A unique way of teaching practical aspects of renewable energy technologies has been experimented in the University of Oldenburg since 1987. An energy laboratory (Energielabor), built in 1982 and powered by renewable energy sources, has been used for practical training, lectures and office space for …

In this study, we experimentally investigated the material flows of coloured dyes in coalescing small inkjet printed droplets of different volume ratios. With two differently coloured dyes, one in each droplet, we were able to distinguish the time-resolved contributions in dye transport across the coalescence …

The aim of this applied research is to design a sustainable industrial scale enzyme based flax retting process. A systematic approach has been adopted. The screening and selection of enzymes for flax retting has been carried out. Alkaline pectinase has been identified as the most appropriate enzyme for …

The medical back belt with integrated neuromuscular electrical stimulation is anorthopedic device, which has two main functions. The first function is to stimulate the backmuscles by using a neuromuscular electrical stimulation device that releases regular,electrical impulses. The second function of …

For the recycling of carpet and artificial turf the latex backing is often a real stumble block. Many strategies have been developed like freezing the carpet, followed by grinding and subsequent separation of the milled particles. Once it has been separated from its backing materials, PA 6 is relatively …

Materialen zijn de bouwstenen van innovatie. Om tot innovaties te komen is kennis over welke nieuwe materialen en technologieën er bestaan een voorwaarde. Voor veel kleinere bedrijven is het lastig om alle nieuwe ontwikkelingen te volgen. Bovendien is alleen weten dat ze bestaan niet genoeg. De stap …

The recycling of post consumer cotton textile waste is highly requested, due to the high environmental impact of cotton production. Often cotton is mixed in blends with polyethylene terephthalate (PET). For the generation of high value products from recycled cotton, it essential that PET is separated …

The architecture of TP 53 , the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer, is more complex than previously thought. Using TP 53 variants as clinical biomarkers to predict response to treatment or patient outcome requires an unequivocal and standardized procedure toward a definitive strategy for the …

In de textielindustrie wordt veel water gebruikt.Tijdens vrijwel alle veredelingsprocessen speel water een rol. In het Europese samenwerkingsverband 'The Textile flagships: TFE 2, from wet to dry ' wordt hierover nagedacht. De belangrijkste doelstelling is de textielindustrie in staat te stellen om …

De verwachte groei van de wereldbevolking zal ook leiden tot een toename van de textielconsumptie. Deze overtreft de verwachte procentuele groei van de bevolking als gevolg van de tegelijkertijd stijgende consumptie per capita. De stijging van de consumptie van textiel tot het jaar 2050 zal tussen de …
