  1. 21. Mechanisms of salt frost scaling on portland cement-bound materials: studies and hypothesis

    Författare :Sture Lindmark; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Deterioration; Durability; Freeze-Thaw; Frost; Salt; Mechanism; Chloride; Diffusion; Adsorption; Building construction; Cement; Concrete; Byggnadsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : A hypothesis regarding the mechanism causing salt frost scaling on Portland cement-bound materials is described. It is assumed that deterioration is due to osmotic micro ice body growth, as has been previously proposed for frost deterioration of moisture-isolated specimens of cement-bound materials. LÄS MER

  2. 22. Bio-inspired cellulose nanocomposites and foams based on starch matrix

    Författare :Anna Svagan; Lars A. Berglund; Salvatore Iannace; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; starch; cellulose nanofibers; foam; nanocomposites; cushioning materials; biodegradable; expanded polystyrene; mechanical properties; diffusion; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Sammanfattning : In 2007 the production of expanded polystyrene (EPS) in the world was over 4 million tonnes and is expected to grow at 6 percent per year. With the increased concern about environmental protection, alternative biodegradable materials from renewable resources are of interest. LÄS MER

  3. 23. Durability of District Heating Pipes

    Författare :Stefan Forsaeus Nilsson; RISE; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reuse of excavated material; district heating pipe; moisture diffusion; pipe joint; stone indentation; polyurethane foam; polyethylene; district heat distribution; long-term strength; buried pipe;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on mechanical loads and moisture related problems with a potential to critically harm the functionality of pre-insulated district heating pipes and pipe joints. Directly buried pipeline bends are investigated with respect to limiting deformations from a thermally induced lateral displacement. LÄS MER

  4. 24. Ageing of Asphalt Mixtures : Micro-scale and mixture morphology investigation

    Författare :Prabir Kumar Das; Björn Birgisson; Nicole Kringos; Andreas Loizos; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ageing; Aggregate packing; Atomic force microscopy; Asphalt mixture; Bitumen; Diffusion; Finite element analysis; Gradation; Micro-structure; Mixture morphology; Oxidative ageing; Surface ageing;

    Sammanfattning : There are many variables that affect the viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures with time, among which age hardening may be considered one of the important ones. Age hardening of asphalt mixtures is an irreversible process, which contributes to a reduction of the durability of pavements and eventually increases the maintenance cost. LÄS MER

  5. 25. Structure-Performance Relations of Oxygen Barriers for Food Packaging

    Författare :Åsa Nyflött; Magnus Lestelius; Ellen Moons; Lars Järnström; Carlsson Kvarnlöf Gunilla; Chris Bonnerup; José Maria Lagaron; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Barrier coating; Permeability; Dynamic Mass Transport; Modelling; Diffusion; Polymer; Dispersion; Kaolin; LCA; Starch; Hemicellulose; Materials Science; Materialvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Food packaging should ensure the safety and quality of food, minimize spoilage and provide an easy way of storing and handling it. Barrier coatings are generally used to meet the demands placed on fibre-based food packages, as these have the ability to regulate the amount of gases that can enter them. LÄS MER
