SETTING-UP AND EVALUATION OF UV-IMPRINT LITHOGRAPHY
Jürgen Brugger, Thomas Kiefer, Nao Takano
UV-imprint lithography has attracted attentions since its invention in 1996 together with thermal imprint lithography, which are so-called nanoimprint lithography (NIL). One of the characteristics of UV-imprint lithography is that a polymer layer to be str ...
2006Magnetic and electrostatic effects on the polymerization of water-soluble monomers
Free radical polymerization is the most frequently used technique to produce synthetic polymers. They represent more than 25% of the total volume of materials made by the mankind. 3% thereof correspond to water soluble polymers with annual growth rates est ...
EPFL2006Supported Fe/C and Fe/Nafion/C catalysts for the photo-Fenton degradation of Orange II under solar irradiation
César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Damien Gumy
The physicochemical properties and photocatalytic behavior of Fe/C and Fe/Nafion/C fabrics have been investigated under laboratory conditions (small vial, artificial light) and in large-scale photo-reactors under sunlight to achieve low-cost decontaminatio ...
2005Contribution of anaerobic microbial activity to natural attenuation of benzene in groundwater
Anaerobic biodegradation of hydrocarbons, using a variety of terminal electron acceptors (TEAs), is increasingly being reported both in laboratory studies and in the field. Of all the petroleum hydrocarbons, benzene is considered the most problematical due ...
2003Photoinduced oxidation of carbon nanotubes
Photoinduced phenomena are of general interest for new materials. Recently, photoinduced molecular desorption of oxygen has been reported in carbon nanotubes. Here we present, using thermopower measurements, that carbon nanotubes when exposed simultaneousl ...
2003Degradation kinetics of atrazine and its degradation products with ozone and OH radicals: A predictive tool for drinking water treatment
The present study investigates the degradation of atrazine (2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine) by ozone and OH radicals during ozonation and advanced oxidation processes, with the identification of the main degradation products. Besides t ...
