… solutions. The wet- spinning process is sketched in the figure below. Coagulation bath Spin dope Winding rolls Hypothesis and Objectives: As one consequence, graphene oxide came into the focus of interest as nematic-phase. Dopes with graphene oxide can be spun to fibres with a high degree of orientation of graphene oxide. Furthermore, fibres of graphene oxide can interact with surrounding matter due to van der Waals interactions caused by its hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. Recently, publications about nanocomposite fibres of graphene oxide and biopolymer materials have been made for potential applications as … oxide specifications with varying aspect ratios. Suitable spinning solutions are developed and applications of graphene oxide fibres are evaluated. Impact: Biobased filters with unique effectivity from completely new material structure. Requirements candidate: Highly motivated student with good English communication skills and proactive and resolute attitude. Background in chemistry, polymer processing or physics needed. Keywords: graphene, fibre, mechanical engineering, spinning, filter material, …

… Jockenhövel Proposal (250 words): Introduction: Stents are largely used in surgical procedures to maintain the patency of an artery. Commercial stents are often made of metal which is very stiff (damages vessels) and which has many limitations that can lead to blood clots and restenosis (re-narrowing of the artery). Biodegradable polymeric stents that degrade over time in the body are potential solutions. Often shape memory polymers are used, which are delivered in a compact form via minimally invasive surgeries in humans, and which can be deployed to achieve complex final (expanded) shapes. A poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) stent with a self-expandable property exists, but the sent shows disadvantages like vessel injury during deployment and acidic degradation products giving … kinetics, traceability and many other aspects. Impact: The global biodegradable stents market is forecast to reach 3.5 million units by 2020, driven by the high prevalence of artery diseases among the rapidly aging world population. Requirements candidate: Highly motivated student with good English communication skills and proactive and resolute attitude. Chemistry fields: polymer synthesis, chemical and physical characterization of monomers/polymers, biomedical materials. Keywords: stent, …

… Solutions for More Efficient Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM) FEI CorrSight™ When scientists use more than one modality to image the same sample, they gather valuable comparative information from different scales and contrasts. Toward this end, light and electron microscopy complement each other perfectly. The former (especially fluorescence microscopy) allows specific labeling and observation of dynamic events in living cells. The latter offers critical high-resolution structural … workflow solutions for light to electron microscopy. Design a Flexible Platform for Correlative Workflows FEI’s CorrSight provides a suite of products that optimize the major steps within the correlative workflow. To meet specific imaging needs, users can configure a fully automated correlative imaging system by choosing from FEI’s innovative portfolio of light microscopy modules. Further, integrated MAPS software manages the entire workflow from light to electron microscopy, thereby ensuring … for the Electronics, Life Sciences, Materials Science and Natural Resources markets. FL0012 10-2012 Product Flyer FEI CorrSight Experience the Benefits of an Immobile Sample Stage At the core of FEI’s CorrSight concept is a truly static sample stage. This allows uncompromised compatibility with different sample environments and peripherals in correlative experiments as well as optimal support for a multitude of applications. A high-end fluorescence microscope is moved precisely to scan the complete …
