  1. 21. Fundamental investigation to improve the quality of cold mix asphalt

    Författare :Abdullah Khan; Nicole Kringos; Per Redelius; Amit Bhasin; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bitumen; Cold Asphalt Mixtures; Minerals Aggregates; Surface Free Energy; Sorption; Contact Angle; Bitumen Emulsions; Breaking and Coalescence.; Bitumen; kallblandad asfaltmassa; mineraler aggregat; fri ytenergi; sorption; kontaktvinkel; bitumenemulsion; brytning och blandning.; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Sammanfattning : Cold mix asphalt (CMA) emulsion technology could become an attractive option for the road industry as it offers lower startup and equipment installation costs, energy consumption and environmental impact than traditional alternatives. The adhesion between bitumen and aggregates is influenced by diverse parameters, such as changes in surface free energies of the binder and aggregates or the presence of moisture or dust on the surface of aggregates, mixing temperatures, surface textures (including open porosity), nature of the minerals present and their surface chemical composition, as well as additives in the binder phase.

  2. 22. Photoelectrochemical studies of dye-sensitized solar cells using organic dyes

    Författare :Tannia Marinado; Anders Hagfeldt; Katoh Ryuzi; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; additive; charge recombination; coadsorbent; conduction band shift; dye-sensitized; electron lifetime; electron-transfer; organic dye; photoelectrochemical; photovoltaic; sensitizer; semiconductor; solar cell; solar cell efficiency; titanium dioxide; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) is a promising efficient low-cost molecular photovoltaic device. One of the key components in DSCs is the dye, as it is responsible for the capture of sunlight. State-of-the-art DSC devices, based on ruthenium dyes, show record efficiencies of 10-12 %. LÄS MER

  3. 23. Mathematical modeling of selected ladle operations

    Författare :Lage Jonsson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : The traditional approach to modeling ladle processes involvea critical survey of the thermodynamic aspects of the processincluding mass and heat balantes at the macroscopic level. Onthe other hand, the macrokinetics, specific to the reactor haveoften been studied separately, using computational fluiddynamits. LÄS MER

  4. 24. Materials and Device Engineering for Efficient and Stable Polymer Solar Cells

    Författare :Rickard Hansson; Ellen Moons; Andreas Opitz; Rene Janssen; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polymer solar cell; photovoltaics; morphology; photo-degradation; conjugated polymer; fullerene; synchroton-based techniques; hole transport layers; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Polymer solar cells form a promising technology for converting sunlight into electricity, and have reached record efficiencies over 10% and lifetimes of several years. The performance of polymer solar cells depends strongly on the distribution of electron donor and acceptor materials in the active layer. LÄS MER
