Armando Reyes Montero
YCN representative for the Mexican Ceramic Society
Instituto de Investigaciones en Materiales from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
My name is Armando Reyes Montero. I am an Associate Researcher at Instituto de Investigaciones en Materiales from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México at Mexico City. Although my background is in Chemical Engineering, I dedicated my MSc. And Ph.D. studies to Material Science and Engineering.
My research subjects are related to the synthesis, processing and characterization (structural, microstructural and electrical) of different ceramic materials, specially “lead-free” based piezoelectric/ferroelectric inorganic systems. Currently, in my lab we are focusing on reducing the sintering temperature of different electroceramic materials giving special attention to the processing stage of the material (milling process). It is known that the better reported electrical properties of electroceramic materials are strongly associated with processing conditions which, in turn, determine their crystallographic and ceramic microstructure. The research has been conducted in the Instituto de Investigaciones en Materiales with a wide participation of undergraduate students and in collaboration with different institutions: Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid, Instituto de Cerámica y Vidrio, Universidad Complutense, and University of Groningen.
As the Mexican representative of the YCN I hope to expand the Mexican network with different colleagues around the world and I express my availability for any scientific contact.
Looking forward to your participation!

Turning Waste into Raw Materials for the Ceramic Industry.
Waste materials were once seen as a burden but are increasingly being redefined as valuable resources for ceramic production. Through advances in materials engineering, waste can be used as secondary raw materials in the ceramic industry. This shift enables more circular and resource-efficient ceramic manufacturing systems.

Implementing 3D-Printed Technical Ceramics in Regulated Medical Fields.
Bringing a new manufacturing technology into medicine requires far more than producing an impressive component. In highly regulated fields, innovation must be translated into repeatable processes, documented quality, reliable materials and, ultimately, evidence of clinical value. Lithoz has spent more than a decade building this bridge for Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM).
