Training School on 3D-printing of gels and aerogels
Santiago de Compostela (Spain), 21-23 June 2022
Contents
WELCOME
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to invite you to the Training School on 3D-printing of gels and aerogels, which will be held on 21-23 June 2022, in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
The meeting is organized by the AERoGELS COST Action (https://cost-aerogels.eu) and the I+D Farma research group from the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
AIMS & SCOPE
3D-printing is a disruptive technology able to produce unique materials with personalized shapes and advanced performances. The technological combination of 3D-printing with sol-gel and aerogel processing results in high added-value materials for several biomedical and environmental applications.
This training school aims at assembling and integrating the most recent advances in 3D-printing of gels and aerogels from an interdisciplinary perspective. This school comprises invited presentations covering a wide range of fundamental topics in terms of novel designs, processes, characterization techniques and uses from academia, industry and regulatory experts, focusing on biomedical and environmental applications. It will be a great opportunity for discussion, questions and exchange of ideas in the area of material science to encourage the collaboration within the AERoGELS COST Action CA18125.
Early-career investigators such as PhD students and young postdoctoral scientists will also have the opportunity to share and give visibility to their recent research on the topic in a special forum with short talks.
