Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya
La Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Barcelona Tech (UPC) és una institució pública de recerca i d'educació superior en els àmbits de l'enginyeria, l'arquitectura i les ciències.
L’activitat dels seus campus i centres fan de la UPC un punt de referència i, en complicitat amb el teixit productiu, són agent i motor de canvi econòmic i social, en posar en valor la recerca bàsica i aplicada i transferir tecnologia i coneixement a la societat.
Els investigadors i investigadores de la UPC treballen des dels laboratoris i centres de recerca per augmentar la producció científica, valoritzar-la socialment a través de la transferència de resultats i continuar liderant projectes internacionals d’excel·lència, ja sigui a partir d’iniciatives pròpies o en col·laboració amb altres centres de recerca i universitats d’arreu del món.

Cemented carbides, also referred to as hardmetals, are composite materials consisting of brittle refractory carbide phase (generally WC) embedded in a metallic matrix. Such microstructure leads to an outstanding combination ...
Bone has a natural ability to regenerate. However, it cannot bridge large defects without the additional help of a supporting material. Among the different synthetic bone grafts, calcium phosphates (CaPs) are excellent ...
This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms which govern the development of dense defect networks in nanoscale crystal plasticity, either under contact and uniaxial loading conditions, with emphasis on the ...
Hard coating 's thermal stability is essential due to the high temperature environment of high-speed cutting applications, while the induced phase and microstructure evolution affects the mechanical properties. In this ...
The present work addresses two different applications enabled by a specific and useful property of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs): injectability. On the one hand minimally invasive procedures involving the use of CPCs ...
Tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia stabilized with 3% mol of yttria (3Y-TZP) is a popular bioceramic, increasingly used for dental applications thanks to its good mechanical properties, biocompatibility and aesthetic ...
Nowadays, cardiovascular diseases are mainly treated by implantation of a metallic or polymeric mesh, called stent, which maintains the artery widely open. This technique shows very good clinical results, however, it exists ...
Bone is among the most transplanted tissues for regeneration of bone defects, caused by trauma, age-related bone loss or bone infections. Due to their similar characteristics to the mineral phase of bone, calcium phosphates ...
Bone is the most transplanted tissue after blood. As pointed out by the World Health Organization, musculoskeletal diseases can potentially rise as the fourth largest cause of disability within the next years. Unfortunately, ...
Tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia, commonly stabilised with 3 mol% yttria (3Y-TZP), became one of the most interesting ceramics for biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility and high mechanical properties. Among ...
PLA nanocomposites sheets that is rnodified with multi-functional epoxide reactive agent (Joncryi4300F, BASF, Germany) were manufacturad using reactive extrusion in a pilot plant. A commercial grade of PLA (PLA 40320, ...
Material engineering has always played a defining role in industry by improving materials and tribological properties, increasing lite time use and thus ultimately reducing material costs. Over the last two decades, ...
Polymers have a wide range of applications. Their ability to be shaped into multiple forms makes it possible to obtain polymer films, which are highly used in industries such as food and pharmaceuticals. Characterization ...
In this thesis, we study the improvement of the UV protection of polyester textiles by introducing nano or microparticles of TiO2 in the polyester during the extrusion of the yarn. Initially, the influence of different ...
The aim of the present thesis is to fabricate, to applicate, and to integrate nanomaterial-based chemical sensors with electrochemical transduction for the detection of water pollutants. This work is divided in 7 Chapters, ...
The present PhD thesis is framed within the Industrial Doctorate Plan promoted by the Generalitat de Catalunya and has been developed in cooperation between the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-BarcelonaTech, the Centre ...
In the current thesis, two TWIP steels with different chemical composition were successfully subjected to Severe Plastic Deformation with Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) at warm temperature (300°C), using a die with ...
A problem is not a problem anymore if no solution exists; therefore, in the present dissertation, a novel manufacturing technique, the In Situ Forming of a Liquid Infused Preform (ISFLIP), is proposed as a solution to some ...
Physical vapor deposited hard coatings comprised of cubic (c) transition metal (TM)-Al-N, and (TM)-Si-N are the current work horse materials for a large number of metal cutting and wear resistant applicatíons to light ...
Titanium dental implants are a commonly used solution for the replacement of lost teeth. Even though the success rate is high, the number of infections related to the placement of the implant is still remarkable and may ...
