Congratulations to David Tilve Martinez, recipient of the award from the Société Francophone d’Étude des Carbones (SFEC) for his doctoral research on 3D printing of conductive nanocomposites.

As part of his work, David developed photopolymerizable resins that combine UV transparency with electrical conductivity. These innovative resins can be 3D printed using Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology and show great promise for applications in electromagnetic wave absorption.

The thesis was carried out in collaboration with Dassault Aviation and received joint funding from the French Directorate General of Armaments (DGA) and the Regional Council of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

The €1000 prize was awarded to him at the Carbon 2025 international conference, held in Saint-Malo in July. On this occasion, David presented his work during an invited talk that was very well received by the audience.
