Bacteria inactivation during the drying of struvite fertilizers produced from stored urine

Tamar Kohn, Loïc Decrey, Simon Schindelholz, Manfred Schoger, Kai Udert

Human urine can be processed into market-attractive fertilizers like struvite; however, concerns regarding the microbial safety of such products remain. The present study evaluated the inactivation of in situ heterotrophs, total bacteria as observed by flo ...

Cellulose nanofiber network for moisture stable, strong and ductile biocomposites and increased epoxy curing rate

John Christopher Plummer, Sylvain Cyril Claude Galland, Lars Berglund

Nanocomposites with high volume fractions (15-50 vol%) of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) were prepared by impregnation of a wet porous NFC network with acetone/epoxy/amine solution. Infrared spectroscopy studies revealed a significant increase in curing r ...

Decreasing the size of printed comb electrodes by the introduction of a dielectric interlayer for capacitive gas sensors on polymeric foil: Modeling and fabrication

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Francisco Molina Lopez

In this work we present a novel strategy to fabricate printed comb electrodes devices with decreased size by the introduction of a thin dielectric layer between the two combs. The electrical insulation of the two polarities prevents short-cuts occurring be ...

Direct current breakdown in gases for complex geometries from high vacuum to atmospheric pressure

Christoph Hollenstein, Alan Howling, Ralph Schnyder

The demand for improved performances of power transmission devices requires ever smaller dimensions and higher working voltages which lead to increased risk of breakdown, for example, in satellite slip rings. Previous works are mostly limited to breakdown ...

On inkjet-printed flexible capacitive micro gas sensors: towards digital fabrication

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Francisco Molina Lopez

This work presents the evolution of inkjet-printed capacitive micro gas sensors through the development of three different consecutive generations, moving on from planar interdigitated electrodes (IDE) to parallel plates structures. The sensors are compose ...

Foil-to-foil lamination and electrical interconnection of printed components on flexible substrates

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Andres Felipe Vasquez Quintero

This paper describes and compares two integration methods to structurally laminate and interconnect foil-based components with flexible polymeric substrates. The first method uses isotropic conductive adhesives (ICA) confined in laser-ablated through foil ...

Ultra-low power hydrogen sensing based on a palladium-coated nanomechanical beam resonator

Jürgen Brugger, Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Jonas Gustav Henriksson

Hydrogen sensing is essential to ensure safety in near-future zero-emission fuel cell powered vehicles. Here, we present a novel hydrogen sensor based on the resonant frequency change of a nanoelectromechanical clamped-clamped beam. The beam is coated with ...

Inkjet printed capacitive transducers on flexible plastic substrates with increase stability

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Francisco Molina Lopez

Inkjet printed interdigitated transducers have been produced on flexible substrates and optimized for gas sensing applications by improving the sintering conditions and employing additional passivation procedures, like electroplating with Ni or whole trans ...

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators for Microfluidics

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Luc Maffli

One of the goals of microfluidics is to bring a whole laboratory processing chain on a few square centimeters, Lab-On-Chips (LOC). But current LOCs require many heavy and power-consuming off-chip controls like pneumatics, pumps and valves, which keep the s ...
