Poster titles Dutch Materials 2016 (Pdf file)
Poster titles 'New Horizons in Designer Materials'
- dr. Priscilla Brandão Silva (TU/e): The fascinating dynamics of acoustic metamaterials with nonlinear local resonators (4TU.HTM project 'Metamaterials with tunable dynamical properties')
The work by Priscilla Brandão Silva (TU/e) “shows that acoustic metamaterials with nonlinear local resonant inclusions may possess superb features, such as: tunability, multistability and nonreciprocity, and thus have potential applications in surface acoustic wave sensors, acoustic imaging, energy harvesting, and structural health monitoring.” - dr. Maciek Kopeć (UT): Towards Advanced, 3-Dimensional Materials Bottom-Up, from Polymer Decorated Nano- and Microstructures
- dr. Danqing Liu (TU/e): Morphing surfaces in ordered polymer networks (4TU.HTM project 'Communicating Surfaces')
- dr. Joe Patterson (TU/e): Understanding structure formation in hierarchical hybrid materials through in situ liquid phase microscopies
- dr. René Poelma (TU Delft): Characterization and multi-scale modelling of nanofoam materials for qubit integration at cryogenic temperatures (4TU.HTM project 'Superconducting Carbon Nanotubes composite as Vertical Interconnect for Qubit Integration at Cryogenic Temperature')
“The porous nature of carbon nanotube array microstructures gives us the unique opportunity to tailor material properties and functionality by the infiltration and deposition of superconducting nanoscale conformal coatings.” - dr. Nicholas B. Tito (TU/e): Cell targeting and switch-like surface binding with multivalent particles (4TU.HTM project 'Reversible Crosslinking')
Nick Tito (TU/e) "uses theory and simulation to discover microscopic design rules for new materials, recently focusing on "multivalent" interactions - those mediated by many ligand-receptor bonds - and how they lead to superselective binding on biological or artificial surfaces."
