Caracterización de la unión vidrio-metal en la tecnología Glass to Metal Seal y el estudio de nuevos materiales y procesos de fabricación
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 ...
Multiscale mechanical and microstrutural characterization of titanium and zirconium carbonitride hard coatings
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 ...
Chemical design and validation of Ca 2+ -releasing platforms to promote vascularization in tissue regeneration
An insufficient vascularization of the wound site is often the cause of failure in tissue regeneration. The use of cell therapy or growth factors has introduced promising results, nevertheless, they are risky, expensive ...
Mesoporous material systems for catalysis and drug delivery
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 ...
Hot forming behavior of ni-base superalloys and their modeling
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. ...
Development and characterization of mineral-filled (calcium carbonate or talc) polypropylene porous membranes obtained by extrusion
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 ...
Small-scale testing of micromechanical response of cemented carbides
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 ...
Development of microcellular conductive foams based on polyetherimide with graphene nanoplatelets
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 ...
