Yang, S. (author), Harmsma, P. (author), Pozo Torres, J.M. (author), Yousefi, M. (author)Studies on physical aspects of nanobubbles, i.e., nanoscopic soft domains at the liquid-solid interface, have been increasingly undertaken in the past few years, see [1-3] and references therein. On the technical application side, specifically in the field of micro- and nanofluidics, it has been conjectured that nanobubbles are responsible for...conference paper 2011

Knoben, W. (author), Brongersma, S.H. (author), Crego-Calama, M. (author)The refractive index sensitivity of localized surface plasmon resonance sensors can be improved by placing the plasmonic metal particles on pillars instead of on a planar substrate. In this paper, a simple and versatile colloidal lithography method for the fabrication of plasmonic Au islands on top of polymer nanopillars is described. The pillar...article 2011

van Vliet, T. (author), van Aken, G.A. (author), de Jongh, H.H.J. (author), Hamer, R.J. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)Recently, considerable attention has been given to the understanding of texture attributes that cannot directly be related to physical properties of food, such as creamy, crumbly and watery. The perception of these attributes is strongly related to the way the food is processed during food intake, mastication, swallowing of it and during the...article 2009

(author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)Key properties of organic coatings, such as mechanical strength and solvent resistance, are greatly influenced by the structure of the polymeric binder. In general, a 3-dimensional polymeric network gives the best properties and therefore most performance coatings have a 3-dimensional network structure. However, 3-dimensional networks cannot...article 2009

Janhoj, T. (author), Frost, M.B. (author), Prinz, J. (author), Ipsen, R. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)This study explored relationships between physical/chemical and sensory properties using a set of 20 low-fat and non-fat cream cheeses. High correlations were found between several descriptors; hand resistance (i.e., tactile firmness) was best predicted by squeezing flow viscometry (r = 0.90) and followed by dynamic oscillation (r = 0.86),...article 2009

de Jongh, H.H.J. (author), Wierenga, P.A. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)There is an ongoing debate about whether a protein surface film at an air-water interface can be regarded as a gelled layer. There is literature reporting that such films show macroscopic fracture behavior and a rheology comparable to three-dimensional protein bulk-networks. If this is the case, a complete description of the formation of...article 2006
