van den Heuvel, S. (author), Bakhuys Roozeboom, M.M.C. (author), Eekhout, I. (author), Venema, A. (author)This report examines barriers to and drivers of workplace psychosocial risk management, and how this is influenced by different national and organisational contexts. The exposure of workers to psychosocial risks is increasing. However, the level of risk and the effectiveness of management vary across sectors and countries. Based on the findings...report 2018

Kuntze, T. (author), Wollmann, P. (author), Fledderus, H. (author)The proper long term operation of organic electronic devices like organic photovoltaics OPV depends on their resistance to environmental influences such as permeation of water vapor. Major efforts are spent to encapsulate OPV. State of the art is sandwich-like encapsulation between two ultra-barrier foils. Sandwich encapsulation faces two major...conference paper 2017

(author)Organic light-emitting diodes degrade rapidly by means of local cathode oxidation when exposed to the ambient atmosphere, resulting in visible non-emissive areas called black spots. High performance inorganic based encapsulations are required to protect the OLED. We have applied a hybrid thin-film encapsulation stack consisting of two inorganic...article 2017

Kanellis, M. (author), de Jong, M.M. (author), Slooff, L.H. (author), Debije, M.G. (author)In this work we describe the relative performance of the largest luminescent solar concentrator (LSC)constructed to date. Comparisons are made for performance of North/South and East/West facing panels during a sunny day. It is shown that the East/West panels display much more varied performance during the day, as the structural elements of the...article 2017
