Projects
Electron magnetic resonance study of radiation-induced radical processes in DNA-related systems Ghent University
This project deals with the study of radiation-induced radicals in sugars (e.g., fructose) and DNA-related systems using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and Electron Nuclear Double Resonance (ENDOR).
Molecular modeling of industrially relevant aspects of free radical polymerization mechanisms. Ghent University
Coupling transport phenomena and intrinsic kinetics for free radical polymerization processes Ghent University
The aim of this project is to account for the interaction between transport phenomena and chemical reactions in free radical polymerization processes. In the framework of this project, the evolution of the particle size distribution in a suspension polymerization process and the importance of mixing effects in high-pressure olefin polymerization processes will be modeled.
Fundamental kinetic modeling of the atom radical transfer polymerization of styrenes Ghent University
ATRP is one of the most successful techniques to control the radical polymerization (CRP) of a great variety of monomers. ATRP allows control of molecular mass, molecular mass distribution and functionality in the polymerization of styrenes and enables synthesizing new polymeric materials having specific properties. Although ATRP is a well established technique, its industrial application requires more insight into the kinetics and ...
