Resumen: Next-generation energy and sustainability technologies, such as solid-state batteries, fuel cells and thermoelectrics, require a fundamental understanding of thermal, electronic and ionic transport of the constituent materials to realize successful devices. Although the transport of heat, electrons and ions

Resumen: The cement industry accounts for around 8% of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions today, while industries like copper and aluminum produce slags (residues) in the range of 100 million tons (approx.) annually. Do we have a possible synergy? Our group

Abstract: Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) is a cost-competitive manufacturing process for carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites, used for structural applications that require lightweight design because of their enhanced properties. However, internal cavities and porosities appear at the injection stage due

Resumen: Magnesium alloys, known for their low density and high strength-to-weight ratio, are increasingly important in the aerospace and automotive industries. Understanding the static recrystallisation (SRX) behaviour of these alloys is crucial for optimizing their mechanical properties and manufacturability. This

Resumen: High-performance fiber-reinforced polymer composite have been increasingly used as personnel protection system owning to their high strength and/ or stiffness to weight ratio and good damage tolerance. Amongst, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber/ thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and aramid

Resumen: Electrochemical energy storage technologies have been brought into the spotlight as they provide elegant and efficient approaches to store, transport, and deliver energy harvested from sustainable energy resources.[1-2] The demand for power and energy supply is equally imperative in

Resumen: Mg-alloys are becoming increasingly important based on the technological advantages given their low density compared to current structural metals such as Al- and Fe-based alloys. However, unlike their fcc and bcc counterparts, little has been done to investigate the

La defensa del doctorado tendrá lugar el 25 de junio de 2024, a las 11:30 a.m. en el salón de grados – edificio Padre Soler (campus de Leganés) de la UC3M.

Resumen: By utilizing innovative polymerization techniques involving zero-valent metals and UV light, we have developed radical polymerizations that exhibit low dispersity, high monomer conversion rates, exceptional oxygen tolerance, and minimal catalyst content. These advancements are crucial for streamlining production processes,

Resumen: When metals are exposed to hydrogen (H)-rich environments, they may lose ductility and fail catastrophically without showing any sign of damage. This problem is known as hydrogen embrittlement (HE). Over the last few decades, extensive research on HE has shown that hydrogen-assisted cracking is a microstructure-sensitive phenomenon.
