Giulia Scampone, Forscherin im Bereich der Gießtechnologie am LKR Leichtmetallkompetenzzentrum Ranshofen, und Susan Montes, die in der Unit Battery Technologies tätig ist, haben vor kurzem erfolgreich Ihre Doktorratsstudien abgeschlossen. Wir gratulieren dazu sehr herzlich!
Scampone schloss ihr Doktoratsstudium an der Universität Padua (Department of Management and Engineering) ab, Montes promovierte an der Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg (Department Chemistry and Physics of Materials).
Giulia Scampones Dissertation hatte das “Anodizing of Al alloy diecastings – Alloy design, manufacturing process and material properties” zum Thema, hier der Abstract:
The current focus on sustainability has led to the widespread use of diecast Al-Si alloys in the automotive sector. To improve the surface properties of casting components and make the castings electrically insulated, an anodizing process can be performed. However, due to the high content of alloying elements, diecast Al-Si alloys are challenging to anodize and only a limited number of research studies have been conducted in this field. This PhD thesis aims to address this knowledge gap by investigating the influence of near-surface microstructure, surface topography and anodizing parameters on the anodizing response of Al-Si diecast components.
Susan Montes' Dissertation stand unter dem Titel “Silica – (Bio) polymer Hybrid Materials” und widmete sich folgendem Thema:
This dissertation explores the synthesis of hybrid materials by combining organic and inorganic components at nano- and molecular scales, focusing on enhancing compatibility, stability, processability, and homogeneity. Utilizing the sol-gel process to integrate silica precursors into polymer and biopolymer matrices through molecular interactions and covalent bonds, demonstrates the effectiveness of this technique in producing materials with superior properties for advanced applications.
Wir freuen uns sehr über diesen großen Erfolg und wünschen Giulia Scampone und Susan Montes alles Gute für ihre weitere wissenschaftliche Laufbahn!
