Biography
Oscar H. Laguna, a Postdoctoral Research Associate of the University of Jaén (Spain), has his expertise in Heterogeneous Catalysis and Materials Science. His research has focused on developing catalytic applications based on microreactor-type structures. These devices can be applied to different reactions such as hydrogen purification, WGS reaction and CO2 methanation. He recently works on the application of 3D printing in the manufacture of these catalytic devices, since through advanced design the properties of these can be promoted. For structured catalyst printing, he explores both catalytic materials and substrate printing materials.

Additive Manufacturing and Catalysis: a powerful synergy to boost the chemical industry in the 21st century
Author(s): Oscar H. Laguna
Catalysis is one of the pillars of the chemical industry that has promoted its evolution since the 20th century, and currently it is one of the fields of study where new routes to consolidate new sources of renewable energy and strategies to curb climate change and the emission of greenhouse gases are being studied in depth. For the achievement of these goals, catalysis must be modernized through the implementation of new manufacturing tools such as additive manufacturing, which is one of the key elements of the new industrial revolution “Industry 4.0”. The appearance of additive manufacturing dates back to the 80s, but its application in catalysis has only begun to be appreciated in the last decade. The growth of research that address this combination is exponential and thi... view more»
