Friction and wear play a major role in modern society. The operation of many mechanical systems, including vehicles, machines and consumer goods directly depends on appropriate friction and wear properties. Energy and raw material use can also often be directly linked to the losses that occur due to ...

Steel knives, used in technical industry, often have a hard time with all kinds of wear processes and damage. Their useful life is highly dependent on the application and the material being cut. There is no ‘ideal’ type of steel for each cutting application, but with knowledge of the situation ...

Polyester composites have become a staple in various industries, from aerospace to automotive, due to their remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. However, the production process of polyester composites is not without its environmental challenges. One significant ...

An innovative, plasmonic paint system uses nanoparticles to create structural colours without the need for multiple pigments. This system, which needs less product and is more colour stable, is also more environmentally friendly, lighter and cheaper than traditional paint systems.

To meet the market’s demand for less expensive but equally performing materials for high-temperature applications, Omco developed an equivalent alternative.

At the request of the foundries and their customers, Sirris will start another foundry technology course in the autumn of 2023. The series of lessons consists of a combination of traditional location-based sessions - at Sirris in Zwijnaarde - and online sessions. This course offers you practical, in ...

OBVIO-Labs has developed an ergonomic reel offering a solution to the practical problems many divers struggle with, which makes it easier and safer for them to dive at greater depths. Once successfully developed, the company has taken steps to start industrialising the reel.

Over the years, various calculation models have been developed that allow machining processes to be analysed and even optimised. These calculation models can be run by anyone on the online platform modelgebaseerdbewerken.be by means of simple forms. In a series of blog posts, we explain how you can ...

Coated paper-based packaging has an important role to play in the transition to a circular economy. The extent to which these materials can be recycled is a key factor in further increasing their sustainability and circularity to meet European targets. As part of the RePac2-project, Sirris has been ...

The SIM Materials Forum on material innovations is set up to exchange knowledge and skills, provide updates on SIM projects and enable visitors to meet the materials community in Flanders and beyond. SIM Materials Forum is about getting to know the industry and gaining insights on material ...
