Sergi Dosta is working as professor at the University of Barcelona since 2007. His expertise in the materials science and engineering starts in 2003 focused in the Thermal Spray field with nanostructured materials. He is the technical manager of the Thermal Spray Centre (CPT) since 2010. Dr. Dosta has published more than 80 research papers, has directed 3 thesis and has 20 patents and industrial trade secrets. He is main responsible of 2 european projects from the H2020 and has lead over 50 industrial and research projects. he is the expert in Cold Gas Spray Technology and has been invited to give talks in different conferences and workshops all over the world.
Abstract
The Thermal Spray Center at the University of Barcelona has a wide experience in surface engineering field and specifically working with thermal spray technologies, mainly HVOF and CGS. During all these years it has been developing a wide range of materials from metals to ceramics from traditional high wear coatings to corrosion resistant materials. The center has been focusing on novel materials, including new cermets, intermetallic, polymers or metallic glasses, offering both higher wear resistance and/or new surface properties as it is the case of photo catalysis, considering also super hydrophobic or anti-fouling materials. Some of the new developments and their possible applications will be exposed in this presentation, such as main research lines included in H2020 projects like RIBLET4WIND, HYDROBOND or PROCETS.
