Bio/Research
Garces specializes in composite-smart materials such as bio, multifunctional nanomaterials, and additive manufacturing of shape memory composites, nanocomposites, and multi-materials parts. Her work included developing, modelling, and manufacturing additive-manufactured shape memory polymers for field applications. She designed a manufacturing method, developed viscoelastic models to predict the behaviour of complex polymers, and produced self-sensing actuators. She has designed and built various polymer processing equipment and mechatronic systems, such as spinning, winding and extrusion equipment. She has also contributed to the development of additive manufacturing of biomedical and robotics’ parts. She has developed processing and manufacturing techniques for diverse materials such as commercial polymers, cellulose-based materials, and carbon fibres. Some of her most recent work includes developing new additive manufacturing systems for processing regenerated cellulose to produce bio-based parts.
