• THERMORIGID AND THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITE MATERIALS: The most varied aspects related to thermo-rigid composites with synthetic fibres (glass, carbon and polyaramid) or with vegetable fibres (sisal, curaua, coconut, cylindrical luffa, wood, etc), thermoplastic and thermoplastic reinforced composites are studied.
• NANOCOMPOSITES: We study nanocomposites reinforced with graphene, carbon nanotubes and nanoargyls, among others, especially issues related to obtaining and characterizing mechanical and electromagnetic properties.
• POLYMER AND COMPOSITE PROCESSING: Several processing routes for composites manufacturing are researched as basic or applied research. These routes include compression moulding, manual moulding, injection moulding, extrusion and especially Filament Winding, Resin Transfer Moulding - RTM and related processes. Numerical simulation and optimization of these processes are also included.
