  1. 1. Bio-Inspired Urea Dosing and NOx Conversion : using a Biomimetic Effervescent Injector

    Författare :Peter Larsson; Förbränningsmotorer; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bio-Inspired; Biomimetics; Bombardier Beetle; AdBlue; DEF; AUS-32; SCR; Exhaust After-treatment; Dosing; Nitrogen Oxides;

    Sammanfattning : Transport of people and freight on-road have a big impact on the total energy use in the world. The majority of these transports is propelled with diesel engines and the reason is simply that the diesel engine is better than the gasoline engine due to lower fuel consumption. But the cost of this is the increase in dangerous nitrogen oxides (NOx). LÄS MER

  3. 2. First As Probe, Then As Function - Fluorescence in Bio-inspired Nanotechnology

    Författare :Jonas Hannestad; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; self-assembly; lipid membrane; bio-inspired; FRET; light-harvesting; spectroscopy.; fluorescence; nanotechnology; single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy; DNA;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I demonstrate how fluorescence can be used in the context of bio-inspired nanotechnology, both as an indirect probe and as a function in itself. By combining principles and molecules from three different bio-molecular systems, DNA, bacterial light-harvesting complexes and cell membranes, I have constructed nano- and microscale systems for long-range excitation energy transfer, light-harvesting and reaction control.

  4. 3. Bio-inspired polysaccharide nanocomposites and foams

    Författare :Anna Svagan; Lars Berglund; Mats Stading; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cellulose; starch; microfibrillated cellulose; biomimetic; nanocomposite; nanocomposite foam; mechanical properties; Biomaterials; Biomaterial;

    Sammanfattning : Today, the majority of materials used for single-use packaging are petroleum-based synthetic polymers. With increased concern about the environmental protection, efforts have been made to develop alternative biodegradable materials from renewable resources. Starch offers an attractive alternative since it is of low cost and abundant. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Bio-Inspired Self-Organising Architecture for Cyber-Physical Manufacturing Systems

    Författare :João Dias-Ferreira; Mauro Onori; Luis Ribeiro; Paulo Leitão; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bio-inspired production systems; Self-organisation; Cyber-physical production systems; Industrial Information and Control Systems; Industriella informations- och styrsystem; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

    Sammanfattning : The refinement in consumer's requirements and the fast paced development of socio-technical systems, are promoting, increasingly globalized markets with a high demand for fast time-to-market, sustainable, high quality and highly customized, or even personalized, low priced products. This new reality is forcing companies to change and adapt their business strategies, so that they can quickly and efficiently engage in short-window business opportunities. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Optical Studies of Bio-inspired Materials for Camouflage

    Författare :Christina Åkerlind; Kenneth Järrendahl; Hans Arwin; Hans Kariis; Karin Stein; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : In the ongoing sensor-camouflage duel, new functionalities and sensing abilities are continuously incorporated in detector devices, requiring new capabilities on the camouflage side. The aim of this work is to contribute to improved camouflage including low polarization detectability in wavelength regions with both visible and invisible light. LÄS MER
