A platform for integrated glass solutions with full 3D capabilities based on femtosecond laser micromachining is presented. The design and fabrication of different building blocks, such as optical waveguides, bragg gratings, V-grooves and (freestanding) microstructures are described. The capabilities of the platform are exemplified by designing a t...
Highly stable hydrophobic silica-based membranes were successfully fabricated through chemical post-modification of directly electrospun silica nanofibrous membranes. Five different Si-alkoxy chlorides were tried as reagents at room temperature, allowing for an easy two-step production process. Trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) was determined as to be t...

Heterobimetallic Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) synergically combine the properties of two metal ions, thus offering significant advantages over homometallic MOFs in gas storage, separation, and catalysis, among other applications. However, these remain centered on bulk materials, while applications that require functional coatings on solid suppor...
