Comparison between a phenomenological approach and a morphoelasticity approach regarding the displacement of extracellular matrix

Plastic (permanent) deformations were earlier, modeled by a phenomenological model in Peng and Vermolen (Biomech Model Mechanobiol 19(6):2525–2551, 2020). In this manusctipt, we consider a more physics-based formulation that is based on morphoelasticity. We firstly introduce the morphoelasticity approach and investigate the impact of various...

Combining solvents and surfactants for inkjet printing PEDOT: PSS on P3HT/PCBM in organic solar cells

A commonly used strategy in the fabrication of organic electronics involves the use of orthogonal solvents, i.e. the alternating use of organic solvents and water for the application of consecutive layers to prevent dissolution of previous layers. This strategy therefore requires the deposition of sequential layers with a large mismatch in...

Roll-to-Roll Slot Die Coated Perovskite for Efficient Flexible Solar Cells

The feasibility of upscaling the perovskite solar cells technologies to high volume production using roll-to-roll (R2R) slot die coating is demonstrated in this study. Perovskite solar cells are produced by R2R slot die coating on flexible substrates with a width of 30 cm and the web speed of 3–5 m min−1. R2R deposition of the electron transport...

Solvent Systems for Industrial-Scale Processing of Spiro-OMeTAD Hole Transport Layer in Perovskite Solar Sells

Current laboratory-scale fabrication of perovskite solar cells involves the use of toxic solvents in the different fabrication steps. The aim of this research is to find a nontoxic alternative to chlorobenzene used for the deposition of hole transport material (HTM) spiro-OMeTAD. The initial selection of the solvents compatible with...

Toward high volume solution based roll-to-roll processing of OLEDs

The large volume production of flexible electronics by solution based roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing technologies is a promising upscaling strategy for the organic electronics industry. Typical optoelectronic devices like organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) consist of a complex stack of functional layers. Solution deposition of these...

Driving characteristics and adaptive cruise control: A naturalistic driving study

With the increasing number of vehicles equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), it becomes important to assess its impact on traffic flow efficiency, in particular with respect to capacity and queue discharge rate. Simulation studies and surveys suggest that ACC has both positive and negative effects on traffic flow, but empirical...

Pleasure in using adaptive cruise control: A questionnaire study in The Netherlands

Objective: Adaptive cruise control (ACC), a technology that allows for automated car following, is becoming increasingly prevalent. Previous surveys have shown that drivers generally regard ACC as pleasant but that they have to intervene when the ACC reaches its operational limits. The former research has been mostly concerned with specific car...

Advanced Driver Assistence Systems (ADAS) in rijopleiding en rijexamen

In Nederland is het ongevalsrisico voor beginnende automobilisten hoog. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems kunnen mogelijk bijdragen aan het verminderen van ongelukken onder beginnende bestuurders. Deze studie onderzocht de perceptie van leerling-bestuurders van Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) en Blind Spot Detection (BSD) en de introductie...

PV-boats: Design issues in the realization of PV powered boats

PV integration in boats is rarely seen, but offers clean and silent transportation while on the water. In order to research the PV realization into boat design challenges, the University of Twente and the NHL hogeschool, both in the Netherlands, started a joined research into PV integration in boats. By studying 3 cases, PV boat specifications...

Boeren met water, waterberging in combinatie met landbouw

Het project Boeren met Water is een onderzoeksproject in opdracht van de provincie Noord-Holland, de Noord-Hollandse waterbeheerders en Habiforum. Het is een van de vier projecten van het onderzoeksprogramma Meervoudig Ruimtegebruik met Waterberging in Noord-Holland. Boeren met Water verkent de mogelijkheden om waterberging te combineren met...
