Sustainable reduction reactions in water via in situ hydrogen gas production. University of Antwerp
Microchip based Impedance Sensors for in situ Evaluation of evaluation of Bacterial Biofilm Formation (See2B). KU Leuven
State of the art:
Biofilms are complex, highly variable, surface-associated communities of microorganisms, embedded in a self-produced matrix. Within biofilms bacteria are up to 1000 times more tolerant to antibiotics, disinfectants and other stresses.[1] Several factors contribute to this increased tolerance, such as protection by the biofilm matrix, slow growth and low metabolic activity of bacteria within biofilms, biofilm ...
Novel methods and tools for in situ characterization of composite materials and tissues, and their microstructural changes during mechanical testing using X-ray computed tomography KU Leuven
Socio-economic and Sustainability Aspects of In Situ Remediation Ghent University
The PhD thesis is developing new knowledge in the field of sustainability assessment of remediation technologies and will eventually deliver a novel framework for evaluating remediation technologies, particularly for brownfield revitalization projects. Sustainability appraisal tools specifically for remediation technology evaluation, already exist, however these methods are relatively basic, do not always compare in-situ and ex-situ ...
New CRISPR-dCas9 toolbox for diverse in vitro and in situ applications: from detecting cancer to cell heterogeneity during embryogenesis KU Leuven
Sustainable reductions in water of biorenewable chemicals via in situ hydrogen gas production. University of Antwerp
Production of encapsulated microbubbles for use in non-invasive in situ dosimetry for radiotherapy Hasselt University
In Situ Fourier Transform Infrared equipment for polymer analysis. Ghent University
The application for this research equipment in chemical labs where new polymers are being developed for a wide range of applications, going from new recyclable materials until drug development for cancer and viruses, concerns the replacement of a 20-year old in-situ FTIR equipment that has been used continuously for several research groups to follow chemical reactions, mainly in the area of polymer chemistry.
