María-Dolores Bermúdez is head of the Materials Science and Engineering research group in the Materials and Manufacturing Engineering Department at the Technical University of Cartagena. Current research lines are: Tribology and Surface Science using room-temperature ionic liquids as lubricants under severe contact conditions, particularly in light alloys lubrication and extreme temperatures, and the development of new nanofluids by interaction of ionic liquids with nanophases and their use both as lubricants and as antiwear polymer additives to develop new nanocomposites with enhanced tribological performance and scratch resistance. Francisco-José Carrión is a senior researcher of the Materials Science and Engineering research group in the Materials and Manufacturing Engineering Department at the Technical University of Cartagena. His main research interests are focused in the study of structural, thermal, mechanical and tribological properties of polymers, polymer-matrix composites and nanocomposites, and the relationship between manufacturing processes and performance. Constantinos A. Charitidis is an Associate Professor in the School of Chemical Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens. Currently, he is the Director of the Materials Science and Engineering Department and he is coordinating several projects funded by the Greek Ministry of Education and the European Commission. His main research interests are centred on the study of structural and nanomechanical properties of bulk thin-film multifunctional materials, tribology, contact mechanics, adhesion, fracture and fatigue of engineering materials, modelling of mechanical behaviour, nanomaterials processing, thin film technology, ion-beam and plasma assisted surface modification techniques, surface and interface properties, social and safety implications of nanotechnology. He has gained extensive R&D experience through collaborations with international research centres. He is a referee in international scientific journals, evaluator/scientific advisor of R&D projects, participant in EU and Greek funded R&D projects. He has published 170 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals, has contributed 2 chapters in books and has edited 2 books. Cayetano Espejo is developing a doctoral thesis in the research lines of the Materials Science and Engineering research group in the Materials and Manufacturing Engineering Department at the Technical University of Cartagena.
