Start-up of iNANOSPRAY Project

On Wednesday, May 9th 2012, we celebrated in Barcelona, the kick-off meeting of the iNanospray project: "Intelligent production system for Nanocoatings through thermal Spray”. iNanospray is a project granted by European Commission, in the MANUNET Transnational Call 2011 Programme – Catalonia (ACC1Ó) and Germany (BMBF) funding programmes - and where CPT participates as specialist within the production of coatings by thermal spray techniques. Representatives of both regions/countries taking part in the consortium, Catalonia and Germany, met in Barcelona, in order to plan the work for the next two years. The meeting was finished within the visit of the consortium in the CPT´s Cold Spray facilities.

A new incorporation in CPT

 

Alex Latorre has joined CPT as researcher to do the PhD in the field of biomaterials. Alex Latorre has a previous experience in health fields. He collaborated on R&D and quality control departments in cosmetic industry and also on the optimization of cardiology devices.

At present, due to his interest about biomaterials field, he works researching in the optimization of cardiology devices, trying to develop biocompatible polimers.

Alex Latorre is graduated in Chemistry by University of Barcelona with an excellent student record and showed interest in CPT by its career in materials field.

He speaks fluently Spanish, Catalan and English.

 

2nd Cold Spray Summer School 2013

The objective of this course is to introduce the recipe of the emerging Cold Gas Spraying (CGS) technology for protecting and enhancing surfaces of industrial products.
The principal attribute of this novel technique lies in its capability of producing tailormade properties of coatings by optimizing the nature of the substrate, the material to be deposited and the process design parameters for diverse applications. An interactive session based on real-life case studies and demonstrators will illustrate the potential of Cold Gas Spray (CGS) process and focus on the problems and future challenges of the Thermal Spray technology in today’s competitive world.
