The NANOSPRESSO project is a pioneering response to the complex challenge of treating orphan diseases, which, despite affecting millions of people globally, have only scant therapeutic options. This initiative represents a paradigm shift by decentralizing the production of personalized nucleic acid nanomedicines. Integrating …

3D lithography by two-photon photopolymerization enables the fabrication of complex microstructures that incorporate nanomaterials assembled in a controlled manner. This technology holds promise in various fields such as optics, photonics, biology, and nanomedicine. It is also being used in the renewable …

An important step towards improving performance while reducing weight and maintenance needs is the integration of composite materials into mechanical and aerospace engineering. This subject explores the many aspects of composite application, from basic material characterization to state-of-the-art advances …

Sensor platforms can benefit from the incorporation of polymerbrushes since brushes can concentrate the analyte near the sensor surface. Brushesthat absorb acetone vapor are of particular interest since acetone is an importantmarker for biological processes. We present a simple procedure to synthesize …

Er is veel gaande op de hogescholen. Bij de opleiding technische natuurkunde wordt onderzoek doen belangrijker en het onderwijs wordt daarop aangepast. Wat is de achtergrond van de hbo-bachelorcurricula en wat zijn de recente ontwikkelingen?

Poster presentatiion, project Printing Makes Sense at Saxion Research Conference 2018, Deventer.  Photonics is declared one of the key enabling technologies by the European Commission. Photonics finds its application in many fields ranging from health & well-being to smart industries. Automation in …

Integrated photonic sensors are promising devices for various sensing applications due to their low cost, small size, and high sensitivities that can be reached. In this thesis, ring resonators and three-port Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) devices fabricated on Silicon-On-Insulator were compared for …

Micro Ring Resonators (MRRs) have become the workhorse in photonics, both for data/telecomas well as bio-chemical sensing applications. In this contribution the use of MRRs as sensors for food-safety applications will be discussed.

Human exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) can occur via ingestion of indoor dust, inhalation of PBDE-contaminated air and dust-bound PBDEs. However, few studies have examined the pulmonary toxicity of particle-bound PBDEs, mainly due to the lack of an appropriate particle-cell exposure …
