This doctoral thesis has been carried out at the company VAC-TRON S.A., together with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, in the Besós (EEBE) and Vilanova i la Geltrú ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
The current thesis takes place within the context of the projects MAT2016-80045-R "Aplicaciones industriales de compuestos y mezclas basados en REX-PLA" and the project "PLAIABS Blends: Recydability and weight reduction" ...
Plastic based materials are widely used for packaging applications. However, disposal of such petroleum-based materials e.g. polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) has become a huge threat to the environment due to its ...
Cemented carbides are composite materials widely used in different industry fields within applications involving wear, due to their outstanding wear resistance. The most commonly used are WC-Co grades, for Co wettability ...
The aging heat treatments in maraging steels are fundamental to achieving their excellent mechanical properties and, in some applications using oxidation surface treatments lead to induce a superficial layer formed by iron ...
This PhD Thesis tallies with the Starting Grant project funded by the European Research Council (ERC) entitled “Atmospheric Pressure plAsma meets biomaterials for bone Cancer HEaling” (APACHE) and has been carried out ...
(English) Ultrasonic moulding is a promising technology that could be used as a substitute for conventional injection moulding techniques. This relatively new technology has a lower energy consumption, and it could be a ...
