  1. 1. Improving properties of poly(lactic acid) biopolymer for use in food packaging

    Författare :Mitul Kumar Patel; Kristiina Oksman; Mohini Sain; Marc Delgado Aguire; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biopolymer; poly lactic acid ; chitin nanocrystals; barrier properties; liquid assisted extrusion; Trä och bionanokompositer; Wood and Bionanocomposites;

    Sammanfattning : The petroleum-based plastics are widely used for food packaging applications because of their low cost, easy processability, and tunable properties to meet the specific needs of food packaging. However, these polymers are non-biodegradable, leading to a substantial amount of plastic waste in both land and marine ecosystems. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Optically pure lactic acid production from lignocellulosic biomass

    Författare :Joana Coutinho Campos; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lactic acid; enantiomers; softwood; waste viscose; fermentation; Pediococcus acidilactici;

    Sammanfattning : Lactic acid is a platform chemical that can be used for many applications. More recently, optically pure lactic acid—L- or D-lactic acid enantiomers—have been used for the polymerisation to poly-lactic acid (PLA). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Lactic acid bacteria fermentations in oat-based suspensions

    Författare :Olof Mårtensson; Bioteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; beta-glucans; probiotics; prebiotics; bacterial survival; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; oats; ropiness; lactic acid bacteria; ropy;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the fermentation characteristics of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in oat-based suspensions, with formulation work of fermented products based on oat and with nutritional studies of these products. Changes in structure in terms of viscosity and ropiness were studied when exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing LAB strains, namely, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Plasticized Poly (lactic acid) Films - Preparation and Properties

    Författare :Nadia Ljungberg; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phase separation; aging; thermal properties; dynamic mechanical properties; processing; film preparation; oligomer synthesis; poly lactic acid ; plasticizers; migration; cold crystallization; Polymer technology; biopolymers; Polymerteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The development of biodegradable polymers from renewable resources is of importance in order to prevent the depletion of fossil fuels and the increasing emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere caused by the commodity plastics of today. However, to be able to replace these non-environmentally friendly materials, production costs of biodegradable polymers have to be decreased and their physical properties need to be enhanced.

  7. 5. Development of biocomposites from lactic acid thermoset resins and cellulose fibre reinforcements

    Författare :Fatimat Oluwatoyin Bakare; Minna Hakkarinen; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lactic acid; thermoset resin; renewable resources; natural fibre; regenerated cellulose fibre; composite; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

    Sammanfattning : Synthesis of polymers from renewable origin has been reported by many authors and it has been found out that it has enormous potential and can serve as alternative to conventional thermoplastics and thermosets in many applications. The use of these renewable resources will provide sustainable platforms to substitute fossil fuel-based materials. LÄS MER
