Last scientific advances in Elium infusion thanks to computed tomography.

We are making significant strides with our project ‘REinforce – Resource-efficient Electrical Energy Converters through Locally Reinforced Permanent Magnets’ at Aalen University - Materials Research Institute Aalen. 🚀 This innovative approach, which is being carried at our institute, targets reinforcement of #neodymium magnets precisely where needed, reducing additive use and enhancing efficiency. By focusing on resource efficiency, REinforce saves materials, promotes a circular economy and lowers the CO2 print. Additionally, this project aims to reduce Europe’s reliance on imports, fostering greater independence. Funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst Baden-Württemberg with €461,000, REinforce is working to transition from lab success to industrial scale, paving the way for future commercialisation.

Dear Network, I am pleased to share with you a link to one of our latest published papers (https://lnkd.in/edDsTEVM). In this paper, we present a study that describes and explains the release of active compounds as inclusion complexes from biopolymers for various applications. The study is based on a model that incorporates thermodynamic and transport phenomena. Additionally, it considers the preparation of these compounds through solvent-free techniques using supercritical CO2. This work, which is supported by a wealth of experimental and theoretical evidence, represents a joint effort between the Universidad de Santiago de Chile (Alejandra Torres Mediano, Francisco Rodríguez Mercado, Esteban Quijada Maldonado) and the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Marina Patricia Arrieta). It is our intention to extend this collaboration in the longer term to encompass the development of new materials through sustainable processes, additive manufacturing and the circular economy.

With full girls - or even better mothers - power we are representing our glass research at MSE Conference in Darmstadt. I am especially looking forward to my talks today. The first one is dealing with targeted crystallization of slag admixtures, i.e. engineered artificial mineral formation, with the goal to enrich critical raw materials for a closed loop, circular economy. The second one will demonstrate the potential of waste materials for glass fibre fabrication.

Working with the Smart Polymers Research Group, Colette Breheny recently presented her research on Thermochromic Pigments in Food Packaging Applications during the recent International Conference on Materials Science and Engineering in Rome.
