Imaging beyond the fundamental slope limit in surface metrology using fluorophore-aided scattering microscopy (2018)
Presentation / Conference

Topography measurement for smooth surfaces with high slopes, e.g. freeform optics, is a challenging task for optical measuring instruments as the light reflected by the tilted surface cannot be sufficiently collected by the objective, resulting in lo...

Solvent technology development in the EU project HiPerCap: from molecular simulation to technological roadmap for large scale demonstration (2018)
Presentation / Conference

The widest possible range of post-combustion capture technologies, based on solid sorbents, membranes and a wide variety of solvent-based systems, was examined in the EU project HiPerCap (GA No. 608555, 2014-217). The two breakthrough technologies we... Read More about Solvent technology development in the EU project HiPerCap: from molecular simulation to technological roadmap for large scale demonstration.

(Invited) Interaction of Anions with Partially Oxidized Carbon Nanotubes and the Influence on the Performance of Polypyrrole-Carbon Nanotube Composite Electrodes (2018)
Presentation / Conference

Partial oxidation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in mixed HNO3 and H2SO4 is commonly used for the preparation of polymer-CNT composites. This procedure, however, emits toxic NOx fumes, making it difficult for commercial scale-up. Herein we report an envi...

A fast and efficient approach for simulating ultrasonic waves and their interaction with defects in periodic structures (2018)
Presentation / Conference

An approach for simulating transient wave propagation in periodic waveguides is presented. Free and forced propagation of ultrasonic waves is modelled in one dimensional periodic structures. The interaction of ultra-sonic waves with structural inhomo...
