The use of recycled polymers within the field of extrusion is difficult due to their often inconsistent viscosity related to variations in composition and molecular weight. Such variations lead to fluctuations in die pressure, requiring continuous adjustments in the extrusion process. This study explores …

In this manuscript we present the results of a four-year monitor among a representative panel of Dutch citizens on the knowledge, awareness and opinions regarding hydrogen. Hydrogen has the potential to play an important role in the energy transition and therefore receives a growing attention. At the …

Collaborating with industry partners, the study investigates the use of digital design and robotic technology to optimize the utilization of residual wood. By employing computational design, custom products can be generated from mixed wood batches, enabling circular applications previously unattainable …

"This expert article presents a comprehensive hydrogen training system that effectively bridges the gap between theoretical classroom knowledge and real-world industrial applications. The system integrates a PEM electrolyzer, hydrogen storage unit, fuel cell, and advanced PLC-based control platform to …

This research aims to evaluate the usability, efficiency, user satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness of different augmented reality hardware in the quality control process within a manufacturing environment. The study focuses on the application of AR technologies to enhance industrial practices, particularly …

Revolutionary advances in technology have been seen in many industries, with the IIoT being a prime example. The IIoT creates a network of interconnected devices, allowing smooth communication and interoperability in industrial settings. This not only boosts efficiency, productivity, and safety but also …

Overusing non-degradable plastics causes a series of environmental issues, inferring a switch to biodegradable plastics. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are promising biodegradable plastics that can be produced by many microbes using various substrates from waste feedstock. However, the cost of PHAs production …

Implementing circular urban supply chains is a major economic transformation that can only work if significant coordination problems between the actors involved are solved.  This requires, on the one hand, the implementation of efficient urban collection technologies, where process industries collaborate …

This paper presents challenges in city logistics for circular supply chains of e-e-waste. Efficient e-waste management is one of the strategies to save materials, critical minerals, and precious metals. E-waste collection and recycling have gained attention recently due to lower collection and recycling …

Seaweeds from the genus Porphyra play a big economic role in seaweed aquaculture, mainly in Asia. In Europe, resources are put towards seaweed cultivation, but without attention to the Porphyra species which is also native to Europe. Different nomenclature and specifications are used to describe Porphyra, …
