The new European project ECO-STEEL will develop solid-state recycling and twin-roll strip casting technologies to transform stainless steel scrap into high-value products.
Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have demonstrated the successful additive manufacturing of two magnesium alloys through selective laser melting (SLM), while significantly improving their corrosion resistance through advanced plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings.
Last week, researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute took part in the annual meeting of DIGIMATER-CM Digital Strategies autonomus Discovery, a collaborative initiative bringing together leading research groups across the Madrid region to advance the future of materials development.
Abstract: Carbon Nanotubes have in the past year or so hit it ‘big-time’. Their incorporation, as a powder or suspension additive, into both anodes and
Abstract: A new design paradigm has emerged for interfaces between materials, where architecture is used to control stress transfer, adhesion, and failure. Such interfaces are

The IMDEA Materials Institute is part of the Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies (IMDEA) network, an institutional framework created to foster social and economic sustainable growth in the region of Madrid by promoting the generation of scientific knowledge and technological innovation in a number of strategic areas (water, food, energy, materials, nanoscience, networks and software).
We are a non-profit organisation (foundation) with the Mission of doing research of excellence in material science, contributing to tackle the challenges of society and fostering the sustainable development of the region of Madrid.
Our Vision for the future is that IMDEA Materials becomes a leading research institute, internationally recognized for its excellence in material science and its contributions to the transformation of society.
This is sustained on our three main pillars:
excellence in materials science and engineering research
attraction of talented researchers from all over the world to work in Madrid in an international and interdisciplinary environment
technology transfer to industry to increase competitiveness and maintain technological leadership
The IMDEA Materials Institute has an stablished international reputation in the areas of design, processing, characterization, modelling and simulation of advanced materials for applications in different industrial sectors with particular emphasis in transport and energy.
Through our Research Programmes we combine oriented fundamental research with applied research addressing the scientific and technological challenges that drive innovation in materials science and engineering. This combination provides the institute the ability to address ambitious technological challenges in collaboration with companies to create value in their products and processes.
IMDEA Materials Institute has state-of-the-art laboratories to manufacture, characterise and simulate advanced materials and nanomaterials, including their integration in lab scale prototypes and devices.
