Li, C. (author), Mogollón, J.M. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Dong, J. (author), von Terzi, D. (author), Zhang, C. (author), Steubing, B. (author)Offshore wind energy (OWE) is a cornerstone of future clean energy development. Yet, research into global OWE material demand has generally been limited to few materials and/or low technological resolution. In this study, we assess the primary raw material demand and secondary material supply of global OWE. It includes a wide assortment of...article 2022

van Kleef, M. (author), Bisselink, R. (author), Ansems, T. (author), Kopacek, B. (author)Modern technologies for green electronics like photovoltaic systems and solidstate lighting require increasing amounts of scarce metals. Global demand and price of these materials is expected to increase significantly the coming decades. If not controlled well some of these resources may be exhausted within 20-30 years. Europe is considered to...conference paper 2014

Erinc, M. (author), Zhang, X. (author), Sillekens, W.H. (author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)Magnesium and its alloys are light weight, biodegradable materials. They can be used as metal implants which maintain strength and integrity for the time of recovery, followed by natural dissolution in the body preventing the necessity of implant removal. In addition to the general biocompatibility and biodegradability requirements, these...conference paper 2010

(author)The association between scandium status and risk of acute myocardial infarction (MI) was examined in a multicentre case control study in 10 centres from Europe and Israel. Scandium in toenails was assessed in 684 cases and 724 controls less than 70 years of age. Mean concentrations of toenail scandium were 6.74 μg/kg in cases and 7.75 μg/kg in...article 2002

TNO Milieu, Energie en Procesinnovatie (author), Wang, C. (author), Zhu, W. (author), Wang, Z. (author), Guicherit, R. (author)Atmospheric particulate matter (APM) was collected in Delft, in the western part of the Netherlands, on micro-quartz glass fibre filters from July to September, 1997. The concentrations of rare earth elements (REE) and 9 other metals (Cd, Pb, Fe, V, Ti, Mg, Ca, Na and Al) in the APM were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry...article 2000
