Classical methods of cleaning oil spills do not give satisfactory results in removing the oil from the water, but functionalized nanomaterials show high potential to become a cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution. Among the existing methods of cleaning oil stains from water, the use of various adsorptive materials, such as silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and aluminum oxide are present. These materials are non-biodegradable and represent a high risk of secondary pollution. The invention of researchers at the…

The research field of timber-glass composites has become a dynamic segment of modern building construction where technical solutions are being developed and new applications defined. The existing timber-glass composites reach from timber-glass beams to timber-glass floor/roof panels and also to timber-glass wall panels. In order to join glass and timber with self-tapping screws, an additional structural element is needed to transfer the screw forces to the glass in a way that the stresses in the glass are held at low…

High-temperature heating of buildings and industry is identified as one of the most challenges issues at regional and local level due to the high use of non-renewable energy sources and a very low share of renewable energy sources. In order to improve energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources for high-temperature heating of buildings, innovative technical solutions were developed.

Bacterial cellulose is nanofibrillar material with high purity, flexibility, strength and biocompatibility. As such is attractive material for application in medicine. Yet, it missing the cell-interactive moieties, and as such is relatively non bioactive. This limits its wider applicability in advanced medical products.

Method and apparatus broadband microwave stimulation of a heating cavity The invention makes it easier to determine the optimum operating points. Due to the design of the system, it is possible to perform very large measurements of the frequency spectrum in a short time, which in turn enables the secondary electromagnetic field manipulators to be actively controlled. This advantage increases the likelihood that the system will operate at the best efficiency, which consequently will contribute to a shorter preparation time.…
