Identification and Formulation of Polymers: A Challenging Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Chemistry Lab Assignment Universiteit Hasselt
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 ...
ZnO based sunscreen: the perfect example to introduce nanoparticles in an undergraduate or high school chemistry lab Universiteit Hasselt
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 ...
Immunity induced by a broad class of inorganic crystalline materials is directly controlled by their chemistry Universiteit Gent
There is currently no paradigm in immunology that enables an accurate prediction of how the immune system will respond to any given agent. Here we show that the immunological responses induced by members of a broad class of inorganic crystalline materials are controlled purely by their physicochemical properties in a highly predictable manner. We show that structurally and chemically homogeneous layered double hydroxides (LDHs) can elicit ...
Recent Progress in Vibropolaritonic Chemistry KU Leuven
Vibrational polaritonic chemistry is emerging as an exciting new sub-field of chemistry, one in which strong interactions with optical cavity vacuum fields are another degree of freedom alongside temperature, solvent, catalyst, and so on to modify thermochemical reactivity. The field stands at a fascinating juncture with experimental works on a variety of organic reactions continuing to blossom, just as many theoretical works appear which ...
Rheology of an alkali-activated Fe-rich slag suspension: Identifying the impact of the activator chemistry and slag particle interactions KU Leuven
Iron-silicate slags, originating from metallurgical industry, are upon alkali-activation precursors for synthesis of inorganic polymer binders, which can be used in construction. The slag's rheology is important for certain construction applications, which is for alkali-activated Fe-rich slag suspensions (AAS) still largely unmapped. To identify the contribution of the activator and of an early formed binder to the rheology, the activator ...
