Stabilizing liquid-liquid interfaces, whether between miscible or immiscible liquids, is crucial for a wide range of applications, including energy storage, microreactors, and biomimetic structures. In this study, a versatile approach for stabilizing the w ...
In the pursuit of a carbon-neutral chemical industry, minimizing fossil feedstock consumption while integrating renewable carbon sources is imperative. Surfactants, inherently amphiphilic, pose challenges in separation and recovery processes. Given their e ...
Open-pore aluminium foams are of interest in thermal management of power electronics due to their large specific surface area, low weight and relatively high thermal conductivity. The replication process is a low-cost and simple foam manufacturing method t ...
The overall aim of this work has been to develop sustainable solid thermally activated foam precursors suitable for the in-line production of lightweight bio-based foam core sandwich structures with consolidated wood particle facings, using a non-inflammab ...
A study has been conducted to review viscoelastic and foam-constitutive models to describe sport ball response to impact with a rigid cylindrical surface. The impact model was developed to simulate a ball-bat collision. Comparisons were made to actual impa ...
The microstructure of porous materials has a significant effect on their transport properties. Engineered cellular ceramics can be designed to exhibit properties at will, thanks to the advances in additive manufacturing. We investigated the heat and mass t ...
Thermal conductivity (k) plays an essential role in functional devices. In some cases, high value is required to transfer heat efficiently. In others, low k assists in maintaining a temperature gradient necessary for device operation. It is profitable to d ...
Miniaturization has been a driving force in many areas of science and technology, most notably in the electronics industry. Droplet-based microfluidics, a methode to produce emulsion drops in a controlled way and at high-throughputs, enables the miniaturiz ...
Composite sandwich panels comprising fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) skins and lightweight material cores are being increasingly used in civil engineering. In several applications, such as fa ades, roof structures and bridge decks, these panels may experien ...
A biocompatible multi-layered structure comprising a first foam layer showing a first degree of porosity and a second foam layer showing a second degree of porosity, both foam layers being attached to one another through an interface, wherein said interfac ...
