1. Wood Plastic Composites made from Modified Wood : Aspects on Moisture Sorption, Micromorphology and Durability
Sammanfattning : Wood plastic composite (WPC) materials have seen a continuous market growth worldwide in the last decade. So-called extruded WPC profiles are today mainly used in outdoor applications, e.g. decking, railing and fencing. LÄS MER
2. Characteristics of wood plastic composites based on modified wood : Moisture properties, biological performance and micromorphology
Sammanfattning : Biobased materials made from renewable resources, such as wood, play an important role in the sustainable development of society. One main challenge of biobased building materials is their inherent moisture sensitivity, a major cause for fungal decay, mold growth and dimensional instability, resulting in decreased service life as well as costly maintenance.

3. Development of atopic disease in early childhood : immunological properties of mononuclear cells in human cord blood and colostrum : influence of ingested and inhaled allergens
Sammanfattning : In a case-control study of 193 asthmatic and 318 control children aged 12-48 months, the entire case-group, the subgroup with (CDP-group) and that without (CDN-group) skin prick test reactivity to cat and or dog, respectively, were compared with the control group. Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) was associated with an increased risk of asthma (OR 1. LÄS MER
4. Highly-filled biocomposites: modelling, processing, and characterization
Sammanfattning : The use of polymer with natural fiber reinforcements is expected to increase significantly. This can be noted in several industrial sectors of strategic importance for Sweden, such as automotive, packaging, construction, and furniture industries. LÄS MER
5. Multifunctionality and Durability of Cellulosic Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites
Sammanfattning : The overall objective of this thesis is to develop and evaluate cellulose-based fiber composites with added multifunctionality for advanced applications. In the strive towards sustainable societies and industries, materials as well as production processes need to be assessed against the sustainability criteria and selected accordingly. LÄS MER
