Biodegradable Frequency‐Selective Magnesium Radio‐Frequency Microresonators for Transient Biomedical Implants

Jürgen Brugger, Giovanni Boero, Matthieu Jean Michel Rüegg, Remo Blum

Bioresorbable implantable medical devices show a great potential for applications requiring medical care over well‐defined periods of time. Once their function is fulfilled, such implants naturally degrade and resorb in the body, which eliminates adverse l ...

Preventing Lignin Condensation to Facilitate Aromatic Monomer Production

Jeremy Luterbacher, Wu Lan

Lignin is the most abundant aromatic polymer in nature and as such is an attractive source of aromatic molecules. Efficient lignin utilization will also likely play a key role in the economic success and sustainability of biomass valorization schemes. Howe ...

Influence of the stacking sequence on the low-energy impact resistance of flax/PA11 composite

Yann Albert Gérard Lebaupin

In this paper, the low-energy impact behavior of a fully biobased composite made of bio-sourced polyamide 11 resin reinforced with flax fibers was investigated. Different composite laminates were studied in order to determine the stacking sequence effects ...

Equivalent pier analysis of full-scale pile groups subjected to mechanical and thermal loads

Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria

This study presents an equivalent pier analysis of the vertical deformation and displacement of full-scale pile groups subjected to mechanical and thermal loads that are associated with a structural support and a geothermal heat exchanger operation, respec ...

Recycling Plastic and Marine Debris: What Can Be Done about Bottle Caps?

When will the weight of all fish in the ocean equal the weight of plastic discards in the ocean? These plastic discards in the water impacts birds and sea life around the world. Just as the canary in the coal mine forewarns of danger, the Laysan or Pacific ...

Adhesive wear mechanisms in the presence of weak interfaces

Jean-François Molinari, Tobias Brink

Despite the relevance of wear in many engineering applications, our understanding of the connection between mechanisms at the nanoscale and the observed wear rates of contacting parts at the macroscale remains limited. Recent work in our group has therefor ...

Surface water treatment by UV/H2O2 with subsequent soil aquifer treatment: impact on micropollutants, dissolved organic matter and biological activity

Urs von Gunten, Fabienne Eugster, Thomas Wintgens

Because organic micropollutants (MP) are frequently detected in river waters that are used as drinking water sources, combining a relatively cost-efficient natural treatment with upstream advanced oxidation processes (AOP) appears promising for their effic ...

Highly Selective Oxidation and Depolymerization of α,γ-Diol Protected Lignin

Jeremy Luterbacher, Jean Thierry C Behaghel de Bueren, Wu Lan

Lignin oxidation offers a potential sustainable pathway to oxygenated aromatic molecules. However, current methods that use real lignin tend to have low selectivity and a yield that is limited by lignin degradation during its extraction. We developed stoic ...

Strain-induced dissolution of Y-Ti-O nano-oxides in a consolidated ferritic oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel

Roland Logé, Mathijs Pieter van der Meer

The present study shows the influence of severe plastic deformation on highly stable Y-Ti-O nano-oxides present in ferritic ODS alloys used for nuclear applications. An innovative strain path implying alternated compressions was used to deform the material ...
