Allegretta, Ignazio (author), Legrand, Stijn (author), Alfeld, M.W.E.M. (author), Gattullo, Concetta Eliana (author), Porfido, Carlo (author), Spagnuolo, Matteo (author), Janssens, Koen (author), Terzano, Roberto (author)Scanning electron microscopy coupled with microanalysis (SEM-EDX) is an important analytical tool for the morphological and chemical characterization of different types of materials. In many applications, SEM-EDX elemental maps are usually used and processed as images, thus flattening and reducing the spectroscopic information contained in...journal article 2022

Georget, Fabien (author), Wilson, William (author), Soja, Wioletta (author), Zheng, Junjie (author), Scrivener, Karen (author)Quantitative predictions for durability issues are necessary to adapt the formulations of cement blends with novel supplementary cementitious materials. These predictions are usually carried out with reactive transport models which are solved at the macroscopic scale. Upscaling laws are necessary to ensure that effective transport properties...conference paper 2021

Huisman, D. J. (author), Bach, A. (author), Ngan-Tillard, D.J.M. (author), Joosten, I. (author), van den Eynde, G. (author)We investigated the characteristics of a group of 13 Middle Iron Age egg-shaped crucibles and crucible fragments from Tilburg (The Netherlands). We used a combination of optical and chemical analyses, including hand-held XRF, microCT scanning and 3-D printing polarizing light microscopy and SEM-EDX. The chemical analyses confirmed that the...journal article 2020

(author)As part of the NWO Science4Arts REVISRembrandt project (2012–2018), novel chemical imaging techniques were developed and applied to the study of Rembrandt’s late experimental painting technique (1651–1669). One of the unique features in his late paintings is his abundant use of smalt: a blue cobalt glass pigment that he often combined with...journal article 2020

Lubelli, B. (author), Nijland, T.G. (author), Van Hees, R.P.J. (author)In the present research a test procedure was set up to reproduce self-healing on lime-based (both pure calcium and magnesium-calcium) mortar specimens in laboratory. After few months testing, during which the specimens were subjected to wet-dry cycles, thin sections of the specimens were prepared and observed by Polarization and Fluorescence...conference paper 2011
