1. Biobased carbon fibers from solution spun lignocellulosic precursors
Sammanfattning : Carbon fibers (CFs) have excellent mechanical properties and a low density, making themattractive as a reinforcing fiber in composites. The use of CFs is limited to high-end applications,since they are produced from an expensive fossil-based precursor via an energy-intensivemanufacturing process, explaining the need for cheaper CFs from renewables.

2. Interplay of the Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Conjugated Polymers
Sammanfattning : Knowledge about organic semiconductors has drastically developed in the past decades. They have a myriad of applications in areas such as energy harvesting and storage, bioelectronics and wearable electronics. For most of these applications, mechanical flexibility is desirable.

3. Process and properties of continuous fibers based on cellulose nanocrystals and nanofibers
Sammanfattning : In recent years, composites made from natural fibers based on cellulose have received increasing attention since they have a low environmental impact and good mechanical properties. However, these fibers are short and discontinuous and the conventional spinning techniques used for these fibers results in continuous yarns with mechanical properties considerably lower than that of the single fibers.

4. Eco-friendly Holocellulose Materials for Mechanical Performance and Optical Transmittance
Sammanfattning : Cellulosic materials can be sustainable replacements for fossil-based plastics; yet for some applications improvements are needed for mechanical properties, optical transmittance and eco-friendly characteristics. In this thesis, holocellulose materials are investigated for this purpose, and processing-structure-property relationships are discussed. LÄS MER
5. High Performance Bio-based Composites : Mechanical and Environmental Durability
Sammanfattning : The presented work is a part of the ongoing effort on the development of high performance bio-based composites with enhanced durability, under static and dynamic mechanical loading including the exposure to elevated humidity. The impact of relative humidity on the performance of cellulosic fibers (natural and regenerated), bio-based resins and their composites was studied. LÄS MER
