Polymer Filaments for Fused Filament Fabrication: Expanding the Current Material Palette to meet Requirements of Advanced Applications KU Leuven
Over the past decades, Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies have become increasingly popular and widespread, which is reflected in the huge growth in revenues from AM-related products and astonishing surge in publications and research related to the field. This is a direct consequence of the inherent characteristics, including freedom-of-design, redundancy of part-specific tooling and huge material savings, shared by all AM techniques, ...
Mesoscale modelling of microstructure evolution in polycrystalline materials consisting of multiple components and phases using the phase-field method. KU Leuven
Many materials of technical importance (structural materials, thin films and nanomaterials) are metallic alloys of multiple chemical elements (Fe,C,Ni,Cr,Al,Cu,Ge,\ldots) and are heterogeneous on a microscopic scale. They consist of grains or domains (which have a size ranging from a few nanometers
up to a mm) with a different crystal structure, orientation and composition. The macroscopic properties of an alloy, for example its ...
Understanding the functional properties of pectin-depleted citrus fiber as texturizing ingredient KU Leuven
The high production of citrus fruits worldwide, with large proportion of the harvested fruits going into the processing industry, creates a high volume of by-product which may become a burden for food companies and for the environment. On the other hand, citrus by-product is rich in cell wall material (CWM), also more commonly known as dietary fiber, which has been widely studied for its excellent techno-functionality and health-related ...
