Control of the degradation of silica sol-gel hybrid coatings for metal implants prepared by the triple combination of alkoxysilanes
(Elsevier, 2016)
Hybrid materials obtained by sol-gel process are able to degrade and release Si compounds that are useful in regenerative medicine due to their osteoinductive properties. The present work studies the behavior of new ...
Study of additive manufacturing techniques to obtain tactile graphics
(IOP Publishing, 2021)
Tactile graphics (TG) are intended to facilitate communication for people with total or partial visual impairment. For this purpose, TG include elements in relief that can be perceived through the sense of touch. TG can ...
Bridging Silicon Nanoparticles and Thermoelectrics: Phenylacetylene Functionalization
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-06-26)
Silicon is a promising alternative to current thermoelectric materials (Bi2Te3). Silicon nanoparticle based materials show especially low thermal conductivities due to their high number of interfaces, which increases the ...
Low Frequency Impedance Spectroscopy Analysis of Thermoelectric Modules
(Springer Science & Business MediaInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS), 2014-06)
Impedance spectroscopy is a well-established technique for the study of
semiconductors and energy-related devices. However, in the area of thermo-
electrics (TEs), this technique is not frequently used and there ...
Soluciones alternativas al control predictivo basado en modelo de volterra
(Comité Español de Automática (CEA-IFAC), 2016)
El concepto básico de control predictivo basado en modelos (MPC) ofrece la posibilidad de usar modelos no lineales para predecir la evolución futura del sistema. La consideración de modelos no lineales en una función de ...
Assessment of energy efficiency improvement methods in the residential sector through the development of economic experiments
(Springer Nature, 2019)
Energy efficiency has become one of the basic pillars with which to tackle climate change in the European Union where households accounted for 27% of final energy consumption in the year 2016, the second largest sector ...
Influence of presentation means on industrial product evaluations with potential users: a first study by comparing Tangible Virtual Reality and presenting a product in a real setting
(Springer Verlag, 2019-10-14)
Nowadays Virtual Reality allows products to be presented to potential users, but as they cannot feel them
physically, their perception of some product attributes can be distorted. Conversely, the mixture of visual
and ...
Preparation of nanocrystalline TiO2 electrodes for flexible dye-sensitized solar cells: influence of mechanical compression
(American Chemical Society, 2012)
Nanocrystalline TiO2 electrodes were prepared using binder-free TiO2 paste on conductive ITO-PEN substrates
by the doctor-blade method at significantly low temperature (140 °C), and the electrodes were further processed ...
Characterization of the morphology and thermal properties of Zein Prolamine nanostructures obtained by electrospinning
