FAM (Frans) Leermakers Projects by FAM Leermakers Nanoparticles: physical-chemical interaction with biomembranes and membrane permeation Nanosized particulate matter is present in natural aquatic environments. In many cases these particles have a natural origin, but more and more... Drying of water borne coating: Spontaneous Inversion in Jammed Systems During drying of a water borne coating, the dispersed resin must form a continuous, water-resistant film. Smart separations with ionic liquids Room temperature ionic liquids are an interesting class of materials as these have a solubility gap with most of the liquids we commonly use, such or... Core shell particles for drug delivery Similarly as surfactant analogues, block copolymers form association colloids in selective solvents. This means that the solvent is poor for the... Physics of spraying and droplet impact In applications of pesticides, farmers typically spray liquids that include the active ingredient onto their fields. During spraying an aerosol is... Self-assembled double polymer networks: flow and fracture Double polymer networks consist of two independently cross-linked, water-filled polymer networks that are topologically interlocked. A mechanical...
