Crystallization and melting behavior of phytosterol esters and their phase behavior in blends with palm oil KU Leuven
Phytosterols are plant based compounds with chemical structures similar to cholesterol and have nutritionally beneficial properties, more specifically a blood cholesterol lowering effect. In order to increase their lipid solubility and thus facilitate their incorporation into fat containing food products, phytosterols are esterified with fatty acids (FA) to obtain phytosterol esters. Addition of PE to fat (containing products) will ...

Compressive failure of unidirectional composites: efficient computational micromechanics and experimental validation KU Leuven
Compressive failure in the fibre direction is a crucial failure mode to consider in the design of fibre-reinforced composite structures. Unfortunately, the lack of reliable models for this failure mode often leads to overdesigned and inefficient components. While the literature has a global idea of the governing parameters, we currently do not know which combination of microstructural features triggers compressive failure. I will therefore ...
