Nerea Casado, an Experienced Researcher from POLYMAT-UPV/EHU (Spain), is performing an intersectorial one month secondment at Panaxium (France), where she will apply some of the developed IONBIKE iongels in the fabrication of bioelectronic devices. In this picture we can see her together with Isabel de las Aguas, a former Panaxium secondee at POLYMAT.  Bonne chance, Nerea!

Nora Aramburu, an Experienced Researcher from UPV/EHU-POLYMAT (Spain), is carrying out a secondment at Georgia Institute of Technology (US). For the next few months, Nora will investigate the characterization of the phase behaviour and the electric and ionic conductivities of PLA/CNT and PBSA/CNT bionanocomposites, and PLA/PBSA bioblends containing different ionic liquids. Good luck, Nora!

Nearly three years and one pandemic later, Dr. Melissa Moya, an Experienced Researcher from UCIMED,  was back to UPV/EHU-POLYMAT in May. Besides carrying some lab work, Melissa took the opportunity to plan the research lines and activities of upcoming UCIMED secondees at POLYMAT. We hope you enjoyed your stay, Melissa!

Following his visit in 2019, Roque Minari, an Experienced Researcher from CONICET-Universidad del Litoral (Argentina), was back to UPV/EHU-POLYMAT (Spain) in May. Our project coordinator David Mecerreyes and him have been colloborating for years now, and they currently cosupervise the work of IONBIKE secondee Ana Aguzin. Roque´s secondment has been useful to perform some lab work and plan further collaborations in the field of iongels for bioelectronics. Thank you, Roque!

The latest IONBIKE publication is the first of Ana Aguzin’s as first author, and a great example of collaboration between Consortium partners. As part of her PhD, Ana is developing iongels for biolectronics that show great properties and potential. Well done, team!
