Differentiating traditional porcelain was the motto for the PorCoating project, which aims to develop functional and decorative coatings for porcelain, improving its mechanical resistance and adding new functionalities. The partnership involves researchers from Universidade de Aveiro (UAveiro).

The CleanMouldPLUS co-promotion project is being developed by a consortium made up of Universidade de Aveiro (UAveiro), the Pedro Nunes Institute (IPN) and the company Microplásticos, which is leading the project. The main objective of the project is to develop sustainable, efficient technological solutions in line with the principles of Industry 4.0, applicable to the industrial mold maintenance sector.

At the International Conference on Advanced Materials, Emanuel Carlos, researcher at CENIMAT | i3N, has been honored with the Early Career Researcher Medal, a prestigious recognition awarded by the International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM).

Between July 14th and 18th, CENIMAT|i3N hosted another vibrant edition of Semana Ciência Viva no Laboratório, welcoming 50 9 to 12th grade students who participated in 14 research projects developed within our laboratories. Guided by a team of 36 monitors, students engaged in innovative and interdisciplinary projects, ranging from laser-induced graphene to fully printed weather stations on paper.

i3N would like to congratulate its members and researcher students elected as councillors to the Faculty Council of NOVA FCT, namely Professor João Paulo Borges, who won the elections for Representatives of Teachers and Researchers as the head of the list, as well as our elected colleagues Rui Igreja and Isabel Ferreira (3 i3N members elected, out of 9!), and PhD student Edgar Coimbra (out of two elected).

We were delighted to host the student delegation from the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering at Zhejiang University (ZJU) for a full-day program at CENIMAT|i3N – NOVA FCT.
