The group specialises in the design of new materials with a range of application-specific properties. Particular emphasis is placed on the control of processing parameters in relation to the microstructure and on the development of economically viable and extremely high-performance manufacturing technologies. By simultaneously controlling the morphology and distribution of the various structural elements at different scales, it has been possible to make opposing properties compatible and/or introduce new ones. Using what we have termed microstructural engineering as a tool, materials have been developed that show multifunctionality and multicapacity, combining properties that are currently present exclusively in different classes of materials, even with antagonistic properties. This concept is based on three lines of action:
– Structure organised at different scales, based on an increase in microstructural complexity in order to improve the final properties.
– Multimaterial, based on the integration of several materials in a multifunctional component.
– Synergy of mechanisms, based on the interaction between mechanisms that enhance their magnitude.
Our research is aimed at satisfying more complex demands that require the involvement of a set of materials that act in solidarity. In order to apply these principles, it is necessary to have prior and precise knowledge of the processing of the materials involved in the system so that their interrelation can be equally predefined.
The lines of research currently focus on the study of:
– Development of new biomaterials for medical implants.
This line of research aims to obtain a new generation of biomultifunctional micro-nanostructured composite materials. The development of ceramic-metal materials (biocermets) for use in medical implants should be highlighted. Composite materials are being developed with high mechanical properties (tolerance to defects and resistance to cyclic fatigue), with no corrosion and excellent tribological properties, the possibility of machining them into complex shapes by electroerosion, and which do not present problems such as infections or diagnostics (artefacts generated using the NMR technique). They also have a high degree of biocompatibility and osteoconduction with a high capacity for osseointegration. All these properties make them an ideal material to replace current biomaterials that have a limited lifetime and are not the ideal solution for use in medical prostheses.
– Sepiolite-based additives as a vector of nanoparticles to improve the properties of organic and inorganic matrices.
The main objective of this research line is the development of nanocomposite materials with an inorganic or polymeric matrix with multiple functionalities, e.g. high mechanical and tribological resistance, biocidal activity, etc. Sepiolite is able to host nanoparticles and optimise nano/microparticulate materials with many interesting properties, which are being exploited in products with new functionalities. This line of research is carried out in collaboration with the company Tolsa, the main producer of sepiolite in the Community of Madrid, and has enabled the company to acquire new knowledge within its line of special additives. In particular, it has meant an important advance in the design and manufacture of new additives that show a synergic and ceramifying behaviour in fire conditions of different polymeric matrices, mainly EVA and PP. This development has led to the creation of a new Business Unit within the company whose objective is the development, launch and commercialisation of significantly improved special additives. The additives developed within the project, ADINS Clay 20 and ADINS Fireproof, are currently marketed to improve the fire performance of polymer composites in sectors such as construction and cables in Europe, China and the USA.
– Processing optimization of eco-friendly piezoceramics
Several sectors are affected by advances in the knowledge of eco-piezoceramics as they impact on the environmental benefit of all the different applications of actuators and sensors based on piezoelectric ceramics. The main objective of this line of research is based on the implementation of new processing strategies to improve the structural and functional properties of eco-piezoceramics with the ultimate goal of increasing the durability and reliability of devices based on them.
