Functional polyolefinic adhesives
The aim of the project is to develop new polyolefinic adhesives for use as hotmelt adhesive films. Adhesion improvement to various substrates such as aluminum is achieved by the targeted introduction of functional groups. Maleic anhydride (MAH) serves as one possible functional group. Similar products are used, for ...

Talkalyzer
The aim of this project is to develop a demonstrator in the form of an Android app, which can visualize the speeches of two interlocutors in real time. This should enable a superior to recognize, for example, whether he or she talks too much in an employee appraisal interview or whether the interview is balanced.In ...

Challenge Earth Activity Plattform (CHEAP)
The goal of this project was to research and develop a service platform where users can compete others in their outdoor activities. To that end a user records a challenge with his smartphone and publishes it together with a specification ot the challenge (e.g. distance, time, type of activity) and the achievements ...

Additive Manufacturing of Ceramics by Composite Microextrusion
In the framework of a ZHAW internal project a new concept for 3D printing of ceramics based on a modified Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) process was developed. Unlike conventional FDM filament printers, the starting material is a polymer-ceramic composite granulate material instead of a polymer filament as a ...

Reduction of degradation of electrolyte supported SOFC solid oxide fuel cells
In autumn 2013, the industrial partner Hexis has started the pilot market launch of the combined fuel cell heating device Galileo 1000 N. Keeping the stack power degradation as low as possible while achieving stack lifetimes above 40’000 h was one of the major challenges. Therefore, the focus of the SOF-CH ESC ...

FI-Ware KIARA – A novel QoS-enabled middleware
Today, nearly any application depends on distributed and service-based computing of some sort. This is most apparent in the mobile and cloud computing areas but this trend is quickly affecting essentially all areas of computing. Despite this natural and comprehensive demand, most interestingly, there is to date no ...
