1. Bio-inspired polysaccharide nanocomposites and foams
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
2. Bio-inspired cellulose nanocomposites and foams based on starch matrix
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. Manufacturing and characterization of nanomaterials for low-temperature sintering and electronics thermal management applications
Sammanfattning : Nanotechnology is expected to have a significant impact on the long-term development within and across many disciplines. While offering potential improvements in energy efficiency and reduced energy and materials consumption, nanomaterials are at the centre of the cutting-edge technologies and sustainable manufacturing processes era with near half of the products in the next period of 10 years expected to embed nanoscale solutions.

4. Phosphorylated Cellulose Nanofibrils : A Nano-Tool for Preparing Cellulose-Based Flame-Retardant Materials
Sammanfattning : The growing awareness of the need for a circular society and a circular chemistry has spurred the interest in using wood-based cellulose as a raw material for the preparation of new macroscopic devices and construction materials. The interest has been particularly focused on cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), which has led to the development of new material concepts through a nanoscale bottom-up engineering using renewable CNF.
