Advancements in Laser-Powder Bed Fusion: A Study on Machine, Process and In-Situ Monitoring Technology KU Leuven
This dissertation discusses advancements in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) technology. L-PBF is an additive manufacturing technology, where components are fabricated by the addition of material as opposed to material removal as is common in more traditional substractive methods. In L-PBF, metallic components are produced from a metal powder deposited in layers and locally melted by a laser source and a x-y mirror system. As such, components ...
IOF Proof Of Concept: Demonstrator of an 8-channel space-division-multiplexing optical data link based on speckle Vrije Universiteit Brussel
current ICT society. The explosive growth in telecommunication demands has asked
for the development of techniques that offer ever higher data capacity. Therefore,
there has been extensive research in the past few years on how to exploit the spatial
degree of freedom in a single fiber. This has led to the development of space division ...
Carbon nanotubes as emerging near-infrared emitting materials : a route towards their integration in organic light-emitting diodes. Hasselt University
Scaling up multiphase photoreactions utilizing repetitive structures KU Leuven
Photochemistry has many benefits such as high selectivity, mild reaction conditions and access to new reaction pathways. A high selectivity reduces the number of downstream processes required to obtain a product with the desired purity. Furthermore, it is expected that energy costs will increase, making energy-intensive processes, where high temperatures and pressures are used, less feasible. New reaction pathways can reduce the required ...
Center for nano- and biophotonics (NB-Photonics) Ghent University
The Center for Nano- and Biophotonics sets up research lines in the area of nanoparticles, microlaser technology and optical switches, biosensors, bio-spectroscopy, scanning of biomaterials, electro-optical particle manipulation and active nanophotonic implants.
This project aims at a comprehensive view on the physicochemistry of nanocrystal-ligand systems. For this
purpose, we will develop the potential of solution NMR as an ...
Multiscale experimental and numerical characterisation of textile reinforcements for enhanced nano-interleaved composites Ghent University
The unique combination of light and flexible, but strong structures, makes textile materials well suited for technical engineering applications. Especially, fibre reinforced composites are seeing a tremendous growth for designing light-weight structural components. The fibres, the building blocks of any textile, and their arrangement in the composite (microstructure) determine the obtainable mechanical properties. It is thus of utmost ...
The Effects of Particles on the Dynamics of Sheared Droplets KU Leuven
Polymer blending is a commonly used technique to create new polymer materials that combine the properties of their components. Polymer blends are multiphasic materials and hence, their final material properties not only depend on the type of polymers and concentration, but also on the final blend microstructure. This microstructure is formed during processing wherein a complex flow field is applied. Hence, understanding the relation between ...
