Congratulations Guido Ritsema van Eck with the publication of your review in ACS Applied Polymer Materials!! https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsapm.1c01615

Great article by U-Today about the master project of our student Leon Smook at the University of Twente.

Artificial nose: Smelling using polymer brushes Leon Smook, MSc student at the Faculty of Science and Technology, made an important step in the development of an artificial nose. By computer-simulating the binding of scent molecules to different polymers, he contributed to a polymer-based receptor design that could efficiently capture scent molec...

Congratulations to our master student Leon Smook on the publication of his first article!
Leon, we are super proud of you and your work!! It is very rare that a master student writes and publishes an article during his master project already! Also, thanks to Guido Ritsema van Eck for his great support!

We developed Liquid-releasing artificial skins in a collaboration with the TU/e!

Localized Liquid Secretion from a Photopatterned Liquid-Crystal Polymer Skin Liquid-releasing artificial skins are made from films made of a smectic liquid-crystal polymer network (LCN) photopolymerized in the presence of a photoactive azobenzene chromophore and a liquid-crystal porogen. The nonreactive porogen phase separates during the polymerization process, and the polym...
