Capacity of water absorption of hollow fibres for filling yarns in artificial turf Ghent University
This project was conducted together with ALPHA-carpets. The capacity of water absorption of hollow PP-fibres was examined and improved, in order to optimize the quality of actual products such as bath maths and towels, but also to be able to bring new products on the market in the future. In the framework of this project, new methods have been written to quantify the water absorption and the drying of hollow fibres. More understanding was ...

Optimisation and research into the production of high-quality hollow fibre reverse osmosis membranes for desalination of brackish water Ghent University
Encapsulation of multiple enzymes in hollow Metal-Organic Framework for heterogeneous cascade biocatalysis. Ghent University
We aim at multifunctional biocatalysts, by immobilizing simultaneously several enzymes into hollow Metal-Organic Frameworks, resulting in recyclable heterogeneous biocatalysts for cascade reactions. We will investigate several immobilization techniques and their impact on the catalytic reactions, for several cascade reactions (in vitro), such as the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine by in-situ generated hydrogen peroxide and the conversion of ...

Proof-of-concept longitudinal follow up of cryptococcosis in mice: Assessment of host-pathogen interaction by using in vivo imaging modalities (MRI, multi-photon microscopy) KU Leuven
Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii (CN/ CG) have emerged as significant human pathogens, giving rise to potentially life-threatening diseases. Infection typically occurs when pathogenic particles are inhaled, leading to pulmonary disease. Following this, dissemination to other organs, particularly the central nervous system, can occur, resulting in the development of meningoencephalitis and/or focal lesions. The precise mechanism ...
Development and characterization of composites based on new and advanced hollow 3D woven structures Ghent University
Creation of 3D hollow tissue structures: - the fabrics with profiled horizontal layers, and slope between compounds - the fabrics with flat horizontal layers, and a straight intermediate compounds - the fabrics with a flat horizontal layers, and slope between compounds - fabrics with stiffeners, fabrics with flat horizontal layers and hexagonal intermediate compounds
