Enabling simultaneous reprocessability and fire protection via incorporation of phosphine oxide monomer in epoxy vitrimer
Véronique Michaud, Valentin Rougier
The conception of epoxy thermosets with both reprocessability and flame retardancy delineates a new horizon in polymer science, offering a material solution that is not only superior in fire safety but is also environment friendly. Herein, a flame-retardan ...
Journal Mater Sci Technol2024Gamma-Blind Fast Neutron Detection for Spent Nuclear Fuel Characterization
In this thesis, the development and testing of a system for measuring the axial distribution of fast neutron emission of spent nuclear fuel rods is presented. Emphasis is placed on the novel fast neutron detector used which can reliably work in extremely h ...
EPFL2023High-resolution scintillation detector for two-dimensional reconstruction
Alessandro Mapelli, Arnaud Bertsch, Fabrizio Carbone, Veronica Leccese
A scintillation device including a silicon plate having a rectangular shape and having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the first side includes a plurality of first channels arranged to be in parallel with each other extendin ...
2023High-Performance CMOS SPAD-Based Sensors for Time-of-Flight PET Applications
Detecting light, photon by photon, has been possible since the 1930s, with the invention of the photomultiplier tube (PMT). However, it is only since the 1970s, that solid-state single-photon detectors have emerged and only since 2003 that a new technology ...
EPFL2022Ultralow secondary electron emission and improved vacuum surface insulation of polyimide with scalable nanocomposite coating
Polymers with high surface electric insulation capability are greatly demanded in various electrical devices operating in vacuum ambient. Low secondary electron emission (SEE) is favorable to mitigate vacuum flashover by inhibiting the SEE avalanche across ...
ELSEVIER2022Reversible and Broad-Range Oxygen Sensing Based on Purely Organic Long-Lived Photoemitters
Esther Amstad, René M. Rossi, Efe Armagan
The detection of oxygen (O-2) by optical sensors is of growing importance, for example, in biology, life science, environmental science, and aerodynamics, where the composition of gases is crucial for many applications. Purely organic optical O-2 sensors a ...

A new compact gamma-ray spectrometer was developed in order to optimise the measurement of bremsstrahlung radiation emitted from runaway electrons in the MeV range. The detector is based on a cerium doped lutetium-yttrium oxyorthosilicate (LYSO:Ce) scintil ...
2018The new versatile general purpose surface-muon instrument (GPS) based on silicon photomultipliers for μSR measurements on a continuous-wave beam
We report on the design and commissioning of a new spectrometer for muon-spin relaxation/rotation studies installed at the Swiss Muon Source (SμS) of the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI, Switzerland). This new instrument is essentially a new design and replac ...
2017Healing of a glass fibre reinforced composite with a disulphide containing organic-inorganic epoxy matrix
Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Wouter Post
We report the development of an intrinsic healing glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite based on a disulphide-containing organic-inorganic thermoset matrix. Thermomechanical experiments showed that the newly developed matrix has a combination of ...
Elsevier2017Adhesion and interfacial healing between supramolecular hybrid networks and glass substrates
Véronique Michaud, Federica Sordo
Adhesion towards glass and interfacial healing of partially supramolecular hybrid polymer networks featuring a range of H-bdnds content were investigated through two dedicated adhesion test methods. In a first series of tests, adhesion strength was measure ...
