Polymer-based microfluidic chip production is ideally suited for high-volume, low-cost applications such as bedside diagnostics, quality control in the field and rapid sample preparation for analysis. A range of different techniques are used that make it possible to produce microscopic patterns on ...

Microfluidics - the manipulation of fluids at micro-scale - offer considerable advantages, such as a significant reduction in the volumes of samples, reagents and waste. Unique chemical and physical functions, derived from this scale, open the way to innovative applications. Designing a microfluidic ...

In many industries test samples are taken on a regular basis to check or analyse their composition. These samples take a whole course, from collection to appropriate action, which takes up (too) much time and resources. Thanks to microfluidics, these process steps can now be carried out on a “lab-on ...

Errors in machined parts are closely associated with errors in the machine tool, and usually they are identified as deviations of the actual cutting point from the nominal or commanded position or trajectory in the workspace. For the evaluation and measurement of machine tool accuracy, it is deemed ...

Friction and wear play a major role in modern society. The operation of many mechanical systems, including vehicles, machines and consumer goods directly depends on appropriate friction and wear properties. Energy and raw material use can also often be directly linked to the losses that occur due to ...

Polyester composites have become a staple in various industries, from aerospace to automotive, due to their remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. However, the production process of polyester composites is not without its environmental challenges. One significant ...

An innovative, plasmonic paint system uses nanoparticles to create structural colours without the need for multiple pigments. This system, which needs less product and is more colour stable, is also more environmentally friendly, lighter and cheaper than traditional paint systems.

To meet the market’s demand for less expensive but equally performing materials for high-temperature applications, Omco developed an equivalent alternative.

At the request of the foundries and their customers, Sirris will start another foundry technology course in the autumn of 2023. The series of lessons consists of a combination of traditional location-based sessions - at Sirris in Zwijnaarde - and online sessions. This course offers you practical, in ...
