Polymer Biodegradability 2.0: A Holistic View on Polymer Biodegradation in Natural and Engineered Environments
(2023)Advances in Polymer Science ~ Advances in Polymer ScienceBiodegradable polymers are an important part of the solution toolbox to achieve circularity in the plastic economy and overcome negative impacts of a linear plastic economy. Biodegradable polymers need to excel not only on a mechanical performance level in the application to fulfill their function during the use phase but also on a biodegradation performance level after use. The biodegradation performance is tailored to the application ...Book Chapter -
Enabling Positive Tipping Points in Public Support for Food System Transformation: The Case of Meat Consumption
(2023)The Political Economy of Food System Transformation: Pathways to Progress in a Polarized WorldPublic opinion is an important factor that shapes the political economy of food system transformation, especially for salient issues such as meat consumption. This chapter provides a scoping review of the academic literature on public opinion regarding sustainable food policy. On this basis, the chapter presents a framework for studying public opinion on food system transformation. The framework accounts for the roles of policy framing, ...Book Chapter -
Quantifying the influence of continuous and discrete design decisions using sensitivities
(2023)De Gruyter STEM ~ Advances in Architectural Geometry 2023Early-stage design decisions significantly impact the performance of architectural geometries and structures, especially in the context of high-performance buildings. However, most design problems involve a combination of continuous and discrete variables as decisions, making it challenging to understand their individual contributions to performance. For instance, tradeoffs between geometry (continuous) and material type (discrete) often ...Book Chapter -
Curved-Crease Flat-Foldable Bending-Active Plate Structures
(2023)Advances in Architectural Geometry 2023Curved-crease folded (CCF) bending-active plates efficiently form complex curvilinear geometries with structural applications. Instead, this research proposes joining stacked plates along common curved creases into flat-foldable configurations. These unfold with an accordion-like one-degree-of-freedom mechanism into corrugated spatial structures. The proposed system, termed curved-crease unfolding (CCU), allows for simple 2D prefabrication, ...Book Chapter -
Multi-Robotic Assembly of Discrete Shell Structures
(2023)De Gruyter STEM ~ Advances in Architectural Geometry 2023Discrete shell structures are renowned for their material efficiency and elegance. However, they might require a fair amount of falsework as temporary supports during construction, which could partially offset the gains in material efficiency. This research is an investigation of the use of multi-robotic assembly for the autonomous construction of discrete shells. We present a design-to-fabrication workflow (Fig. 1) that combines structural ...Book Chapter -
Reading at Scale
(2023)Digital Humanities Research ~ Mixing MethodsThe Deutscher Novellenschatz (published in 24 volumes 1871–1876) is a collection of 86 German-language novellas edited by Paul Heyse and Hermann Kurz. It is an example of a medium-sized corpus amenable, in principle, to both, scholarly reading and automated analysis. Our point of departure was the conviction that research questions at intermediate granularity would require the combination of hermeneutic and statistical methods to achieve ...Book Chapter -

Field‐Effect Transistors Based on 2D Materials
(2023)Beyond‐CMOS: State of the Art and TrendsThis chapter discusses the potential of 2D materials as field-effect transistors from a modeling perspective, starting from the key features of monolayers. It introduces the importance of being able to simulate their electrical characteristics. The first 2D material under the ab initio microscope is MoS 2 ; the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) whose monolayer form was initially shown to provide excellent transistor characteristics ...Book Chapter -
Energy-Dependent Impact of Proton Irradiation on 4H-SiC Schottky Diodes
(2023)Materials Science Forum ~ Functional Materials and Materials ReliabilityIn this work, the impact of 200 MeV proton irradiation at a fluence of 6 × 1012 cm−2 on the forward characteristics and the breakdown behaviour of nickel (Ni) and titanium (Ti) Schottky barrier diodes is explored. An improvement in the ideality factor, reduction in the threshold voltage, and an increase in the breakdown voltage is observed post irradiation. Point defects induced by the irradiation are likely responsible for the observed ...Book Chapter -
