The Vanya Salvini researcher in Santigo, Chile, presented the work Better Designing and Evaluation of Insulating Ceramics Foamed, developed in the Department of Materials Engineering School of Engineering of São Carlos, USP (EESC) of USP. The highlight was offered by the Latin American Association of Refractory Products Manufacturers, the contribution to the processing and evaluation of ceramic foams for thermal insulation properties at high temperatures, ALAFAR Award 2014. The research involves the development of the manufacturing process and analysis of mechanical behavior of ceramic foams which are lightweight materials, homogeneous high porosity, high strength and low thermal conductivity, which in this design are produced using technologies and green additive free toxicity. There are several applications for these materials, such as thermal insulation for industrial furnaces, porous supports for drug delivery, porous biomaterials for bone regeneration, sound insulation for construction, among others. Being a versatile material, its chemical composition and porosity can be molded according to the intended end application. In bone regeneration, for example, ceramic foam must provide interconnecting pores and is biocompatible. As for heat insulation, the material must be resistant to cyclic thermal shock, and preferably consists of a structure of closed microporosity. M. Bouzid, A. Djadi, C. Aribi, A. Irekti, B. Bezzazi, and F. Halouene received Photon Excellence Award-2014 in Materials Science by Photon Foundation. The nature of materials structuring our health institutions promote the development of germs. The sustainability of nosocomial infections remains significant (12% and 15%). One of the major factors being the portland cement which is brittle and porous. As part of a national plan to fight nosocomial infections, led by the University Hospital of Blida, They opted for a composite coating, application by multilayer model, composed of epoxy-polyester resin as a binder and calcium carbonate as mineral fillers. The application of composite materials reinforce the wall coating of hospital units and eliminates the hospital infectious areas. The resistance to impact, chemicals, raising temperature and to a biologically active environment, gives satisfactory results. The research was performed by  Research Unit: Materials, Processes and Environment, University M'Hamed Bougara, Frantz Fanon City, Boumerdes Algeria, Department of Research and Development, Health Technology of Algeria, Tipaza, and Departement of Biology, Faculty of science, University M'Hamed Bougara, Frantz Fanon City, Boumerdes Algeria.
