The protection of metal surfaces against corrosion is commonly achieved by the application of organic coatings. A dedicated evaluation of those coating systems is strictly necessary before putting them into service. While outdoor test programs are time intensive and accelerated corrosion ... En savoir plus

Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducers (PMUTs) are gaining increasing interest as miniaturized, low-power devices which can be easily integrated with electronic systems for applications such as medical imaging, therapeutic ultrasound, and particle manipulation. This work ... En savoir plus

One of the advantages of microwave heating of a dielectric material is the direct transfer of electromagnetic energy to the core of the dielectric through interactions between electromagnetic waves and the dielectric, without heating the surrounding elements [1]. For an industrial ... En savoir plus

Exciting plasma in inductive mode is attractive due to the high electron density and the absence of ion interaction with the reactor walls. However, any real system excites plasma at low power in capacitive mode with strong interaction with the walls. The transition from one mode to the ... En savoir plus

Seco Tools produces inserts for machining metals. Roughly half the number of inserts Seco Tools produces are coated by Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) which extends the inserts lifetime in machining operations significantly. More than 10 000 inserts are coated on trays in each CVD run. ... En savoir plus

Swellable microneedles (SMN) have gained a lot of attention to the transport of drugs in the skin. Microneedle swells by absorbing interstitial fluid, causing the loaded drug to transport into the skin without polymer dissolution which reduces the chance of infection and skin irritation. ...

The renewable energy sector faces challenges in production processes due to geo-economic, and environmental issues. This had led to an increased interest in the use of solar energy as an alternative to fossil fuel based energy sources. In the solar energy field, significant research ... En savoir plus

At University College London, Applied Analytical Chemistry MSc course, we have used COMSOL Multiphysics as an alternative to laboratory-based student research projects. Use of computational modelling enabled students to complete their research work remotely while gaining experience in ... En savoir plus

The study of the movement of solutes and their interaction with the solid phase of active clays is a problem of maximum interest in various geoenvironmental engineering applications, but especially in the deep geological disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other highly radioactive ...

Abstract. A Laser Focusing system (LFS) focuses a single laser beam (single Channel) or multiple laser beams (multi - channel) onto a surface (Specimen). The general motive of a LFS is to focus a train of brief pulses or a continuous beam of light onto a Specimen which heats up its ... En savoir plus
