Join us for this week's #FridaySemiar to hear Marc Kamel (#MSc, Beavan group) and Sabrina Clusiau (#PhD, Gauvin group) present their research on the characterisation of delafossites as #semiconductor materials and on automated #SEM image acquisition and segmentation with #AI!

In collaboration with researchers from Concordia University and uoftmie, Prof. Chromik & students found that thermally sprayed CoO coatings show higher wear resistance than their NiO counterparts when applied as high temperature solid lubricants. Read more here: t.ly/Qk70y

Are you curious how to make graphene oxide (GO) nano sheets change their behaviour with temperature? Yiwen Chen, Prof. Szkopek (Electrical and Computer Engineering) and Prof. Marta Cerruti developed a functionalised GO, which can do exactly that!

Join us today at 2:45 in Wong 1020 for our #FridaySeminar with #MSc candidate Omar Binfahad (Brochu group) and #PhD candidate Tian Zhao (Omelon group), who will present their thesis research on IN625 for 3D printing and on the transformation of soluble phosphate into fertiliser!

Our article on thermally responsive #grapheneOxide is featured in Materials Horizons's Regional Spotlight Collection! Check out our most recent article and other exciting materials research in the collection! #materials #engineering McGill Faculty of Engineering

In the latest publication from our department, A. Jena, Prof. M. Brochu and colleagues designed a Ni-based alloy for 3D printing of high-temperature parts! Check out their full publication here: doi.org/10.1016/j.nxma…

Electron microscopy (EM) characterisation of Li materials, e.g. in batteries, remains a challenge. In their latest publication, researchers around Profs Gauvin and Song were for the first time able to predict knock-on damage in EM of Li materials: t.ly/8Jm-o

Check out the latest paper from Prof. Jinhyuk Lee's group on a novel Fe-DRX cathode material for Li ion batteries: doi.org/10.1002/aenm.2…

Researchers around Prof. Chromik systematically investigated the influence of spraying parameters on the properties of FeCrMnCoNi high-entropy coatings. Such coatings are known for their high strength and damage tolerance. Curious? - Read more here: doi.org/10.1007/s10853…

Everybody is talking of H2 as the "fuel of the future". But how to distribute and store the diffusive volatile gas? Prof. Song and colleagues studied the diffusion of H2 at dislocations to better understand the H2-embrittlement of structural parts. doi.org/10.1016/j.acta…

Bioglass facilitates the remineralisation of exposed dentin layers on hypersensitive #teeth. Grad students from Prof. Nazhat's and Prof. Waters' groups now found that borate-based bioglasses can remineralise dentin even faster than conventional #bioglass: doi.org/10.1016/j.cera…

Excited to share our research in EES on innovative Li-ion battery cathodes, free of Ni & Co. Our work on Mn-based disordered rock-salts achieves unprecedented energy densities. See how we overcome the challenge of electrical conductivity in electrode level doi.org/10.1039/d4ee00…

Fast Li ion transport in #batteries is crucial for applications that require high power, such as #ElectricCars. Prof. Gauvin and colleagues modelled Li diffusion in Li oxide interface layers to better understand the limiting factors to Li ion transport: doi.org/10.1016/j.comm…

Spray coatings can improve the wear and temperature resistance of various materials. Researchers around Prof. Chromik explored how the addition of chromium carbides can further improve the wear behaviour of Co-based composite coatings: doi.org/10.1016/j.wear…

Perovskite solar cells could be the new generation of #photovoltaics, but they still face stability and toxicity problems. Profs Demopoulos and Gauvin, et al. explored the interface between perovskite and e- transport layer as a cause for these problems: doi.org/10.1039/D4CP00…

Join us for our Materials Research Day on 10 May 2024 featuring a seminar by Admir Masic (MIT)! Sign up here: mcgill.ca/tised/multifun…

In vitro assembly of #elastin fibres is notoriously difficult, which makes studying elastin pathologies (e.g. calcification) challenging. We developed an elastin-fibre mimicking material, which could be used as an in vitro #model for elastin calcification: doi.org/10.1021/acs.bi…
