Cellulose acetate based membranes for PRO. KU Leuven
In this research, PRO membranes made of cellulose acetate will be synthesizedusing the phase inversion technique. The synthesis parameters will be systematically examined and ...
An important aspect in the fast developing field of nanotechnology is the understanding of how properties evolve when reducing the dimensions to the nanoscale. Spatial confinement of phonons in nanostructures can strongly affect the phonon density of states and related properties. Despite the importance of understanding the vibrational behaviour at the nanoscale, lattice vibrations in nanostructures have been less explored due to the ...
The properties of existing polymers can be improved by adding a minor fraction of nanoparticles that are small (nanometer range) in at least one dimension. Block copolymers with a controlled structure will be added as an efficient stabilizer for the nanoparticles. The influence of the microstructure or composition of the block copolymers on its stabilization efficiency will be investigated. In addition various applications for the obtained ...

The local structure around luminescent lanthanide ions inside a nanoparticle will be investigated by the synchrotron based techniques EXAFS and HEXS, as well as by UV-vis-NIR absoroption and luminescence spectroscopy. The knowledge about the local symmetry, the number of neighboring ions and the distance to the central lanthanide ion will be related to the luminescence performance of the nanoparticle, in order to optimize synthetic pathways ...
