1. Testing large samples of PCM in water calorimeter and PCM used in room applications by night-air cooling
Sammanfattning : The latent-heat-storage capacity in Phase-Change Materials can be used for storing or releasing energy within a small temperature interval. Upon the phase transition taking place in a narrow temperature span, the material takes up or releases more energy compared to sensible heat storage. LÄS MER
2. Microactuators for Powerful Pumps
Sammanfattning : When paraffin wax melts it exhibits a large, relatively incompressible volume expansion. This can be used in microactuators for strong and large displacements, a rare combination among actuators. Furthermore, paraffin is inexpensive, inert and environmentally friendly, as well as easily processed and actuated. LÄS MER
3. Integrated Communications and Thermal Management Systems for Microsystem-based Spacecraft : A Multifunctional Microsystem Approach
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the potential of multifunctional silicon-based microsystems for advanced integrated nanospacecraft (AIN). Especially, multifunctional microsystems with the coexistant functions of communications and thermal management implemented in multilayer silicon stacks are approached with systems study. LÄS MER
4. Manufacturing and characterization of nanomaterials for low-temperature sintering and electronics thermal management applications
Sammanfattning : Nanotechnology is expected to have a significant impact on the long-term development within and across many disciplines. While offering potential improvements in energy efficiency and reduced energy and materials consumption, nanomaterials are at the centre of the cutting-edge technologies and sustainable manufacturing processes era with near half of the products in the next period of 10 years expected to embed nanoscale solutions.

5. Service life estimations in the design of a PCM based night cooling system
Sammanfattning : The use of Phase Change Material, PCM, to change the thermal inertia of lightweight buildings is investigated in the CRAFT project C-TIDE. It is a joint project with Italian and Swedish partners, representing both industry and research. PCMs are materials where the phase change enthalpy can be used for thermal storage. LÄS MER
