Degree in Physics from the University of Granada, master’s degree in advanced Materials from the Autonomous University of Madrid and PhD in Structures, Foundations and Materials Engineering.
In 2017, I obtained a governmental grant (FPI grant) for starting my PhD at the Institute for Ceramics and Glass (CSIC) in the research group of Prof. María Isabel Osendi (Technical Ceramics). The aim of this thesis was the study of a novel and versatile method of manufacturing multifunctional light and robust graphene-based materials. In particular, graphene 3D architected structures are of great interest for uses in storage/conversion of energy, as catalytic supports, membranes or sensors.
In a first stage, my research work deals with the creation of self-supporting structures of both pristine graphene and graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, using water-based inks with certain amount of polyelectrolytes that should confer the inks the necessary rheological behaviour, that is a pseudo-plastic characteristics. The study of electrical and thermal conductivities, as well as the mechanical stability of these 3D structures is a main goal of my work.
The next step 2 was the creation of hybrid compounds based on the 3D graphene scaffolds and different types of matrices, such as preceramic polymers, metals and alkoxide precursors. These precursors are employed with purpose of creating a continuous phase that covers the 3D structure based on graphene, and protects against temperature and / or atmosphere without impairing other properties of the structure. I used different materials characterization techniques such as: Confocal Raman Microscopy, XRD, UV-VIS spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, mechanical testing, thermal analysis. I have performed a predoctoral stay at the Aix-Marseille Université under the supervision of Prof. David Grosso, chief of the NOVA group, to learn the fundamentals of sol-gel chemistry and applied to my thesis work (January to March of 2019). This collaboration generated a published research article in the first journal of its category (Materials Science, Ceramics) and ‘3D Printing Industry’, a relevant online newsletter with high impact in global and social media, published a review of this paper work. I achieved my PhD in Materials Engineering in April of 2020. After that, I continued my research for one year as postdoctoral researcher also in the Institute for Ceramics and Glass. The aim of this period is the fabrication of cellular structures through robocasting with two phases coaxial filaments. Moreover, I start a study of printing 3D zirconia structures using a fused filament technique.
I joined at DIOPMA as Margarita Salas researcher with a post-doctoral contract with the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) in January 2022 for working in plastic recycling and reinforcement for 3D printing feedstock.
