“Amphiphilic diblock copolymers for POCHBA” María San Sebastián (BCMaterials)        “Exchange bias of spring-like domain walls” Rafael Morales (UPV/EHU) The exchange coupling between antiferromagnetic (AFM) and ferromagnetic (FM) materials yields a shift of the hysteresis loop along the magnetic field axis. The magnitude of this shift is known as exchange bias field, Heb.

Profesor Jose Manuel Barandiaran will be in the ICM2015 in Barcelona making a Semi-Plenary talk in the room F of the Cataluña Congress Palace (Palau de Congressos de Catalunya):

“Lattice anomalies at the ferroelectric and magnetic transitions in cycloidal Mn0.95Co0.05WO4 and conical Mn0.80Co0.20WO4 multiferroics”  Irene Urcelay Olabarria (BCMaterials) Different types of subtle lattice anomalies (Dl/l ∼ 10−5) are reported in the multiferroic Mn1−xCoxWO4 (x = 0.05 and 0.20) compounds coinciding with the successive magnetic transitions below 30 K.

Electroactive Polymer Composites for Smart Materials

Dr. Catarina Lopes, Universidade do Minho, Braga, Portugal

“Hybrid materials based on PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride)”  Netzahualpille Hernández (Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León - México) The fabrication of nanocomposites based on mixed oxide nanoparticles (MON) and polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) is reported. In order to obtain these nanocomposites, first, MON were synthesized by a modified combustion method and hydrothemal method. Then, dissolutions of MON and PVDF were used to obtained fibers from an electrospinning approach.

“New synthesis methods and coating techniques for the enhancement of electrochemical behaviour of Na3V2O2(PO4)2F compound”  Paula Serras (BCMaterials) Sodium vanadium fluorophosphates have recently shown very good electrochemical performance vs. Na/Na+ providing high working voltages (3.6 and 4 V vs. Na/Na+) and good specific capacity values near to theoretical ones (130 mAh/g). The vanadyl (IV) Na3V2O2(PO4)2F compound which belongs to the Na3V2O2x(PO4)2F3-2x family of compounds can be successfully synthesized by a novel single-step hydrothermal method.

Prof. Dr. Sadamichi Maekawa, Director of the Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC), Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), has been invited to talk about a completely new field in which he has started recently.
