1. 1. Closed-loop strategy for valorization of starch : From starch to functionalized starch biomaterials and bioplastics

   Författare :Duo Wu; Minna Hakkarainen; Elisabetta Ranucci; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Starch; Nano-graphene oxide; Microwave; Valorization; Scaffold; Biomineralization; Bioplastics; Compatibilizer; Plasticizer; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Sammanfattning : The desire to utilize renewable resources and avoid wastes drives us to develop new concepts for material design. Non-edible starch feedstocks and starch bioplastic wastes were previously considered useless. LÄS MER

3. 2. Interactions between surfactants and starch : from starch granules to amylose solutions

   Författare :Isabel Mira; Per Claesson; James N. Bemiller; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; food science and technology; polymer chemistry; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

   Sammanfattning : Starch is a mixture of two polysaccharides, amylose (AM) and amylopectin, which occurs naturally in the form of microscopic granules that are abundantly found in tubers, roots, cereal grains and fruits. In order to bring out their functional properties as thickeners and texture enhancers, starch granules are often disrupted by heating in excess water. LÄS MER

4. 3. Bio-inspired cellulose nanocomposites and foams based on starch matrix

   Författare :Anna Svagan; Lars A. Berglund; Salvatore Iannace; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; starch; cellulose nanofibers; foam; nanocomposites; cushioning materials; biodegradable; expanded polystyrene; mechanical properties; diffusion; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Sammanfattning : In 2007 the production of expanded polystyrene (EPS) in the world was over 4 million tonnes and is expected to grow at 6 percent per year. With the increased concern about environmental protection, alternative biodegradable materials from renewable resources are of interest. LÄS MER

5. 4. Agro-Waste Derived Additives for Polylactide and Tapioca Starch

   Författare :Edwin Azwar; Minna Hakkarainen; Anna Wistrand; Christian Glandfils; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Agro-industrial waste; wood flour; rice bran; polylactide; starch; biomass; degradation; SRA - E-vetenskap SeRC ; SRA - E-Science SeRC ;

   Sammanfattning : Development of materials from renewable resources is one of the big challenges facing our world. In this thesis agro-industrial waste derivatives were developed and evaluated as additives for two common renewable polymer matrices, polylactide (PLA) and starch. Two waste products, wood flour (WF) and rice bran (RB) were evaluated in different forms. LÄS MER

7. 5. Molecular Interactions in Thin Films of Biopolymers, Colloids and Synthetic Polyelectrolytes

   Författare :Johansson Erik; Lars Wågberg; Andreas Fery; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polyelectrolyte multilayers; Layer-by-Layer assembly; Adhesion; Adsorption; Young s modulus; Mechanical buckling; AFM; JKR; SPAR; QCM-D; SIEBIMM; PAH; PAA; Starch; NFC; Nanocellulose;

   Sammanfattning : The development of the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique has turned out to be an efficient way to physically modify the surface properties of different materials, for example to improve the adhesive interactions between fibers in paper. The main objective of the work described in this thesis was to obtain fundamental data concerning the adhesive properties of wood biopolymers and LbL films, including the mechanical properties of the thin films, in order to shed light on the molecular mechanisms responsible for the adhesion between these materials.
