Training in Bio-Inspired Design of Smart Adhesive Materials (BioSmartTrainee)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2015, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2019,
The last half century has seen a tremendous advancement in adhesives technology and has led to widespread replacement of mechanical fasteners with adhesive bonds (e.g. aircraft, automobile, construction, etc.). Bonding to wet, rough and fouled surfaces, however, remains challenging and adhesive technology is rarely applied for bonding in wet conditions, such as in (orthopaedic) medicine. Therefore ...

Tuning the properties of NanoCarbon with Fluorination (NANOCF)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
Low-dimensional carbon structures such as graphene and carbon nanotubes have raised tremendous interest in recent years both from fundamental and technological perspectives. However, the tunability of the density of electronic states of graphene and carbon nanotubes remains a limiting factor for their implementation in modern nanotechnology. It has been recently shown that the energy bandgap of gr ...

Template assisted assembly of METAmaterials using MECHanical instabilities (METAMECH)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
The concept of optical metamaterials has opened completely new perspectives for manipulation of electromagnetic radiation. In contrast to homogenous materials, metamaterials enable qualitatively new features like negative index of refraction. These give rise to new fundamental physical effects, but as well to completely new applications like super-lensing or loss-free molding of the flow of light. ...
