Calvo de la Rosa, Jaume (Fecha de defensa: 2019-10-25)
This doctoral Thesis has been focused on the preparation of magnetic materials by different methods, the characterization of their structural characteristics, and the understanding of their mechanical and magnetic properties. ...
Ozaeta Laverde, Pablo (Fecha de defensa: 2017-07-12)
Natural Gas with more than 80% methane has a liquefaction temperature around -165 ° C. Temperature at which the gas reduces its volume by a factor of 600/1. This operating temperature makes the use of ferritic materials ...
Cuko, Andy (Fecha de defensa: 2018-09-24)
Properties of nanomaterials are known to be size dependent and generally are very different from those of the corresponding bulk. Such behaviour, which is strongly system and structure dependent, allows one to tune material’s ...
Alonso Benito, Gerard (Fecha de defensa: 2019-11-29)
Two main topics are treated in this doctoral thesis from a theoretical and computational point of view: the gas capture and separation from post-combustion flue gases, and the enhanced oil recovery from oil reservoirs. The ...
Prats Garcia, Hèctor (Fecha de defensa: 2019-03-25)
The research work presented in this thesis is divided in two main topics: gas separation and heterogeneous catalysis. Although the systems studied in one part and another are quite different, they share two fundamental ...
Oriol López, Roger (Fecha de defensa: 2023-10-23)
[eng] Groundwater has been traditionally considered a reliable source of freshwater. However, the low replenishment rates and the increasing contamination due to different anthropogenic activities, such as the use of ...
Svobodova, Adela (Fecha de defensa: 2022-07-19)
For the development of more compact and efficient thermal systems, nanofluids are presented as a promising option to replace conventional heat transfer fluids. Nanofluids are a suspension of low concentration of nanoparticles ...
Majó Robles, Marc (Fecha de defensa: 2024-07-02)
[eng] The world's energy dilemma, balancing supply and demand, finds a potential solution in energy storage technologies. Energy storage systems store excess energy during low-demand periods for later use. This approach ...
Saranjam, Leila (Fecha de defensa: 2023-10-30)
[eng] A compound’s solvent−water partition coefficient (log P) measures the equilibrium ratio of the compound’s concentrations in a two-phase system: as two solvents in contact or a system of micelles in an aqueous ...
Quezada Reyes, Víctor Alejandro (Fecha de defensa: 2021-01-29)
La producción chilena de cobre procede de la hidrometalurgia y la concentración; el concentrado de cobre es tratado tradicionalmente mediante pirometalurgia. De acuerdo a Cochilco, el cobre producido en el año 2019, vía ...
Ye, Zhihong (Fecha de defensa: 2019-11-29)
Organic micropollutants, including pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PCPs), pesticides, dyes and many other industrial chemicals have become one of the most solid barriers for the effective and safe wastewater ...
Mondelo-Martell, Manel (Fecha de defensa: 2018-06-18)
Quantum confinement effects, understood as the changes on the structure and dynamics of a molecule when it goes from a free environment to a cavity with some characteristic length of the order of the nanometer, represent ...
Alcón Rovira, Isaac (Fecha de defensa: 2018-03-14)
In this PhD thesis I have studied through state-of-the-art quantum simulations (mainly within the density functional theory approach, DFT) triarylmethyl (TAM) based systems with potential for future nano-devices and designed ...
Francese, Tommaso (Fecha de defensa: 2019-03-25)
In this work, we characterized and studied the properties associated to DTA-based bistable organic molecular magnetic systems, namely PDTA and TDPDTA, respectively. In both cases, the low and high temperature phases have ...
Bedoya Escobar, Juliana (Fecha de defensa: 2017-07-12)
La proyección fría es una técnica de proyección térmica que permite la obtención de recubrimientos metálicos y metal/cerámicos con estructuras densas (porosidad inferior a 0,1%) y libres de óxidos. De manera general, ésta ...
Garcia Cardona, Júlia (Fecha de defensa: 2023-12-04)
[eng] Conventional catalysts for polymer electrolyte fuel cells are based on Pt supported on porous carbons, generally carbon blacks. However, Pt is expensive and scarce and is poisoned by CO, which is present in the ...
Gumí Audenis, Berta (Fecha de defensa: 2018-04-27)
Biological membranes (BMs) are self-sealing boundaries, which confine the permeability barriers of cells and organelles and provide the means to compartmentalize functions. Apart from being crucial for the cell structure, ...
Calderón Díaz, Alejandro (Fecha de defensa: 2019-10-24)
Renewable energies have a major role in today’s energy systems development, energy security and climate change fight. Thermal Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) has the potential to get up to 11.3% of world’s electricity ...
Blancafort Jorquera, Miquel (Fecha de defensa: 2019-11-15)
The study of superfluid helium has been carried out mainly by physicists. In recent years, taking advantage of the potentialities presented by superfluid helium nanodroplets (HeNDs) as inert matrices at very low temperatures ...
Climent Biescas, Claudia (Fecha de defensa: 2017-07-07)
In this thesis, different organic and organometallic molecules with interest for optoelectronic applications have been studied from a computational standpoint. The work presented in this thesis belongs to the molecular ...
