The extraction of plastic microparticles, so-called microplastics, from sludge is a challenging
task due to the complex, highly organic material often interspersed with other benign …

Stereolithography is an additive manufacturing process which makes it possible to fabricate
useful complex 3D ceramic parts, with a high dimensional resolution and a good surface …

Background When we paint our houses or offices, we might paint plastic, because most
paints are generally formulated with polymer binders. After drying and curing, the binders fix …

The goal of this annual review is to provide an overview of advances in the field of Raman
spectroscopy as reflected in articles published each year in the Journal of Raman …

The monitoring of microbiological processes using Raman spectroscopy has gained in
importance over the past few years. Commercial Raman spectroscopic equipment consists …

Laboratory-based experiments using fluorescently labeled microplastic particles are
common techniques for studying the fate of microplastic in the environment. However, the …

Plastics accumulating in the environment are nowadays of great concern for aquatic systems
and for the living organisms populating them. In this context, nanoplastics (NPs) are …

A variety of radiation-grafted cation-exchange membranes (RG-CEM) were synthesised,
using a high-dose rate electron-beam peroxidation method, for an initial evaluation of their …

Copolymerization is one way of influencing the properties of polymers and the outcome of
copolymerization between vinyl monomers is dependent on the reactivity ratios between the …

In process analytics, the applicability of Raman spectroscopy is restricted by high excitation
intensities or the long integration times required. In this work, a novel Raman system was …
