Cr4+:YAG/Polymer nanocomposite as alternative materials for Q-switched lasers: properties, modeling, and applications (ALTER-Q )
CoordinatorEuropean Comission
The development and application of solid-state lasers (SSRs) over the last decade, emphasizing their wide-ranging uses in fields such as metal processing, medical applications, and optical transmission systems. It outlines the fundamental components of SSRs and the importance of achieving a balance between gains and losses in the laser resonator...Sustainable Surface Treatments of Complex Shape Components for Transsectorial Industrial Innovation (SURE2COAT)
PartnerEuropean Comission
Light alloys, like Al, have shown to be good options for replacing steel in many sectors due to higher thermal conductivity and weight reduction they allow, which has become crucial e.g. for e-mobility. However, without protection, recycled Al is prone to corrosion under operation in harsh environments (e.g. heat exchangers in heat stor...Development and design of novel multiFUNctional PEO COATings (FUNCOAT)

PartnerEuropean Comission
The main objective of the proposal is the development of multi-purpose, multi-functional surfaces via environmentally friendly plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) treatments. In an intelligent way the weakness of the PEO process (the inherent porosity due to the discharges forming the coating is often responsible for poor properties) is used to ...Exploratory Research Project: Kyril Yasakao (IF/01284/2015)

MULTI-functional metallic SURFaces via active Layered Double Hydroxide treatments (MULTISURF)
PartnerEuropean Comission
The project will develop active multi-functional surfaces with high level of self-healing ability on the basis of Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) structures formed on different industrially relevant metallic substrates. The main idea of the project is based on “smart” triggered release on demand for functional organic or inorganic anionic compoun...Publications
