This working paper is the introduction and exploration of the theme 'Value of waste' for the Energize festival 2015. What is the value of waste? Based on ideas concerning the lifecycle of materials it depends on where you are in this cycle: have you consumed material, then what remains is usually waste …

Locally produced methane, - either as biomethane or power-to-gas product, has to be stored to provide a reliable gas source for the fluctuating demand of any local gas distribution network. Additionally, methane is a prominent transportation fuel but its suitability for vehicular application depends …

Hoe kunnen we de veiligheid op de werkvloer met behulp van ambient technologie bevorderen? Dat is de centrale vraagstelling van het onderzoeksproject Veiligheid op de werkvloer, een initiatief van het Saxion Kenniscentrum Design en Technologie. In een serie artikelen in het vakblad Safety beschrijven …

Bitumen is a highly valued and much used roofing material, but as an oilbased, non-renewable product, bitumen is now no longer sustainable. In response to this growing need to produce more sustainable construction materials, Icopal bv, Algaecom and the Hanze University of Applied Sciences collaborated …

De hogescholen Saxion in Enschede en Windesheim in Zwolle organiseerden op 15 oktober 2013 een congres over recycling voor ontwerpers en ondernemers. Belangrijkste conclusie: gerecycled materiaal is prima bruikbaar bij nieuwe ontwerpen. Artikel verschenen in het vakblad Product van november 2013

Dit boekje bevat de samenvatting van onderzoek dat is uitgevoerd binnen het project Recycling in Ontwerp (RiO). Op overzichtelijke wijze wordt inzicht gegeven in de verschillende uitkomsten van de onderzoeken binnen het thema recycling in ontwerp. Onderwerp van studie zijn onder andere de eigenschappen …

In this study we assessed which is the most appropriate method of detecting stress to study the effect of Jacobson’s progressive relaxation exercises in patients with stress problems. In the study 7 patients are requested to fill in 3 different scales to quantify their stress before and after the exercises. …

The conductive textile grid is a large-scale (226 x 115 cm) multi-layer demonstrator exhibiting different conductive textile materials with certain outputs (such as LEDs, thermo-chromic ink and shape memory alloy) can be connected onto a base conductive fabric. Various conductive materials such as knitted …

The working hypothesis for this research project is that it is possible to develop a new functional polymer printing process for the direct application of conductive polymer onto textiles. We will use the basic extrusion technology that is currently applied in 3D printing. Thus the aim is also expanding …

The proposed bi-functional protective structure intended to have hydrophilic interior towards the skin surface and hydrophobic exterior for protection, ensuring fast transfer of moisture between body and external environment. The sandwich structure is prepared using 100% wool jersey and varieties of …
