Key Technologies Advanced Materials

PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS (PCM's)

• Formulation and synthesis of new advanced phase change materials for specific applications.
• Thermophysical characterization.
• Thermal analysis and simulation of the applications developed.
• Integration of PCM's in applications.

COMPOSITE/NANOCOMPOSITE MATERIALS

• Manufacturing of composite/nanocomposite materials using different matrices, mainly polymer, with high tailored perfomance: mechanical properties, fire resistance, ultraviolet (UV) radiation resistance, etc.
• Characterisation of the developed materials: dispersion rate, thermophysical properties, mechanical properties and reaction to fire.
• Dispersion of nanomaterials.
• Analysis and characterization of nanomaterials by means of atomic force microscopy.
