Lectures
This section consolidates the practices and lectures that I deliver in various settings, including summer schools, online and on-site classes. These encompass the sharing of knowledge in materials science, covering aspects such as structure and properties, manufacturing techniques, characterization (with a focus on mechanical testing), evaluation of physico-chemical properties and the definition of potential applications.
#MATERIALSCIENCE
Mechanical tests
Material characterization: realization of standarized tensile, compresion, flexural and charpy tests for different materials (educational level).
Physico-chemical practices
Comparison of pH indicators: natural (red cabbage) vs. 'human tech' (strips) and formation of Cu(OH)2 over a copper foil with different substances, after 72 h exposed to ammonia gas (corrosion practice).
Material experimentation
Material-driven workshops with organic residues for the creation of composites and mono-material products.
