Hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) is a promising semiconductor as photoanode in solar hydrogen production from photoelectrolysis of water due to its appropriate band gap, low cost and high electrochemical stability in aqueous caustic electrolytes. Operation of such p ...
Most of the existing solutions for Building Integrated PV (BIPV) are based on conventional crystalline Silicon (c-Si) module architectures (glass-glass or glass-backsheet) exhibiting a relatively high weight (12-20 kg/m2). We are working on the development ...
Building materials attenuate the microwaves used for telecommunication depending on their composition and thickness. Modern windows contain glass with a metallic coating. This might cause a low quality of cell phone reception inside some buildings. In orde ...
The dielectric relaxation processes of polymethyl methacrylates that have been functionalized with Disperse Red 1 (DR1) in the side chain (DR1-co-MMA) were studied with temperature dependent impedance spectroscopy and thermally stimulated depolarization cu ...
New BMGs exhibiting strong glass forming ability combined with high hardness have been developed based on the Pt-Si-B ternary system. The effects of partial substitution of platinum by transition metals of the group iron, cobalt, nickel, and copper, as wel ...
High-volume production of monodisperse droplets is of importance for industrial applications due to increased emulsion stability, precise control over droplet volumes, and the formation of periodic arranged structures. So far, parallelized microfluidic dev ...
Photoelasticity is an experimental stress analysis method that can be applied on glass elements to obtain direct quantitative data due to the stress-induced birefringence. This paper presents several applications of photoelasticity in glass industry and re ...
Calcareous fly ashes are high-potential reactive supplementary cementitious materials, which present an interesting alternative to slowly reacting siliceous fly ashes and to slags, which availability is more and more limited. Themain factor against an accu ...
The overall aim of this work has been to develop sustainable solid thermally activated foam precursors suitable for the in-line production of lightweight bio-based foam core sandwich structures with consolidated wood particle facings, using a non-inflammab ...
Precision glass molding is a more cost efficient process for the large volume manufacturing of highly complex optical surfaces than direct manufacturing. Glassy carbon (GC) molds are used for precision glass molding, because they can be operated at tempera ...
