Material characterization and damage detection in layered media through the Ultrasonic Polar scan. Ghent University
Non-destructive testing (NDT) refers to techniques used in the life cycle of a structural part of their quality, functionality and 'health' testing without destroying the object, nor affecting its properties. The development of NDT techniques is constantly evolving and needs continuous improvement due to the emergence of new industrial materials, the increasing demand for more sensitive and more quantitative characterization and quality ...
Connecting (organo)silica sol-gel synthesis and membrane electrospinning: pushing toward molecular scale-driven property tuning Ghent University
Today the high potential of (organo)silica branched/crosslinked/network polymers in nanofibrous membranes cannot be exploited to the fullest due to the lack of a straightforward way to produce them. To solve this, a fundamental understanding of how sol-gel synthesis and electrospinning are related via rheology is required. The main bottleneck remains that the viscosity evolution, as the network develops during synthesis, cannot be fully ...
Hybrid perovskites as a material platform for the conversion, emission and detection of light (PROCEED). KU Leuven
PROCEED aims to develop a new hybrid perovskite material platform for next-generation light detectors, emitters and harvesters. Beyond photovoltaics, hybrid perovskites are materials with high potential for highly relevant applications such as X-ray detectors for medical diagnostic imaging and lasers for lighting and display. To make this potential effective, the chemical and structural flexibility of hybrid perovskites will be exploited to ...
Eigencolloids as building blocks: fundamental properties and applications. KU Leuven
Design and Characterization of Quantum Sillicon-Based Devices for Semiconducting Qubit Implementation. KU Leuven
Quantum computers (QC) are predicted to solve relevant problems beyond the reach of even the most powerful supercomputers today. However, to do so, their essential building blocks called quantum bits, or qubits, need to scale up in both quantity and quality. Qubits formed by the spin states of electrons or holes, captured in semiconductor quantum dots are a promising candidate for such large-scale QC. These spin qubits exhibit extremely long ...
Supercapatteries from hierarchically designed biogenic sources KU Leuven
In modern society, charge storage devices are ubiquitous and are predicted to become ever more important in the future. This will need to be supported by fundamental advancements as portable devices become more power-hungry, more charge storage is needed to bridge electricity generation drop- offs as a result of increased reliance on renewable energy sources, and devices require improved charge-discharge cycling stability for example for ...
3D printing point-of-care diagnostics driven by capillary flow KU Leuven
Healthcare takes a central role in society, as it promotes general physical and mental wellbeing of people, next to contributing to a country’s economy, development, and industrialization. Over the last centuries, healthcare has evolved from home remedies towards providing health services from central places like hospitals, which serve both as a treatment facilities and research centers. Nonetheless, this is not affordable nor accessible to ...
