The free-radical photo-polymerization of thermoset polymers is an essential part in additive manufacturing, in particular for the Stereolithography (SLA) printing technique. A better understanding of the photo-polymerization and its relation to the process is required to improve the ... Read More
Lithium ion batteries and similar energy storage devices have an increasing importance for the modern society as they are present in many portable electronic devices and have perspectives in the fields of electric vehicles and renewable energy accumulation. Herein, we present results ... Read More
Gas generation and transport through porous media is a process common to many field applications such as radioactive waste and underground gas storage. In these operations, the gas phase evolution depends on the thermodynamic conditions at depth, the properties of the fluids (density, ... Read More
Andra (The French National Radioactive Waste Management Agency) envisages the safe disposal of High-Level Waste (HLW) and Intermediate-Level Long-Lived Waste (IL-LLW) in deep geological storage using a multi-barrier system. To ensure the containment of radioactivity, the principle of ... Read More
Paddy is one of the major cereal crops cultivated in the world. For prolonged storage and usage, parboiling is one of the well-known paddy processing techniques with benefits such as improved yield, sterilization against microorganisms, insect disinfestations and retention of nutrients. ...
