1. Sense, Actuate and Survive : Ceramic Microsystems for High-Temperature Aerospace Applications
Sammanfattning : In aerospace applications, but also in manufacturing, mining, energy industry and natural hazards, high temperature, corrosion, erosion and radiation, challenge the performance and being of hardware.In this work, high-temperature co-fired ceramic (HTCC) alumina and platinum have been used for a range of devices intended for aerospace applications at up to 1000°C. LÄS MER
2. High-Temperature Microfluidics for Space Propulsion
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, microfabrication methods and tools for analysis of heated cold-gas microthrusters are presented, with the aim of improving their reliability and performance. Cold-gas thrusters operate by accelerating pressurized gas through a nozzle. LÄS MER
3. Mutual neutralisation reactions in atmospheric and industrial plasmas
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with experimental studies of electron transfer reactions between oppositely charged ions (mutual neutralisation). These were performed at the unique double electrostatic ion storage ring DESIREE at Stockholm University, which was put into full operation in 2017. LÄS MER
4. Development of Microcomponents for Attitude and Communication Systems on Small Vehicles in Space and Extreme Environments
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, components intended for vehicles in space and other extreme environments have been realized using microsystems technology to facilitate miniaturized, yet high-performing systems beneficial for small spacecraft and other vehicles with limited size and power.Cold gas thrusters commonly used on spacecraft basically accelerate a gaseous propellant stored under high pressure.
