The first photo of an artificial muscle fiber! Researchers at the Danish Polymer Centre, led by Assistant Professor Magdalena Skowyra and Professor Anne Ladegaard Skov, have developed a novel process to prepare thin, hollow elastomer fibers that can be assembled into dielectric elastomer transducers or, in more popular terms, artificial muscle fibers. The fibers produced are slightly thicker than human hair and can carry 200 times their own weight when a voltage is applied over them. In comparison, individual human muscle fibers are thinner than human hair and can hold around 1000 times their weight. Read more about the fascinating achievement here: https://lnkd.in/dRNu8PyM The Novo Nordisk Foundation Challenge project WeArAble works across many disciplines to make artificial muscle fibers, but its core is chemical engineering principles, which enable the production of meter-long fibers by controlling the reaction kinetics and flow properties of the polymer used. #innovation #chemicalengineering #dtu #technologyforpeople #elastomers

As a part of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering’s main objective is meeting today’s industrial challenges and creating value through education, innovation and research. We employ more than 200 people from around the world, and our mission is to develop and utilize knowledge, methods, technologies and sustainable solutions within: • Chemical and biochemical process engineering and production • Design of chemical and biochemical products and processes • Energy and environment We are home to five research centres and two cross departmental units working within chemical and biochemical research. From these, we strive to educate some of the best (bio)chemical engineers and do vital research in areas such as separation processes, reaction engineering, dynamics and process regulations, process and facility planning, unit operations, heat transmission, fluid mechanics and applied thermodynamics. We work closely with industry to obtain research results that are applicable to industry and society. Within our research centres we carry out a wide range of specialized chemical and biochemical engineering research through field experiments, experiments in lab scale, pilot facilities and in industrial scale. Our main activities are in the areas of product design, process design and production in the chemical, biotechnological, pharmaceutical, food – and energy technological industries.

Associate Professor Flemming Jappe Frandsen has played a pivotal role in the 29th Impact of Fuel Quality taking place in Garmich-Partenkirschen, Germany, this week. Besides being one of the organisers, he gave a keynote reviewing 16 year of presentations of ash-related issues. #dtu #technologyforpeople #chemicalengineering
I made it!! Presented a review of 16 year of presentations of ash related issues at the Impact of Fuel Quality conferences. Proud of the outcome (a 160 pages paper). 👍👌✌️

Underwater solar cells remain free of biofouling thanks to a new coating developed by Professor Søren Kiil and Assistant Professor Narayanan Rajagopalan. The novel coating uses ultra-low concentrations of nano-sized seawater-soluble pigments and a biocide, which forms a porous layer for seawater diffusion. The US Navy funded the research and the exiting results have been published in Progress in Organic Coating. #dtu #coatings #research #chemicalengineering #solarcells
