Clean water, thanks to new plasticIn their recently published paper, UT-researchers Ameya Krishna B, Dr Saskia Lindhoud and Prof Dr Wiebe de Vos (S&T faculty / MESA+) showcase a novel way to develop anion exchange membranes, based on a very new type of plastic (saloplastic). The researchers also show that their technique can be used to create membranes that are very stable in extreme conditions like a very high or low pH, making them useful for fuel cells or to desalinate water. They published their work in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science.Read more
'Mayonnaise' shows extreme behaviour in turbulent flowWhen water and oil form an emulsion inside a strong turbulent flow, this emulsion consists of either water-in-oil droplets or oil-in-water droplets. The turning point between these two is spectacular, researchers of the University of Twente now show: it can make a difference of liquid friction of a factor six. The size of the droplets changes equally fast. This effect may have consequences for the transport of oil or nutrients. The paper, informally already known as ‘the mayonnaise paper’ is in Physical Review Letters and highlighted as an ‘Editor’s suggestion’.Read more
