1. 1. Thermal modelling and evaluation of borehole heat transfer

   Författare :Saqib Javed; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ground source heat pump; fluid temperature; borehole; short-term; thermal response test; groundwater-filled; optimization; load aggregation; simulation; recovery; step-response; long-term; ground heat exchanger; times; design; ground-coupled;

   Sammanfattning : The use of ground source heat pump systems to provide heating and cooling inbuildings has increased greatly in the last decade or so. These systems have a highpotential for energy efficiency, which has environmental and economicadvantages. LÄS MER

3. 2. Protein dynamics: aggregation and mechanical unfolding

   Författare :Simon Mitternacht; Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Monte Carlo simulations; All-atom protein models; Mechanical unfolding; Protein aggregation;

   Sammanfattning : The subject of this thesis is protein dynamics. Papers I--IV and VI study either of two different processes: mechanical unfolding and aggregation. Paper V presents a computationally efficient all-atom model for proteins, variants of which are used to perform Monte Carlo simulations in the other papers. LÄS MER

4. 3. Wheat Gluten -Based Materials and Composites: Extrusion, Casting and Antimicrobial Properties

   Författare :Hasan Türe; Mikael Hedenqvist; José-Maria Lagaron; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :wheat gluten; extrusion; urea; montmorillonite; sol-gel process; hybrid materials; casting; compression moulding; potassium sorbate; antifungal; plasticiser; thermal; mechanical and barrier properties.;

   Sammanfattning : The use of bio-based polymers as packaging materials has gained much attention due to increasing environmental concerns regarding non-biodegradable petroleum-derived plastics. Wheat gluten (WG) is a valuable renewable resource for the production of bio-based materials because of its low price, biodegradability, good film-forming properties and good gas barrier properties under dry conditions.

5. 4. Proton-Conducting Polymers and Membranes for Fuel Cells-Preparation and Properties

   Författare :Lina Karlsson; Kemiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polymer technology; solution properties; aggregation; state of the water; sulfonation; polyelectrolyte; polymer electrolyte; ionomer; acrylamide copolymer; polyphenylsulfone; polysulfone; water absorption; ion exchange membrane; proton conductivity; Polymerteknik; biopolymers;

   Sammanfattning : The development of new materials for use in fuel cells is of importance for the probable replacement of the combustion engine by this technology in public vehicles in the future. The proton-conducting polymer electrolyte membrane is one of the main components in the fuel cell. LÄS MER

7. 5. Structural changes during cellulose composite processing

   Författare :Helena Halonen; Monica Ek; Tommy Iversen; Derek D. Gray; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; CP MAS 13C NMR; cellulose; fibril aggregation; biocomposite; compression moulding; supramolecular structure;

   Sammanfattning : Two approaches for creating a new all-cellulose composite material have been studied: the biosynthesis of compartmentalised bacterial cellulose fibril aggregates and the compression moulding of commercial chemical wood pulps processed with only water. The objective was to study the structural changes during processing and the complexity of relating the mechanical properties of the final biocomposites to the nanoscale structure was highlighted.
