Materials Proceedings, Volume 11, Issue 1

It is with great pleasure that we present the proceedings of the 19th and 20th International Conference on Nano and Energy Materials held at the University of Aveiro, Portugal [...]

In this study, the thermal performance of the parabolic trough collector (PTC) has been addressed under Ouagadougou climate conditions. Thus, after developing a model, the effect of mass flow on PTC performance showed that the Jatropha curcas oil (JC...

The use of natural polymers such as sericin (SS) and chitosan (Ch) for developing biomaterials has increased in tissue engineering. To ensure adequate biointegration with the biological environment, the method used to obtain the biomaterial plays an...

Two types of core-shell composite particles, each comprising an aromatic poly(esteramide) (PEA) having amide and hydroxyl groups combined with silica (SiO2), were synthesized. This synthesis was performed by polymerizing two monomers in a mixture of...

Since the emergence of the SARS CoV2 virus, viral and antibacterial disinfection systems have become a global necessity, as well as their effective control and removal. In this context, the improvement of photocatalytic systems for the elimination of...

Deep cryogenic treatment is characterized by subjecting the material to slow and controlled cooling at temperatures of up to approximately −196 °C or 77 K. This treatment has attracted industry interest and has been used in recent years, wi...

In this work we focus on carbon nitride materials to improve the conversion and productivity of the photoreduction of CO2, developing a coupled strategy to optimize materials and operating conditions. The metal-free polymeric catalyst, graphitic carb...
