Application of hybrid glass-timber elements in architecture

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero, Paul Ehret, Philipp Eversmann

The following paper explores the application of hybrid timber-glass elements on semi-continuous architectural structures. The use of glass as a structural material opens multiple fields of investigations. Beyond structural matters and safety issues, archit ...

Experimental study on glass edge machining flaw characterization

Pieter Christian Louter, Maria Lindqvist

Knowledge of failure strength is the key to structural glass applications. However, the influence of the manufacturing process on the failure initiation at the glass edge is not well known. For this paper, small-scale glass specimens are tested in four-poi ...

Direct volume variation measurements in fused silica specimens exposed to femtosecond laser

Yves Bellouard

We introduce a new method to investigate localized volume variations resulting from laser exposure. Our method is based on the measurement of fused silica cantilevers deflection from which we calculate the effective stress and density variation in laser-af ...

Novel Laminated Connections

Manuel Santarsiero

As an alternative to standard adhesive connections, the PhD research project ‘Novel Laminated Connections for Structural Glass Applications’, which recently started at the ICOM-EPFL, focuses on the use of polymer foil/interlayer materials to laminate (meta ...

Microfabricated All-Around-Electrode AC Electro-osmotic Micropump

Luca Ribetto

This thesis presents the fabrication and characterisation of AC electro-osmotic micropumps with a simple design and velocity generation enhanced by about four times with respect to devices with simpler designs. Electro-osmosis is a convenient and effective ...

Optically transparent glass micro-actuator fabricated by femtosecond laser exposure and chemical etching

Yves Bellouard

Femtosecond laser manufacturing combined with chemical etching has recently emerged as a flexible platform for fabricating three-dimensional devices and integrated optical elements in glass substrates. Here, we demonstrate an optically transparent micro-ac ...

Ceramic modules for micro solid-oxide fuel cells

Paul Muralt, Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Bo Jiang, Yan Yan

Micro solid-oxide fuel cells (μ-SOFCs) based on microfabrication processes are a promising alternative to batteries for supplying portable electronics, as very high energy densities may be achieved. However, a complete μ-SOFC module is a quite intricate st ...

Simultaneous formation of ferrite nanocrystals and deposition of thin films via a microwave-assisted nonaqueous sol-gel process

Esther Amstad, Markus Niederberger

Combination of the surfactant-free nonaqueous sol-gel approach with the microwave technique makes it possible to synthesize Fe3O4, CoFe2O4, MnFe2O4, and NiFe 2O4 nanoparticles of about 5-6 nm and with high crystallinity and good morphological uniformity. T ...

Experimentally Facile Controlled Polymerization of N-Carboxyan hydrides (NCAs), Including O-Benzyl-L-threonine NCA

Matthew Gibson

It is demonstrated here that three different alpha-amino N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs), including for the first time O-benzyl-L-threonine NCA, can be polymerized in a controlled/"living" fashion without the need for transition metal catalysts or complex custo ...

Atomic structure of the two intermediate phase glasses SiSe4 and GeSe4

Alfredo Pasquarello

The microscopic origin of the intermediate phase in two prototypical covalently bonded A(x)B(1-x) network glass forming systems, where A=Ge or Si, B=Se, and 0
