1. Engineering of lignin in wood towards functional materials
Sammanfattning : Through 270 million years of evolution, the finely tuned hierarchical structure of wood has been optimized for efficient nutrient transport and exceptional mechanical stability. Its distinctive orthotropic constitution can provide inspiration and design opportunities for the development of novel functional materials. LÄS MER
2. Multimodal Imaging of Anisotropic Hierarchical Materials
Sammanfattning : The thesis is focused on studying the nanostructure of natural and synthetic hierarchical materials with biological applications, using X-ray scattering imaging and birefringence microscopy. The term "hierarchical materials" is used for structures composed of sub-units organised in different length scales that create the building blocks for the next level. LÄS MER
3. Laser sintered materials with Non-equilibrium structures
Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on achieving materials with non-equilibrium structures fabricated by high-energy laser sintering. The chosen precursor materials have rigid and inert structures like high-melting point ceramics or metals. LÄS MER
4. Structured Nanoporous Materials for Biogas Upgrading
Sammanfattning : Porous materials have shown potential for solving one of the significant challenges to sequestering CO2 gas from point sources. Microporous materials, zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials with tailorable adsorptive properties to develop higher performance for an energy-efficient CO2 separation.

5. Hierarchical Structuring of Mg2Si1-xSnx Alloys for Lower Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Conductivity as Probe for Structural Characterization
Sammanfattning : The thermoelectric effect was discovered nearly 200 years ago, but it started to be utilized for waste heat recovery fairly recently. From the economical point of view, such application requires a cheap and efficient material, which is able to convert heat energy into electricity. LÄS MER
