Corrosion is a key problem affecting all type of metals in their wide range of applications. Different solutions have been designed and developed for protecting diverse metals, from stainless steels to carbon steels and light alloys of aluminium and [...]
The group has a wide experience in sealing glasses and glass-ceramics for ceramic and metallic components of very different nature and in applications that go from room temperature use to very high temperatures and extreme atmospheres.One major challenges for the [...]
The design and development of new mesoporous and meso-structured materials showing a periodic distribution of pores of uniform size has become one of the most dynamic fields for the preparation of photocatalytic and/or biocides coatings. The porosity structure is [...]
The main interests of the group in phosphate glasses deal with their applications in optics and energy fields. On the one hand, neodymium doped phosphate glasses are currently the best solution as hosts for high energy and high power lasers, [...]
Transparent glass-ceramics (GCs) own interesting optical properties for several photonic applications. The melt-quenching (MQ) method is routinely used to prepare OxGCs but the high melting temperatures (1400-1700°C) greatly affect the fluoride content. Thus, the sol-gel (SG) route appears as [...]
