Research Groups
Materials Science and Engineering research groups
(ALPHABETICAL ORDER)
BBT - Biomaterials, Biomechanics and Tissue Engineering
The BBT’s main scientific goal is the development of biomaterials for tissue and organs regeneration/functional repair, from a basic scientific approach to an applied point of view, by transferring the generated knowledge to bio companies and hospitals.
BBT joined forces with the research group BOBI in order to establish the SGR group, ABM - Advanced Biomaterials.

BOBI - Bioinspired Oral Biomaterials and Interfaces
It conducts its research at the interface between materials science and biology, biotechnology, biomedical engineering, medicine and dentistry. They investigate biological systems and draw inspiration from nature to design, develop and apply advanced biomaterials for human tissue repair and regeneration. They perform physical and (bio)chemical modifications of biomaterial surfaces to investigate and target specific interactions at the bio/non-bio interface.
BOBI joined forces with the research group BBT in order to establish the SGR group, ABM - Advanced Biomaterials.

CIEFMA - Center for Research in Structural Integrity, Reliability and Micromechanics of Materials
CIEFMA is a consolidated research group of the UPC with the aim of carrying out basic science and industrial research applied to the field of structural integrity, micromechanics and reliability of engineering materials.
Responsible: PhD. Luís Llanes
luis.miguel.llanes@upc.edu
e-PLASCOM
Responsible: PhD.Orlando Santana
orlando.santana@upc.edu
INTERCOLL - Materials Interfaces and Colloid Engineering
The Materials Interfaces and Colloid Engineering Subgroup (POLY2) focuses its research on the development of self-assembling colloidal systems for the engineering of metamaterials and metasurfaces. These materials are designed to exhibit properties rarely observed in natural materials, arising from their structures.
ResponsIble: Justin Orazio Zoppe
justin.zoppe@upc.edu
POLY2 - Polyfunctional polymeric materials
The research revolves around the development of polymer-based materials with sets of properties that simultaneously provide them with structural and other non-mechanical functionalities based on high transport properties. Consolidated research group by the Generalitat de Catalunya (SGR-2014-1495).
Responsible: PhD. J.Ignacio Velasco
jose.ignacio.velasco@upc.edu
PROCOMAME - Conformation Processes of Metallic Materials
PROCOMAME group focuses on characterising the plastic deformation behaviour of metals (mostly under hot working conditions) as well as defining processing routes based on severe plastic deformation techniques to obtain metal materials with nanometric grain sizes.
Responsible: PhD. José M. Cabrera
jose.maria.cabrera@upc.edu
Textile Engineering research group
TECTEX-Textile Tecnology Research Group
Research support
Electron Microscopy
University and industrial research in the field of electron microscopy focused on the study of surfaces, defects, wear, fatigue, fractures, etc., of metallic, ceramic, polymeric materials, etc.
Technical and scientific services
UPC research groups have a wide variety of hardware of various characteristics and offer this service for university and industrial research testing and analysis.
Other Research Centers with the participation of CEM staff
Several of the Department's researchers also participate in specific research centres, which are singular units with their own outreach whose primary function is to respond to demands made by external public or private entities in specific research fields:
