Molecular-scale driven morphology design for sustainable polymer applications Ghent University
Polymeric materials play a crucial role in our society. A key challenge is the design of multi-functional materials for which dedicated morphologies are needed. Interesting are multi-phase polymerizations aiming at well-defined morphologies for applications such as batteries and composites with increased longevity. Within the polymer reaction engineering field these polymerizations are although less studied with often molecular phenomena ...

Variability of explosive volcanic eruptions: interdependence of source morphology and eruptive style Vrije Universiteit Brussel
human lives on a broad range of scales. Volcanic vent-and-crater
area, from which eruptions are produced, continuously change in
shape due to erosion and material deposition. Recent studies have
shown that morphological changes of this area can strongly impact
the volcanic activity type. However, little has been done to
understand the ...
Understanding the effect of selectively localized nanoparticles on the morphology, crystalline behavior and resulting properties of partially miscible amorphous-crystalline blends KU Leuven
Blending polymers is a cost effective method that offers the possibility to enhance the overall properties by synergistically combining the properties of the components. Apart from copolymers, nanoparticles can compatibilize immiscible polymer blends and alter the thermodynamics and kinetics of demixing in partially miscible blends because they influence the segmental dynamics and intermolecular cooperativity. In semi-crystalline polymers, ...

The role of Brassinosteroids and Gibberellic acid in UV-B regulated plant morphology Ghent University
In the past, Ultraviolet B (UV-B) was mainly documented as a stress factor, yet now it is wellknown
that UV-B light affects plant morphology and metabolism through a specific UV-B
photoreceptor pathway (UVR8). In the model dicot plant Arabidopsis, UV-B inhibition of
elongation and cell expansion yields small, compact plants. A large portion of this response is
mediated by UVR8. Although, a role for ...
