Method to obtain metallic particles with microwaves
Application number: EP25382547.5
Date of application: 30/05/2025
Application institution: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas Authors: Santana Otero, Antonio, Fernández Afonso, Yilian, Salvador, María, Morales MP, Veintemillas, Sabino
The method uses continuous synthesis, facilitated by microwaves, to obtain large quantities of copper nanoparticles with improved properties: stability against oxidation, reduced size and high homogeneity in the shape and distribution of the particles. This enables large-scale production of nanoparticles, overcoming traditional challenges associated with copper oxidation and long synthesis times. Additionally, these nanoparticles are dispersible in polar solvents.

Cement and method of hardening a slurry thereof
Application number: EP19383090 / P5003EP00
Date of application: December, 9th, 2019
Summary: Inventors have found that by applying an alternating magnetic field of specific characteristics to a cement slurry containing a relatively small amount of magnetic nanoparticles, such as magnetite nanoparticles, of a determined particle size and degree of crystallinity, the setting process of the cement can be controlled as required. Particularly, with a significantly low amount of magnetic nanoparticles, the required amount of heat is generated in a reduced period of time, such as 15 min, what makes that the cementing process is more cost-effective. Thus, such a cement composition and process are useful for several applications, particularly for well cementing.
