Titanium (Ti) has been used for decades for bone prostheses due to its mechanical performance and good biocompatibility. However, the stress shielding effect, as a result of the stiffness mismatch between titanium and the ...
One of the techniques to make porous membranes from polymers is based on the stretching a polymer film containing a row-nucleated !amellar structure.This special crystalline structure may be achieved using a processing ...
(English) The restoration of the functionality of lost teeth is mainly accomplished placing dental implants. However, in the case of alveolar bone atrophies, this treatment might not be possible. Various treatments have ...
Labels misplacement in the bottles are currently causing problems in wine cellar's labelling lines. According to data provided by Codorníu and Torres cellars, 1% of the bottles present this issue. Once the wine or cava ...
(English) In recent years, numerous studies have been carried out on functional textiles due to their ability to adapt and interact with the environment. In particular, special focus has been placed on dynamic textiles ...
Titanium (Ti) and Ti alloys have been used for decades for bone implants and prostheses due to its mechanical reliability and good biocompatibility. However, implant-related infections, lack of osseointegration with the ...
The aim of this dissertation was to develop and investigate novel cellular foams based on polyetherimide (PEI) and carbonbased nanoparticles such as, graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) and carbon nanotubes (CNT), using two main ...
This dissertation investigates the three-stage method MEAUS (melt-extrusion, annealing, and uniaxial stretching) for producing microporous membranes. This method for membrane preparation is a solvent-free process based on ...
(English) The automotive industry is constantly seeking to improve the performance of the car and at the same time reduce CO2 emissions into the environment, which can be achieved among other solutions through the use of ...
(English) Pre-salt oil exploration means a new development path for Brazil. This activity stimulates investments from national and foreign companies, boosts the production of technology, promotes greater professional ...
Numerical and experimental simulation of engineering materials has been an emerging topic for recent decades. Reliable and efficient numerical simulations are only possible through correct and pragmatic modeling approaches. ...
In this thesis the polyester dyeing at low temperatures has been assessed with two different methods: exhaustion method and thermosol method. Exhaustion dyeing process was performed with high and low molecular-weight ...
(English) Bone is the second most frequent tissue transplantation right after blood transfusion. Although it has natural self-healing abilities, bone grafts are required in critical size defects to provide mechanical ...
This study evolved to its last form primarily around the development of a hybrid material is the core of the work. This hybrid material is then further explored for two different applications which are catalysis and drug ...
This thesis is dedicated to understanding the micromechanical properties of multiphase materials which are indispensable in today’s engineering applications. The mechanical behavior of these materials is dictated by the ...
(English) AlCrSiN quaternary coatings are extensively utilized in the tool industry due to their outstanding mechanical performance as protective coatings. These coatings are formed by introducing elements of Al and Si to ...
The present dissertation is an in-depth investigation from the macro to atomic scale of industrial wear-resistant CVD hard coatings deposited on cemented carbides for cutting tool applications. Micro-compression tests at ...
(English) The transition towards to low carbon energy generation is promoting the installation of renewable energy sources, their successful deployment requires efficient energy storage systems in order to meet demand. ...
Automotive designers are constantly facing new challenges to meet the more and more stringent safety and CO2 emission legislations. Concerning the latter, vehicle lightweighting has become one of the main goals of the ...
The present PhD thesis is framed within a collaborative project in which institutions such as the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Barcelona-Tech, the Centre Català del Plàstic and SEAT S.A have participated. The main ...
