AWARDED RESEARCH
David G. Calatayud and Teresa Jardiel won the FIRST PRIZE on the XXI Contest of Scientific Photography, celbrated in the occasion of the LII National Meeting of the Spanish Society of Ceramics and Glass (SECV). Obtained in the frame of project NANOBAC (MICINN-INNPACTO 2011 program), the FEG-TEM micrograph shows a faceted TiO2 anatase nanoparticle (20 nm in length) which results from a controlled semi-solvothermal process. Congratulations!!
D. G. Calatayud, A. C. Caballero, M. Peiteado and T. Jardiel attended the LII National Meeting of the Sociedad Española de Cerámica y Vidrio (SECV) held in Burgos, SPAIN (3 to 6th of October)
presenting the following contributions:
- "Synthesis of anatase microspheres with hierarchical structure" .(Oral comm.)
- "Hydrothermal growth of ZnO nanostructures on EPD-seeded substrates" .(Oral comm.)
A. C. Caballero also participates on the Organization Committee.
As a result of the 2012 General Assembly of the Sociedad Española de Cerámica y Vidrio (SECV), the different sections constituting the Society have been renewed.
Marco Peiteado will hold the Secretary of the Electroceramics Section for the next 4 years, while A.C. Caballero will hold Vice-Presidency.
Maria Verde starts a three-month stay at the Materials Synthesis Department of Jozef Stefan Institute of Ljubljana, SLOVENIA, under the guidance of Professor Darja Lisjak.
She will be carrying research on Electrophoretic Deposition of ZnO-based materials. Soon after in October, Mara Bernardo will as well joint the Jozef Stefan Institute for another three-month stay, this time under guidance of Professor Darko Makovec, Head of the Materials Synthesis Department. The work of Mara Bernardo at IJS will be focused on the microstructural characterization of BiFeO3-based multiferroics.
