    Sammanfattning : Due to climate change and plastic pollution, there is an increasing demand for bio-based materials with similar properties to those of common plastics yet biodegradable. In this respect, cellulose is a strong candidate that is already being refined on a large industrial scale, but the properties differ significantly from those of common plastics in terms of shapeability and water-resilience.

  2. 2. Swelling of Cellulose Fibrillar Matrices and Gels

    Författare :Pernilla Karlsson; Lars Wågberg; Per Tomas Larsson; Eero Kontturi; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; swelling; hydrogel; cellulose; wood; cellulose fibrils; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Sammanfattning : One of the major challenges of today´s society is to find a sustainable way to create a living based on the resources on earth. It is a challenge that includes a transition from fossil-based materials to renewable/biodegradable raw materials and also the creation of an environmentally friendly circular material flow. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Biodegradable nanocomposite films based on amylopectin and chitosan

    Författare :David Nordqvist; Mikael Hedenqvist; Lars Berglund; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Sammanfattning : The use of disposable material is rapidly increasing, today the absolute majority of the material used for these application, i.e. food packages, are oil-based plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene. Therefore it is of great importance to find alternative biodegradable materials made from renewable resources for this huge growing market. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Suberin based polyesters

    Författare :Ann Olsson; Monica Ek; Mats Johansson; Margaretha Söderqvist; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Sammanfattning : In the wish to replace oil-based chemicals and materials with such based on biodegradable and renewable resources, this work has been performed. In a biorefinary concept, waste birch bark from paper pulp mills and timber production has been evaluated as a potential source for polyesters. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Strategies to improve the aging, barrier and mechanical properties of chitosan, whey and wheat gluten protein films

    Författare :Idoia Olabarrieta; Mikael Hedenqvist; Jose Maria Lagaron; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; biodegradable polymers; chitosan; whey protein; wheat gluten; poly ε-caprolactone ; montmorillonite; food packaging; permeability; mechanical properties; aging; pH; solubility; migration; solution casting.; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Chitosan, Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) and vital wheat gluten (WG) are three biomaterials that have quite promising properties for packaging purposes. They have good film forming properties and good gas barrier properties in dry conditions. LÄS MER
