Energy-efficient and secure implementations for the IoT KU Leuven
The IoT or Internet of Things is defined by, for example, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as the network of physical objects or “things” embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity to enable objects to exchange data with the manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices. Since the creation of the concept in 1999, the IoT has gained a lot of popularity, and, it is still increasingly used in various ...
Internally catalysed covalent exchange reactions for (re-)processable polymer networks Ghent University
In this project, internal catalysis and neighbouring group participation will be investigated for its use in polymer materials. Therefore, 1,4-dicarboxylic acid derivatives and related building blocks will be used for the production of covalent adaptive networks and vitrimer materials with broad application scopes.

Nanostructuring graphene and graphitic substrates for controlled and reproducible functionalization. KU Leuven
Graphene is a new class of promising material with exceptional properties and thus warrants a plethora of potential applications in various domains of science and technology. However, due to intrinsic zero bandgap and inherently low solubility, a prerequisite for the use of graphene in several applications is its controlled and reproducible functionalization in a nanostructured fashion. Being a ‘surface-only’ nanomaterial, its properties are ...
Tissue-Level Tolerance Criteria for Crash-Related Head Injuries: A Combined Experimental and Numerical Approach KU Leuven
Head injury (HI) is the fourth leading cause of death in the Western world and a major source of post-traumatic disability. It is the result of a fierce acceleration or an impact to the head, which can be caused by falls, vehicle accidents, accidental hits in sport and recreation, and assaults. Over the last decade, approximately 4 million people suffered yearly from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in Europe. The epidemiology, social and ...
Implementation of flow technology for continuous microencapsulation through emulsion based techniques KU Leuven
Microcapsules are spherical particles containing a liquid core of active ingredients, protected by a shell material. The release of core material is controlled by the shell material. These principle of microencapsulation, sparked the advent of an extensive range of new controlled release products. As these products have flooded the market, the demand of large scale production methods has increased. In both product development and commercial ...
Separation, sorting and enhanced optical properties of intact carbon nanotubes and their composites. University of Antwerp
In situ XRF and XAS study of Atomic Layer Deposition on flat and porous sustrates - deposition of bimetallic materials. Ghent University
The research involves the development of synchrotron based measuring techniques for the in situ characterisation of an atomic deposition process of inorganic materials in/onto solids. As specific application the deposition and formation of bimetallic materilas are studied.
