(author), Adan, O.C.G. (author)The risk of corrosion poses a challenge to meet the stringent reliability requirements of microelectronic devices that are used in harsh environments. Microelectronic devices are often encapsulated in polymer packaging materials, which protect them from corrosion. These polymers are, however, not completely hermetic and thus allow small amounts...article 2022

van Soestbergen, M. (author), Herrmann, A. (author), Erich, S.J.F. (author), Adan, O.C.G. (author)The diffusivity of substances, such as moisture, through polymer composites is often described by an effective macroscopic quantity, even though microscopically the diffusivity might be far from uniform. In this work, we study the theoretical example of a permeable matrix containing equal-sized impermeable spheres. We assume that, due to...article 2021

(author)In addition to the desired aesthetical properties, a coating is applied to protect against weathering. A coating prevents moisture accumulation in wood by reducing the water uptake into the wood by its barrier function. The studies in the coating permeability has gained interest with the shift towards waterborne coatings, which make coatings...article 2019

(author)An important reason to apply coatings on wood is to protect wood against moisture. As a result of regulations and ecological concerns, there has been a shift towards waterborne coatings, which make coatings intrinsically more sensitive to water. As a consequence of the higher sensitivity to water, the durability of both wood and coatings can be...article 2018

The influence of calcium and zirconium based secondary driers on drying solvent borne alkyd coatingsErich, S.J.F. (author), Gezici-Koç, Ö. (author), Michel, M.E.B. (author), Thomas, C.A.A.M. (author), van der Ven, L.G.J. (author), Huinink, H.P. (author), Flapper, J. (author), Duivenvoorde, F.L. (author), Adan, O.C.G. (author)Cobalt based driers are the most commonly used primary catalysts in alkyd coatings as they promote fast drying and lead to hard coatings. However, several studies have suggested potential reclassification of cobalt-based alkyd driers. Therefore, cobalt based driers are being replaced by alternatives, e.g. based on iron or manganese. In practice...article 2017
