Organisations
Metallurgy, Electrochemistry and Materials Science Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research activities of the Department of Metallurgy, Electrochemistry and Materials Science are mainly oriented towards surface engineering of materials. This implies the study of surface treatments to tailor the surface properties: mechanical, electrical, catalytic, optical and corrosion properties and the use of surface analytical techniques for characterisation of surfaces and interfaces before and after surface treatments. The study ...
Applied Electrochemistry & Catalysis (ELCAT) University of Antwerp
In-Situ Electrochemistry combined with nano & micro surface Characterization Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Materials and Chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Department 'Materials and Chemistry' (MACH) of the Faculty of Engineering of the VUB, combines the research units 'Physical Chemistry and Polymer Science' (FYSC), the 'High Resolution NMR Centre' (HNMR) and 'Electrochemical and Surface Engineering' (SURF). FYSC research activities are focused on '(molecular and supramolecular) structure - processing - property' relations in polymers for developing multi-functional materials with improved ...
Electrical Engineering and Power Electronics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The study group is mainly doing research and teaching in the following domains -Electric and Hybrid Vehicles- where the current activities consists of vehicle evaluation and demonstration, standardisation, drive train simulation, inductive charger development, battery testing and development of state-of-charge measurement techniques. Dissemination activities in collaboration with CITELEC, Association of Cities interested in Electric and ...
Antwerp Electrochemical and Analytical Sciences Lab (A-Sense Lab) University of Antwerp
Electrochemical and Surface Engineering Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research group of Electrochemical and Surface Engineering -SURF- is the merger between the former research groups 'Metallurgy, Electrochemistry and Materials Science' within the 'Materials and Chemistry' department, META/MACH, and 'Computational Electrochemistry Group' within the 'Electrical Engineering' department, CEG-ETEC. Research revolves around 5 cross-linked areas in electrochemical engineering, (nano) surface engineering and their ...
Sustainable Chemistry for Metals and Molecules KU Leuven
Coordination chemistry aims to study the effect of ligand geometry and nature on the central metal ions. These are transition metals (3d, 4d or 5d), lanthanides (4f) and actinides (5f). The symmetry of coordination mainly determines the electronic structure of the metal ions and influences in this way the spectroscopic, electrochemical, thermodynamic and magnetic properties of the complexes. A lot of applications of coordination compounds are ...
Biochemistry, Molecular and Structural Biology KU Leuven
Research on four types of functionally active proteins - Copper proteins : hemocyanins (involved in dioxygen binding). - Thiol proteins: metallothioneins (metal detoxication and donation). - Protease inhibitors: alpha -2-macroglobulin homologues. - Regulatory proteins: cytokines (defencesystems against infection). Aim: to determine, after their isolation or possible induction, the composition and the primary to quaternary structure of these ...
