Processing of non-ferromagnetic materials in strong static magnetic field KU Leuven
Static magnetic field processing of non-ferromagnetic materials has been of broad interest and been applied in such fields as drug delivery, colloid chemistry and engineering of materials containing particles. A 'strong' magnetic field refers to a 'strong' response from the manipulated material and can vary in definitions. The response is corresponding to a local interaction between the material and the local magnetic field, being influenced by ...
Study of Origin, Impact and Solutions of Processing Damage in Low Dielectric Constant Materials for Advanced Interconnect Applications. KU Leuven
Hedentendage worden poreuze lage-k materialen, gebaseerd op silica en silsesquioxanen met 10-15% organische (koolstof bevattende) hydrofobe groepen, beschouwd als de preferentiële materialen voor geavanceerde interconnectie technologieën. Blootstelling van deze lagen aan een (ets) plasma leidt tot verlies van deze hydrofobe groepen en densificatie van het silica netwerk. De draagwijdte van de schade is sterk afhankelijk van de porositeit van het ...
Influence of raw materials and processing on the structure of gel-type emulsified meat products KU Leuven
Cooked sausages can be classified as gel-type emulsified meat products. They are produced by finely comminuting a lean meat fraction, fat, ice and additives in order to obtain a raw meat batter. The raw meat batter is stuffed into casings, heated (pasteurized) and cooled to obtain the final meat product. The fat fraction, generally pork back fat, in raw meat batters is macroscopically solid due to the low temperature during processing. As such, ...
3-D radar image processing methodology for non-destructive testing of aeronautics composite materials and structures Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Recently, there has been a significant interest in employing$nhigh frequency radar imagery for many industrial oriented and security$napplications. The quality control of aeronautics composite multi-layered$nmaterials and structures through Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is the$nmain focus of this study. The main motivations for using this technology$nare: it allows penetration of most non-metal and non-polarized$nmaterials, it provides the ...
Novel processing of Ag-WC electrical contact materials using spark plasma sintering KU Leuven
Ag-WC (60-40 wt%) contact materials based on three WC particle size powders were doped with 0.1 wt% Ni and processed by an appropriate powder pre-treatment followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The contacts produced were already bonded to a copper profile during SPS in order to eliminate additional processing steps. The SPS composites had a more homogeneous microstructure and were tougher and softer than the materials produced by ...
Molecular Basis of Processing Wheat Gluten toward Biobased Materials KU Leuven
The unique properties of the wheat grain reside primarily in the gluten-forming storage proteins of its endosperm. Wheat gluten's structural and functional properties have led to an expanding diversity of applications in food products. However, its viscoelastic properties and low water Solubility also are very interesting features for nonfood applications. Moreover, gluten is annually renewable and perfectly biodegradable, In the processing and ...
Synergism of the initial stage of removal of dielectric materials during electrical erosion processing in electrolytes Universiteit Antwerpen
Ceramics and composites, many of whose physicochemical properties significantly exceed similar properties of metals and their alloys, are processed qualitatively mainly by the electroerosion method. Despite the existing works, the mechanism of the initial stage of the removal of materials has not yet been identified. For a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of the removal of dielectrics, a new model is proposed based on the ...
Manipulation of matter by electric and magnetic fields: Toward novel synthesis and processing routes of inorganic materials KU Leuven
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd The use of external electric and magnetic fields for the synthesis and processing of inorganic materials such as metals and ceramics has seen renewed interest in recent years. Electromagnetic energy can be utilized in different ways to improve or accelerate phase formation and stabilization, chemical ordering, densification and coarsening of particle-based materials (pore elimination and grain growth), and mechanical ...
Application of peat, wood processing and agricultural industry by-products in producing the insulating building materials Universiteit Antwerpen
One of the most important problems nowadays is energy efficiency securing. In the present paper thermal insulation materials were designed, their mechanical and insulation properties were optimized. Special attention is paid to the peat, wood processing industry and agricultural by-products which are used in composite production. The activation of the raw materials allows not only to improve existing properties and open the new ones but also to ...
