Design and Synthesis of Multifunctional PPV-Based Nanoparticles for Multiple Sclerosis Research Hasselt University
A fundamental study of nucleation and growth during thermal and plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition of noble metals using in situ synchtron-based characterization techniques. Ghent University
This project aims at an improved understanding of atomic layer deposition (ALD) of noble metals. In situ x-ray fluorescence and scattering techniques will be used to obtain insights in the formation of nanoparticles during the initial growth phase. The coarsening behavior of the nanoparticles at elevated temperatures and the effect of stabilizingultrathin ALD coatings will be studied as well.
An experimental and theoretical study into the competition between halogen bonding and hydrogen bonding. University of Antwerp
Study of temporal and spatial electrochemical oscillations in ionic liquids. KU Leuven
Metal-organic framework coatings for siderophore triggered release of anti-biofilm compounds KU Leuven
We will study the deposition of metal-organic framework coatings on various types of underlayer (e.g. metal, polymer materials) and study the release of antibiofilm compounds (e.g. heterocyclic structures) from these layers. The MOFs should consist of non-toxic, affordable compounds. The study will comprise measurements of adsorption isotherms and release kinetics of the compounds, and detailed characterization of the MOF stability and ...
Towards creation of artificial plant tissue through 3D food printing KU Leuven
The global food market is constantly evolving due the growing demand for food and changing consumer preferences. Public interest in the concept of personalized foods with tailor made flavor and dietary properties is increasing steadily. In response to this, digital technologies such as additive manufacturing (AM, also known as 3D printing) are being considered for designing and fabricating food in a more flexible manner. Recently, an ...
Electrochemical impedance measurements in an intelligent database for Corrosion . University of Antwerp
The absolute quantification of endogenous levels of neuromedin U and neuromedin S in vivo using nanoLC–ESI-MS/MS Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Carbon Nanotube Bundles for Lightweight and Multifunctional Composites KU Leuven
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have gained considerable attention because of their excellent physical, electrical and mechanical properties. Its excellent properties make CNTs extremely interesting for the use in composites. The CNT-based composites have the potential to provide extremely strong and ultralight new materials. This dissertation aims at exploring novel approaches as well as already established techniques to fabricate CNT bundles that ...
