1. Water-Metal Surfaces : Insights from core-level spectroscopy and density functional theory
Sammanfattning : Computational methods are combined with synchrotron-based techniques to analyze the structure and bonding of water and water plus hydroxyl at metal surfaces under UHV and at near-ambient conditions. Water-metal interaction plays a crucial role in a multitude of cosmic, atmospheric and biological phenomena as well as heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemistry and corrosion. LÄS MER
2. Surface reactivity of metal nanoparticles : - importance of surface active agents and biomolecules from a transformation, mobility and toxicity perspective
Sammanfattning : Metallic nanoparticles possess unique properties due to their size and are widely used in e.g. consumer products. From this follows a need to identify and assess potential risks of human and environmental exposure. LÄS MER
3. Metal fate and sensitivity in the aquatic tropical vegetable Ipomoea aquatica
Sammanfattning : The aquatic plant Ipomoea aquatica is a popular vegetable in Southeast Asia, often cultivated in nutrient rich and polluted waters. The overall aim of this thesis was to estimate potential risks for human health and reduced plant growth due to accumulation and toxicity of total-Hg, methyl-Hg, Cd and Pb. LÄS MER
4. Wear mechanisms in sheet metal forming : Effects of tool microstructure, adhesion and temperature
Sammanfattning : The general trend in the car body manufacturing industry is towards low-series production and reduction of press lubricants and car weight. The limited use of lubricants, in combination with the introduction of high and ultrahigh-strength sheet materials, continuously increases the demands on the forming tools. LÄS MER
5. Failure Prediction of Complex Load Cases in Sheet Metal Forming : Emphasis on Non-Linear Strain Paths, Stretch-Bending and Edge Effects
Sammanfattning : With the increased focus on reducing carbon emissions in today’s society, several industries have to overcome new challenges, where especially the automotive industry is under a lot of scrutiny to deliver improved and more environmentally friendly products. To meet the demands from customers and optimize vehicles aerodynamically, new cars often contain complex body geometries, together with advanced materials that are introduced to reduce the total vehicle weight.
