Short CV

Graduation in Chemical Engineering, I.S.T., (1971). PhD, U.M.I.S.T., Manchester, U.K., (J.L. Dawson, 1981).Agregação, I.S.T. (1993).

Mário Ferreira’s research activities are whithin the area of interfacial and surface engineering. He is especially interested in the study of advanced materials, such as materials with modified surfaces both by coatings and by alteration of the structure and or the composition of the surface. In his work PVD and IVD coated materials, laser treated materials and ion implanted materials have been included.

The study of more traditional coatings and materials, such as paints and anodizing coatings in the first case and reinforced concrete in the second case has also been the aim of his work. The replacement of pollutant formulae and tecnologies by environmentally "clean" ones has also been associated to his studies. The development of techniques for evaluation and related monitoring of the chemical to electrochemical degradation processes associated with materials, as well as the modelling of these processes complete his present scientific interests.

Scientific Interests

Corrosion; Passivation; Organic and inorganic coatings;Environmentally-friendly surface treatments; Development of advanced materials; Nanostructured hybrid coatings; Electrochemical processes.

The aim is to achieve scratch resistance, anti-finger print and easy-to-clean properties. Moreover, the adhesion to the polymer coating and the weathering stability will be optimised. Two coil-coating ...

TUneable Multiferroics based on oxygen OCtahedral Structures (TUMOCS)

PartnerEuropean Comission
The main objective of the project is development of new lead-free multiferroic materialshe for prospective application in forms of films and/or arranged layers in which the cross-coupling (magnetic-dipolar-elastic) can be tuned by both internal and external factors. This objective is to be achieved through preparation, investigation, and optimiz...

Unveiling the self-healing mechanisms associated with smart nanocontainers (SELMA)

PartnerFundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia
Corrosion of metallic substrates is responsible for losses amounting to approximately 3-4% of GNP in developed countries and, therefore, its mitigation will lead to enormous societal benefits. Herewith, we propose a combined computational and experimental study for unveiling the self-healing mechanisms associated with smart nanocontainers (SELMA...
