Removable coatings allow coated interior products to be reused several times, which will significantly extend their lifespan and ensure recyclable waste streams at end-of-life. The PEELDESIGN project ...
In this article of our series on microfluidic lab-on-chips, we describe how to apply and control the temperature in ‘miniaturised’ geometries, as is the case for microfluidic chips. Are you a designer ...
Nanocelluloses are emerging as natural materials with favourable properties for coating industry and can conveniently be applied by spraying technology. The nanocellulose materials are reactive and ...
At the end of 2023, the 3-year BREPLA project, with a focus on Biobased REinforced PLAstics, came to an end. During this project, Sirris worked together with project partner Centexbel – VKC to promote ...
To this day, PTFE is one of the most popular coatings in cookware, due to its high heat-resistance and hydrophobic properties. However, as we learn more about this ‘forever chemical’ and its negative ...
Earlier in this ongoing series of articles on microfluidics in industry, we discussed various development steps for a lab-on-a-chip system. In the project ‘Medical Diagnostics Goes Micro and Smart’ we ...
Ampacimon specialises in grid monitoring solutions. Under the Skywin cluster project 'SW_AMPASENS', the company and its partners Skydrone, Multitel and Sirris jointly developed an innovative solution to install Ampacimon sensors on high-voltage lines by using drones. This initiative stemmed from the need to optimise the use and capacity of high-voltage lines, while overcoming the technical challenges inherent to the installation of these sensors using traditional methods.
The fourth industrial revolution – Industry 4.0 - is accelerating rapidly worldwide as interconnected smart machines, AI and data applications, and cyber-physical production systems have reached a ...
In this article of our series on microfluidic lab-on-chips we discuss some basic principles of how to detect or quantify the amount of biochemical target in a test sample.
A lab-on-a-chip (LoC) makes it possible to miniaturise complex lab processes and perform them fast and accurately on a microscale. In this article we focus on the aspects of flow control in such ...
Innovation in manufacturing plays a key role in reducing the industry’s environmental impact. Recent advances in non-classical manufacturing technologies, such as ultrashort pulsed laser manufacturing ...
