6. Material properties and full-scale rain exposure of lime-hemp concrete walls : measurements and simulations
Sammanfattning : Lime-hemp concrete (LHC) is a building material consisting of a lime-based binder combined with hemp shiv that is suitable for various building applications. This thesis aimed to elucidate the possibilities for using LHC for exterior walls in a cold, wet climate through investigating mechanical, thermal and moisture-related properties of the material.

7. Development of thermoplastic biocomposites based on aligned hybrid yarns for fast composite manufacturing
Sammanfattning : The interest in natural fibres as reinforcement for composite materials has been steadily increasing due to their attractive mechanical properties and the possibility of making more eco-friendly materials. Currently, various alternatives are being introduced for commercial applications, as fibres such as hemp, jute and flax exhibit properties, which make them appropriate for structural composite components.

8. Novel uses of bio-polymers in composites : from chemistry to processing of materials and food
Sammanfattning : Plant bio-polymers obtained as industrial side-streams (wheat gluten and potato proteins) and specifically designed potato starch and hemp fibres were used to produce composite materials. Fractionated pea protein and pea dietary fibres were used to make pasta-like sheets for production of healthy food. LÄS MER
9. Protein supply in organic broiler production using fast-growing hybrids : welfare and performance aspects
Sammanfattning : The broiler's requirements of sulphur amino acids (AA) are high; however, currently available organic protein feedstuffs generally contain only low levels. According to national organic standards, fast-growing broilers in organic production are allowed to be slaughtered at 70 d, provided that their average growth rate does not exceed 50 g/day. LÄS MER
10. Phytoremediation of soil contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
Sammanfattning : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic compounds recognised for their persistence, mobility and potential toxicity. This thesis examines the efficacy of phytoremediation as a potential technique for managing PFAS-contaminated soil and groundwater. LÄS MER
