Materials Deep Dive

<p>What if the solution to plastic pollution was growing in the ocean all along? Eylül Er, founder of Palgae, is engineering algae-based bioplastics that can slot directly into existing manufacturing lines. No factory...

<p>Materials Deep Dive is evolving. </p><p>The truth is that I'm graduating, and taking the podcast to the next level with me. Materials Deep Dive is shifting from two-host educational episodes to in-depth video...

<p>Today we have another interview! </p><p>Plastic waste is one of society's biggest problems, so Luenne Coelho decided to make furniture out of it. As founder of Reefaire, she's turning discarded plastic cups into...

<p>How do electromagnetic waves behave when they travel through different materials? </p><p>In this episode we explore the refractive index, critical angle, and Brewster angle, derive the Fresnel equations, and explain...

<p>What happens inside a capacitor at the material level? </p><p>This episode dives into the physics of dielectric materials, how polarisation affects capacitance, and the role of Ohm's Law in understanding electrical...

<p>We make incredible composite materials, but what happens when we're done with them? </p><p>This episode explores the main recycling methods for composites: mechanical, thermal, and chemical recycling. We compare...

<p>This last type of composite is the black sheep of the family. Laminar composites are much different from the ones we’ve been talking about. Have you ever seen a composites without matrix? Let’s deep dive to know more...

<p>Particle-reinforced polymer composites are everywhere, from your car dashboard to cutting boards. This episode covers how they're made, what particles are used, and why adding a filler phase can dramatically change...

<p>Fibre-reinforced polymer composites are behind everything from wind turbine blades to sporting equipment. </p><p>This episode covers the two main production routes: open mould (hand lay-up, spray-up) and closed mould...

<p>After ceramic composites we’re moving on to metals. Today, we’ll cover composites of metallic matrix and particles as reinforcements. The powder technologies are already familiar if you’ve been listening to the last...

<p>Last episode we talked about particle reinforced ceramic composites, but what about if we want create metallic composites?</p>

<p>What can we do with powder technologies? Composits of ceramic matrix and particle reinforcement for example. But powder technology isn’t the only way. Join us to see all the advantages and disadvantages of processes...

<p>Today we’ll go over Fiber-Reinforced Ceramic Matrix Composites (FRCMCs). We’ll see their toughening mechanisms, such as crack bridging and fiber pullout; production methods, like powder technology, infiltration...

<p>Today we’ll deep dive into pulverotechnology. We’ll talk about Powder Production, Properties, and Sintering.</p>

<p>What is a hybrid nanomaterial? A mixture between a werewolf and a vampire at the nanoscale? Actually it’s not too far from that. Listen to this deep dive to find out.</p><p><br></p><p>Don’t forget to share the...
