Clot-in-a-Chip and Innovative Programmable Materials
[eng] Stroke is a medical condition in which vessel or artery obstruction leads to tissue damage due to a lack of nutrients and oxygen in the affected area. In the past decade, stroke has become the most common circulatory ...
Electronic Structure and machine learning protocols for pre-screening of near-room temperature spin-crossover materials
[eng] Spin-crossover (SCO) is a phenomenon observed in certain transition metal complexes, particularly d4–d7 metals, where a reversible transition between high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) electronic states occurs in ...
Mechanical activation of clays as an alternative to thermal activation for ternary blended cement production
[eng] The construction industry significantly contributes to climate change and global warming, especially due to the environmental footprint of Portland cement (PC) production, which is the second most widely used material ...
Economía circular de la Guadua angustifolia Kunth (GaK) como una alternativa de construcción sostenible
[spa] La presente tesis doctoral se centra en el aprovechamiento sostenible de la Guadua angustifolia Kunth (GaK), una especie de bambú predominante en las regiones tropicales y subtropicales, especialmente en América ...
Optimal Selection, Characterization, and Life Cycle Assessment of Sustainable Materials for Thermal Energy Storage in Concentrating Solar Power: A Circular Economy Approach
[eng] The world's energy dilemma, balancing supply and demand, finds a potential solution in energy storage technologies. Energy storage systems store excess energy during low-demand periods for later use. This approach ...
Strategies to synthesize carbon-supported elctrocatalysts with reduced Pt content and increased activity for use in low temperature fuel cells
[eng] Conventional catalysts for polymer electrolyte fuel cells are based on Pt supported on porous carbons, generally carbon blacks. However, Pt is expensive and scarce and is poisoned by CO, which is present in the ...
Prediction of partition coefficients for systems of micelles using DFT
[eng] A compound’s solvent−water partition coefficient (log P) measures the equilibrium ratio of the compound’s concentrations in a two-phase system: as two solvents in contact or a system of micelles in an aqueous ...
Nitrate and Pesticide Removal from Groundwater Using Different Electrochemical Reactors
[eng] Groundwater has been traditionally considered a reliable source of freshwater. However, the low replenishment rates and the increasing contamination due to different anthropogenic activities, such as the use of ...
Evolución de las propiedades de tuberías de PP-R en servicio
[spa] Esta tesis está enfocada en la búsqueda de hitos y nuevos conceptos que permitan la mejora de un producto que actualmente está dominando el mercado en su nicho de negocio español: las tuberías de PP-RCT. La empresa ...
Aleación nanoestructurada de alta entropía FeAlNiCuCo: diseño, síntesis y caracterización
[spa] Durante los últimos años el estudio de las aleaciones de alta entropía, o high entropy alloys (HEA), ha sido un tema en auge. Las HEA presentan de cinco a más elementos en proporción equimolar y una microestructura ...
Desarrollo de micro-morteros de cemento de fosfato de magnesio formulados con subproductos y residuos industriales
