Chemistry optimization of metaloxide buffer layers by an aqueous sol-gel chemistry for coated conductors Ghent University
Exploratory comparative study of the impact of simplified finite-rate chemistry in LES-EDC simulations of the UMD line burner Ghent University
This study focuses on incorporating finite-rate chemistry in turbulent combustion modelling in CFD simulations of the UMD line burner, a scenario considered to be representative of fire-induced flows. In this exploratory research, the use of EDC (finite rate chemistry) is compared with predictions obtained with EDM (infinitely fast chemistry) and validated against experimental data involving first and second order statistics. A sensitivity study ...
Identification and Formulation of Polymers: A Challenging Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Chemistry Lab Assignment Hasselt University
Prior to the recycling process, raising awareness of plastic waste impact, e.g., polluting oceans worldwide, is undoubtedly a first attempt to tackle this pandemic environmental issue. With this in mind, the presented practical session is an effort to entice an interdisciplinary audience of science undergraduates toward a sustainable future. The associated assignment focuses on a collaboration of undergraduate chemistry students and engineering ...
IOData: A python library for reading, writing, and converting computational chemistry file formats and generating input files Ghent University
ZnO based sunscreen: the perfect example to introduce nanoparticles in an undergraduate or high school chemistry lab Hasselt University
The experiment described in this article is designed for undergraduates as well as for high school students to help them understand nanoscience in a basic way. The attractive subject of a sunscreen is used to illustrate the properties of nanoparticles. The students prepare particles of Zn(OH)2 by the same reaction either in a microemulsion, a microemulsion contaminated with acetone, or in an aqueous solution. Hereby it is shown that Zn(OH)2 has ...
'Click'-inspired chemistry in macromolecular science: matching recent progress and user expectations Ghent University

The 'complex' chemistry of Cr(III) in deep eutectic solvents : towards sustainable Cr(VI)-free electroplating Ghent University
Steel parts are being subjected to extreme conditions in many industrial applications. A widely used technology for the protection of steel is the electroplating of chromium from aqueous Cr(VI) elec-trolytes. However, the use of these metal-containing solutions is being banned because of the carcinogenic properties of Cr(VI). For several years, researchers in OCAS (R&D center affiliated with ArcelorMittal Ghent) are looking for sustainable ...
