About the editors
Mercedes Vila is currently the scientific director of Coating Technologies S.L. and guest assistant professor at the University of Aveiro’s Mechanical Engineering Department TEMA Research Unit. Her main research interests focus on the surface modification and functionalization of materials and materials behavior under different environments, e.g. biomaterials–cell interactions under physical stimuli, tribological responses and environmental remediation.
Paula Marques is a principal investigator in the Nanoengineering Group of TEMA research unit at the University of Aveiro. Paula’s research interests are related to the engineering and development of new, nanostructured materials that may offer solutions to societal problems. She started working with carbon nanostructures in 2007, and has been exploring the potential of graphene oxide for health and environmental applications since 2010, with the aim of engineering solutions that foster a cleaner, healthier, safer and more sustainable world.
