  1. 1. Cellulose Nanofibril-based Hybrid Materials : Eco-friendly design towards separation and packaging applications

    Författare :Luis Valencia; Aji Mathew; Olli Ikkala; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cellulose nanofibrils; hybrid materials; membranes; aerogels; separation; food packaging; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Sammanfattning : Nanocellulose has been lately considered as the “Holy-Grail” in the design of sustainable materials due to its bio-origin and an unprecedented combination of prominent features, including good mechanical properties, anisotropy and versatile surface chemistry. In addition, nanocellulose in the form of cellulose nanofibrils, can adopt variable structures and morphologies depending on the processing technique, such as aerogels, films and monoliths. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Closed-loop strategy for valorization of starch : From starch to functionalized starch biomaterials and bioplastics

    Författare :Duo Wu; Minna Hakkarainen; Elisabetta Ranucci; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Starch; Nano-graphene oxide; Microwave; Valorization; Scaffold; Biomineralization; Bioplastics; Compatibilizer; Plasticizer; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Sammanfattning : The desire to utilize renewable resources and avoid wastes drives us to develop new concepts for material design. Non-edible starch feedstocks and starch bioplastic wastes were previously considered useless. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Enhanced edible films of mixed biopolymers for controlled release

    Författare :Maria Petersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; acetem; phase separation; mechanical properties; hylon; edible rilm; release; starch; zein; water vapour premeability;

    Sammanfattning : In recent years there has been a growing interest and increased intensity of research in the area of edible films and coatings. Edible films and coatings can improve quality and shelf-life of food products by acting as barriers to e.g. moisture and oxygen, hence preventing dehydration and oxidative reactions. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Enhancement and Characterization of Films for Barrier and Release Applications

    Författare :Maria Petersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; release; edible materials; petroleum wax; starch; acetoglyceride; microstructure; water vapour permeability; phase separation; protein;

    Sammanfattning : Films and coatings can improve the quality and shelf-life of food products by acting as barriers to e.g. water vapour and oxygen. Many edible biopolymer films, based on polysaccharides and proteins, form excellent oxygen barriers but most often provide only poor water vapour barriers. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Extensional rheometry through hyperbolic contraction

    Författare :Magda Nyström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dysphagia; Boger fluid; hyperbolic contraction flow; extensional rheology; axisymmetric contraction–expansion; numerical simulation; Viscoelastic fluid; pressure drop;

    Sammanfattning : To understand fluid rheology, properties such as consistency and viscosity are determined in both shear and extensional flow. Many commonly-used materials and formulations exhibit complex rheological properties and in order to determine the behaviour as well as predict and govern their properties, effective and reliable characterisation of these fluids is important.
