European Research Council, talks in the program “Marca España” from RNE, about the potential of the silicon based electrodes developed
The batteries produced with this new material will make it possible to lighten the vehicles, increase the distance they can travel and reduce charging time. A group of researchers from the IMDEA Materials Institute in Madrid, led by Juan José
The document has been elaborated by the Spanish Aerospace Technological Platform (PAE), with the support of a working group led by Aernnova and formed by ACITURRI, AIMPLAS, AIRBUS, AIRGRUP, AIMEN, CEIT, COMET Ingeniería, EHU/CFAA, FIDAMC, HEROUX-DEVTEK, ITP AERO, OBUU Tech
The project ENTENTE (European Database for Multiscale Modelling of Radiation Damage) has started on the 1st of September 2020 and it will last 48 months. The aim of this project is to design a new European experimental/modelling materials database to
The current design of composite materials follows a trial and error approach based on an expensive and time consuming testing pyramid that costs industry millions of euros and years of development each time a new composite material is introduced in
The aim of the DELIGHTED project is to gain fundamental understanding of principles of microstructural design for engineering of perspective austenitic lightweight steels to reach the combination of mechanical and performance properties suitable for applications. To read more about the
The Multi-FAM project proposes the combination of materials with different functionalities, the additive manufacturing process by direct laser deposition (DED) and thermodynamic and process simulation, as enabling technologies to obtain multi-material and multifunctional 3D parts for direct application in steel
We are helping ITP Aero to produce the IPT (Intermediate Pressure Turbine) casing for the future Rolls-Royce UltraFan engine. So far, we have carried out the characterisation of the behaviour of the astroloy at containment and impact. Read more here.
Our colleague María Teresa Pérez Prado has been appointed as a member of the International Advisory Board of the European Space Agency (ESA). She will support the Agency as part of the Physical Sciences Working Group, particularly concerning their activities
Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) is set to disrupt manufacturing as we know it. It is an engineering solution that spans across simulation disciplines and goes one step further in helping to tackle the challenges OEMs face in producing the
We are delighted to announce the launch of the IMDEA Materials 2019 report, available now for download. This annual report is designed to give you an overview of the Institute and main achievements in 2019. You will also find a
We are glad to announce the second episode of the IMDEA Materials Institute webinar series, that will take place the 27th of May at 12.00 pm Madrid time Damien Tourret, Researcher at IMDEA Materials & Marie Skłodowska Curie fellow (CINEMA,
