Students awards of the B-MRS Meeting: applications by July 14th.

Posted on Wednesday 12 de June de 2019

The best undergraduate and graduate student contributions presented at the XVIII B-MRS Meeting (Balneário Camboriú, Brazil, September 22-26, 2019) will receive awards from B-MRS and ACS Publications, the scholarly publisher of the American Chemical Society.

To compete for awards, the author (student) must submit, by July 14, an extended abstract additional to the conventional abstract. Prizes will only be awarded for works presented by students at the symposia of the event, and only if the authors (students) are present at the ceremony, which will be held at the closing session of the event, on September 26.

B-MRS will award up to 46 contributions within the Bernhard Gross Award, that annually distinguishes the best student work from each symposium (up to 1 oral and 1 poster per symposium). To elect the winners, the committee will consider the quality of the extended abstract and presentation, as well as the scientific contribution of the work.

Among the winners of the Bernhard Gross Award, the top five oral and five best posters will receive a cash prize (US $ 500.00) and a certificate from ACS Publications.

See more information about the awards, and instructions and template for elaborating the extended abstract: https://www.sbpmat.org.br/18encontro/#authors

Prêmios para trabalhos em cerâmicas refratárias.

Posted on Thursday 20 de December de 2012

Pesquisas sobre cerâmicas refratárias realizadas no âmbito do Departamento de Engenharia de Materiais (DEMa) da UFSCar, no grupo coordenado pelo professor Victor C. Pandolfelli, foram contempladas com cinco prêmios durante 2012.

A mais recente das distinções foi outorgada em novembro de 2012 pela Associação Latino-americana de Fabricantes de Refratários (ALAFAR), no XXXVI ALAFAR Congress. Na ocasião, o artigo “High-performance nano-bonded refractories for a wide-temperature range” recebeu o prêmio de melhor trabalho na área de cerâmicas de altas temperaturas. São autores desse trabalho Mariana Braulio (doutora em Ciência e Engenharia de Materiais pela UFSCar), Jorge B. Gallo (gerente da área de Pesquisa, Desenvolvimento e Inovação da Alcoa Alumínio S. A.), Jorivaldo Medeiros (pesquisador do CENPES-Petrobras) e Victor C. Pandolfelli.

“Embora os estudos envolvendo nanopartículas sejam hoje assuntos correntes, é raro o uso e domínio da técnica em larga escala e em produtos com preços compatíveis aos disponíveis no mercado”, explica o professor Pandolfelli. “Este estudo e desenvolvimento alia, portanto, o uso dos fundamentos científicos que possibilitam o uso de nanopartículas em materiais cerâmicos para alta temperatura (entre 800 e 1400°C) e o superior desempenho do produto obtido para uso na unidade de craqueamento catalítico de indústrias petroquímicas e calcinadores para a indústria de alumínio”, completa.

Outro trabalho premiado do grupo foi o artigo “Novel technological route to overcome the challenging magnesia hydration of cement-free alumina castables”, de autoria de Tiago M. Souza, que também é doutor em Ciência e Engenharia de Materiais pela UFSCar, Mariana A. L. Braulio e Victor C. Pandolfelli. O trabalho recebeu, em setembro deste ano, o Gustav Eirich Award 2012 – uma distinção outorgada pela empresa alemã Gustav Eirich Maschinenfabrik e o Centro Europeu de Refratários (ECRef) a trabalhos de pesquisa na área de materiais refratários. A avaliação dos trabalhos é realizada por um júri formado por profissionais europeus de indústrias, universidades e centros de pesquisas.

O artigos vencedores estão em processo de publicação em revistas internacionais.
