BCmaterials partner in the international consortium of H2020 project Multi-fun: Enabling MULTI-FUNctional performance through multi-material additive manufacturing.
BCMaterials is participating in the ambitious project H2020 MULTI-FUN. This breakthrough project will leverage nanotechnologies to improve heat transfer rates, higher complexity of internal design and inclusion of sensing and data transfer capabilities for condition and structural health monitoring and process control.
Killing cancer without toxic drugs
A publication from Prof. Stefan Wuttke in Mapping Ignorance blog about how Nanotechnology enables the creation of delivery vehicles able to overcome physiological barriers, allowing new approaches for reducing unwanted side effects of systemic delivery, increasing targeting efficiency and improving chemotherapy efficacy.
