  1. 21. Liquid Membrane Techniques for Trace Metal Analysis and Speciation in Environmental and Biological Matrices

    Författare :Kuria Ndung'u; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Analytical chemistry; Pb and Organotin species; MMLLE; SLM; GC MS; PSA; GFAS; FAAS; ICP-MS; Speciation; DEHPA; Aliquat-336; trace metals; Cr III ; Cr VI ; Analytisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, liquid-membrane-based methods for the analysis of trace metal species in samples of environmental and biological origin were developed. By incorporating extracting reagents in the membrane liquid, trace metal ions were selectively separated from humic-rich natural waters and urine samples, prior to their determination using various instrumental techniques.

  2. 22. Swelling of Cellulose Fibrillar Matrices and Gels

    Författare :Pernilla Karlsson; Lars Wågberg; Per Tomas Larsson; Eero Kontturi; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; swelling; hydrogel; cellulose; wood; cellulose fibrils; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Sammanfattning : One of the major challenges of today´s society is to find a sustainable way to create a living based on the resources on earth. It is a challenge that includes a transition from fossil-based materials to renewable/biodegradable raw materials and also the creation of an environmentally friendly circular material flow. LÄS MER

  3. 23. Environmental occurrence and fate of semifluorinated n-alkanes and perfluorinated alkyl acids present in ski waxes

    Författare :Merle M. Plassmann; Urs Berger; Michael McLachlan; Crispin Halsall; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Semifluorinated n-alkanes; Perfluorinated alkyl acids; ski waxes; snow; soil; fate; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Highly fluorinated organic compounds are emerging environmental contaminants of concern, due to their persistence, ubiquitous distribution, bioaccumulation potential and toxicity. Ski waxes are sources of highly fluorinated chemicals to the environment that have not been investigated so far. LÄS MER

  4. 24. Long-term Properties of Sustainable Polymeric Materials : Mechanical Recycling and Use of Renewable Resources

    Författare :Emma Strömberg; Sigbritt Karlsson; Amparo Ribes-Greus; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sustainable materials; mechanical recycling; polyolefin; reprocessing; accelerated ageing; chromatography; biofilm; microenvironment chamber; environmental degradation; biocomposite; nanocomposite; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Sammanfattning : New strategies for management of the accumulating amounts of plastic waste are required, to achieve a sustainable development in terms of material production and use. After service life, the materials should be recovered and recycled efficiently to provide a valuable resource for future applications. LÄS MER

  5. 25. Tuning the long-term properties to control biodegradation by surface modifications of agricultural fibres in biocomposites

    Författare :Thorsak Kittikorn; Monica Ek; Ferruccio Doghieri; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :agricultural fibres; biocomposites; renewable polymers; PP; PLA; PHBV; surface modifications; water uptake; microbial growth; biodegradation;

    Sammanfattning : Sustainable polymeric materials put emphasis on mastering the whole life-cycle of polymeric materials. This includes the choice of raw materials, selection of synthesis and processing, environmental impact during long-term use followed by detailed knowledge about recycling and waste management. LÄS MER
