French, P.J. (author), Krijnen, Gijs JM (author), Vollebregt, S. (author), Mastrangeli, Massimo (author)Silicon sensors date back to before 1960 with early Hall and piezoresistive devices. These used simple processing that was part of the early integrated circuit (IC) industry. As the IC industry developed, silicon sensors could benefit from the technological advances. As silicon sensors advanced, there came the need for new technologies...journal article 2022

van der Helm, M. (author), Wang, Chang Lin (author), Fan, B. (author), Macchione, M. (author), Mendes, E. (author), Eelkema, R. (author)Signal transduction in living systems is the conversion of information into a chemical change, and is the principal process by which cells communicate. In nature, these functions are encoded in non-equilibrium (bio)chemical reaction networks (CRNs) controlled by enzymes. However, man-made catalytically controlled networks are rare. We...journal article 2020

Eelkema, R. (author), Pich, Andrij (author)Hydrogels are fascinating soft materials with unique properties. Many biological systems are based on hydrogel-like structures, underlining their versatility and relevance. The properties of hydrogels strongly depend on the structure of the building blocks they are composed of, as well as the nature of interactions between them in the network...review 2020

(author), Weber, Manuela (author), Müller, Christian (author), Hensen, Emiel J.M. (author), Sijbesma, Rint P. (author), Pidko, E.A. (author)Structural heterogeneity defines the properties of many functional polymers and it is often crucial for their performance and ability to withstand mechanical impact. Such heterogeneity, however, poses a tremendous challenge for characterization of these materials and limits our ability to design them rationally. Herein we present a practical...journal article 2018

Lenchenkov, N. (author)In many oil fields, water is injected into a reservoir to displace oil to the production wells. During the injection process, oil is pushed by water towards production wells which have a lower pressure than the rest of the reservoir. If the reservoir is homogeneous, then a good sweep efficiency of the water flood process is expected. However,...doctoral thesis 2017

(author)Polymeric capsules can have an advantage over glass capsules used up to now as proof-of-concept carriers in self-healing concrete. They allow easier processing and afford the possibility to fine tune their mechanical properties. Out of the multiple requirements for capsules used in this context, the capability of rupturing when crossed by a...journal article 2017
