Papper och kartong består i huvudsak av cellulosa som har många egenskaper som är essentiella för en hållbar ekonomi (t.ex. READ MORE

6. 5. Chemical modification of regenerated-cellulose films with determined patterns and different regeneration mediums to achieve superhydrophobic properties

   University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemiteknik

   Author : Pornpan Kongthong; [2021]
   Keywords : Surface roughness; regeneration of cellulose; Regenerated-cellulose; superhydrophobic surfaces; Alkyl Ketene Dimer AKD ; Scanning Electron Microscope SEM and X-Ray diffraction XRD ;

   Abstract : In our modern society there is a need to find a material that is biodegradable to reduce the use of plastic for a greener society. By means of superhydrophobic surfaces there is a possibility to replace plastic with cellulose and use Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD) as a sizing agent to make the surface hydrophobic. READ MORE
