Variable sensitivity multimaterial robotic e-skin combining electronic and ionic conductivity using electrical impedance tomography Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Electronic skins (e-skins) aim to replicate the capabilities of human skin by integrating electronic components and advanced materials into a flexible, thin, and stretchable substrate. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has recently been adopted in the area of e-skin thanks to its robustness and simplicity of fabrication compared to previous methods. However, the most common EIT configurations have limitations in terms of low sensitivities ...
Challenges in the microwave heating of structured carbon adsorbents Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Microwave heating is a promising method for achieving energy-efficient electrification of temperature swing adsorption processes. However, to successfully design the adsorbent bed and the regeneration step, it is crucial to analyse the limited penetration depth of microwaves. In this study, we present the first comprehensive investigation of microwave heating applied to large structured activated carbon adsorbents. The experiments were ...
Separating Kinetics from Relaxation Dynamics in Reactive Soft Matter by Dielectric Spectroscopy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
FEM modelling to predict spatiotemporally resolved water uptake in organic coatings: Experimental validation by odd random phase electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements Vrije Universiteit Brussel
uptake in organic coatings. To this aim, we start from a physical model, where not only Fickian diffusion of
water is taken into account but also the adsorption/desorption reaction of water on the polymer matrix. Starting
from a number of important coating properties and crucial model parameters, derived from gravimetric and
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements as the model input, the local water ...
