   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Lakshay Vashist; [2023]
   Keywords : Plastic; Polymers; Composites; Bio-composites; Synthetic Fibers; Natural Fibers; Mechanical Properties; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; Plast; polymerer; kompositer; biokompositer; syntetiska fibrer; naturliga fibrer; mekaniska egenskaper; livscykelanalys LCA ;

   Abstract : With the population expected to grow dramatically in the future. The existing state of the ecosystem appears to be worse in the future. One of the key culprits that has been wreaking havoc on the ecosystem is the use of plastic that is used to produce composites. READ MORE

3. 2. Evaluation of a computational method for natural fiber-reinforced plastics

   University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

   Author : Anna Lim; [2023]
   Keywords : PPNF; Composite material; fiber orientation; natural fiber; coupled analysis; PPNF; Kompositmaterial; fiberorientering; naturfiber; kopplad analys;

   Abstract : The importance of using natural fiber composites (NFCs) has been addressed as a substitution for synthetic fibers, such as glass and carbon fibers. This substitution contributes significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the environmental responsibilities of engineering industries. READ MORE

5. 4. Tribology of Polymer Composite with Low Load Application for Automotive Industries

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Martin Asuquo; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In recent times, there has been an increased interest in replacing conventional metals and synthetic fiber composites in various automobile parts with natural fiber polymer composites. These natural fiber composites offer benefits over conventional materials in terms of reduction in weight, lower cost, comparable high specific properties such as specific stiffness and strength, low abrasion property, and availability of these materials.

6. 5. Laser Scattering for Fast Characterization of Cellulose Filaments

   University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

   Author : Alexandra Konstantinidou; Saga Holmström; Susanna Hellberg; [2022]
   Keywords : Cellulose nanofibrils; Fibers; Sustainable development; Bio-based material; Characterization; Microscale; Microscopy; Small-angle light scattering; Laser diffraction; Cellulosananofibriller; Fiber; H˚allbar utveckling; Biobaserade material; Karakterisering; Mikroskala; Mikroskopi; Ljusspridning; Laserdiffraktion;

   Abstract : Cellulosananofibriller (CNFs) hör till naturens mest fundamentala byggstenar och förser naturliga material, såsom den yttre cellväggen i trä, med en otrolig styrka och styvhet. Genom att imitera träets arkitektur öppnas möjligheter upp för tillverkning av nya, biobaserade och lättviktiga strukturella material med mekaniska egenskaper som överskrider de för glasfiber, metaller och legeringar.
