30th International conference on Surface Modification Technologies – June 30- July 1, 2016, Milan
The 30th annual conference on surface modification technologies is hosted this year by Politecnico di Milano. Titanium is in the spotlight this year, with two sessions on titanium surface treatments – one specific on anodizing – plus other contributions in the Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) session. The conference will host a plenary lecture by professor Schmuki from Friedrich-Alexander University – don’t miss this chance to learn everything you need on titanium dioxide nanotubes!
Ti&Fun is involved in organizing and chairing several sessions, from titanium to sol-gel, and with two keynotes – one on titanium anodizing and one on surface wettability. Come join us at the 30th SMT! Go to the conference website

PhD Workshop with Progetto Rocca – MIT – Thursday, January 8 2015
On January 8 the PhD in Materials engineering hosted a workshop on the characterization techniques for materials engineering. The workshop proposed interventions from Dr. Seita, MIT, Prof. Bemporad, University of Roma Tre, Prof. Bernasconi, University of Milan Bicocca, and Dr. Andena, Politecnico di Milano. The participation of Dr. Seita was supported by a seed fund between Ti&Fun and MIT Demkowicz group, related to the correlation of grain boundary microstructure with the corrosion resistance of aluminum.

EUROCORR – Pisa, 8-12 September 2014
Congrats Ehsan!
During the EUROCORR conference Ehsan Fallahmohammadi, PhD in 2013 with PoliLaPP and now working at Prysmian, received the prize for best young researcher presentation in the Oil and Gas session. The prize is sponsored by ANTIKOR – International Scientific and Educational Corrosion Center, Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas.
The conference EUROCORR, organized by AIM – Associazione Italiana di Metallurgia and by EFC – European Federation of Corrosion, was held in Pisa from 8 to 12 September.
The main theme of the event was: “Improving materials durability: from cultural heritage to industrial applications”.
PoliLaPP participated with a plenary lecture by Luciano Lazzari, conference chairman, as well as with scientific interventions (Tuesday 8: MariaPia Pedeferri, Thursday 11: Fabio Bolzoni, Andrea Brenna, Maria Vittoria Diamanti and Marco Ormellese), and with a stand in the exhibition area.
The conference also hosted an exhibition of Pietro Pedeferri’s paintings.
