  1. 16. Non-linear mechanics of nanocellulose foams

    Författare :Prashanth Srinivasa; Artem Kulachenko; Kristofer Gamstedt; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : There has been a growing interest in nano-fibrillar cellulose (NFC), which has been fuelled not merely by the advantages it presents in terms of strength to weight ratio and biodegradability, but also owing to the recent advances in production techniques. NFC foam is essentially a hierarchical structure, wherein nanofibrils account for the smallest scale, with the pores/cell walls forming the meso scale. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Bio-inspired polysaccharide nanocomposites and foams

    Författare :Anna Svagan; Lars Berglund; Mats Stading; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cellulose; starch; microfibrillated cellulose; biomimetic; nanocomposite; nanocomposite foam; mechanical properties; Biomaterials; Biomaterial;

    Sammanfattning : Today, the majority of materials used for single-use packaging are petroleum-based synthetic polymers. With increased concern about the environmental protection, efforts have been made to develop alternative biodegradable materials from renewable resources. Starch offers an attractive alternative since it is of low cost and abundant. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Upgrading Cellulose Networks: Conquering Limitations in Fiber Foams

    Författare :Eliott Jean Quentin Orzan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cross-linking; pore structure; cellular solid; lightweight; porous network; cellulose; flame-retardancy; fibers;

    Sammanfattning : The battle to create structural materials with low environmental impact demands the investiture of two champions: porous structures and cellulose substrates. The dominant solutions when constructing strong lightweight materials are plastic and metallic foams, while currently, cellulose fiber foams suffer from challenges which hamper their development.

  5. 19. Chitosan and chitosan/wheat gluten blends : properties of extrudates, solid films and bio-foams

    Författare :Fei Chen; Mikael Hedenqvist; Eliane Espuche; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents four different studis describing the characteristics and processing opportunities of two widely available biopolymers: chitosan and wheat gluten. The interest in these materials is mainly because they are bio-based and obtained as co- or by-products in the fuel and food sectorIn the first study, high solids content chitosan samples (60 wt.

  7. 20. Chemical Rock Grouting. An Experimental Study on Polyurethane Foams

    Författare :Helen Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Grouting is used to change the physical characteristics of concrete, soil and rock. The changes are usually related to permeability and/or strength. Although the most widely used grout for sealing of rock masses is cement suspension, there are certain conditions where polyurethane grout is used as a complement. LÄS MER
