Fine printing method of silver nanowire electrodes with alignment and accumulation

One-dimensional metal nanowires offer great potential in printing transparent electrodes for next-generation optoelectronic devices such as flexible displays and flexible solar cells. Printing fine patterns of metal nanowires with widths <100 ?m is critical for their practical use in the devices. However, the fine printing of metal nanowires...

Coatings for Heat Storage Reactors with Hygroscopic Salts

One of the bottlenecks for realizing a commercial system for thermochemical heat storage using hygroscopic salts is corrosion induced by chemical side-reactions. E.g. when Na2S hydrates are used, we basically deal with corrosion caused by the production of the volatile H2S, threatening metal parts in the reactor and the vacuum system. Based on...

Leading edge erosion of coated wind turbine blades: Review of coating life models

Erosion of the leading edge of wind turbine blades by droplet impingement wear, reduces blade aerodynamic efficiency and power output. Eventually, it compromises the integrity of blade surfaces. Elastomeric coatings are currently used for erosion resistance, yet the life of such coatings cannot be predicted accurately. This review paper gives an...

Roll-to-roll paper sensors (ROPAS); Wireless communicating sensors on paper in the logistic chain

The ROPAS project (Roll-to-roll paper sensors) combines high end electronics and wireless sensors with low cost paper substrates and processing techniques that can be applied on a large scale. Paper is the next step in the printed electronics roadmap of utilising cheaper substrate materials as a replacement of silicon and PET and is generally...
