  1. 6. Anaerobic cellulose degrading bacteria isolated from biogas plants

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Caroline Sjöberg; [2023]
    Keywords : anaerobic bacteria; biogas; cellulose; cellobiose; VFA; enzyme activity; TRFLP;

    Abstract : Two cellulose degrading bacteria, named BCISO-4 and DC1-18-4, were isolated from samples retrieved from two large scale biogas-plants. In order to investigate and determine information regarding their growth preferences multiple tests were performed. READ MORE

  3. 7. Cultivating oleaginous yeast on spent mushroom substrate and logging residues hydrolysate : an assessment of yeast growth on side product substrates from the food, agriculture, and forestry industry

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Robin Lukic; [2023]
    Keywords : Lignocellulose; side products; oleaginous yeast; yeast oil; microtiter plate system; redox indicator; yeast growth; spent mushroom substrate hydrolysate; logging residues hydrolysate;

    Abstract : There is an interest in finding alternatives to vegetable oils because of negative environmental impact. Many green sectors generate an abundant amount of side products that are inedible and consist in large of lignocellulose rich materials. READ MORE

  4. 8. Inkjet printed piezoelectric energy harvesters based on self-assembly of diphenylalanine peptide

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Yujie Fu; [2023]
    Keywords : Inkjet printing; piezoelectric energy harvester; diphenylalanine peptide; self-assembly; Bläckstråleutskrift; piezoelektrisk energiskördare; difenylalaninpeptid; självmontering;

    Abstract : Diphenylalanine peptide (Phe-Phe or FF) is a very promising bio-material in the future wearable electronics application due to its self-assembly into nanotubes and nanoribbons with high shear piezoelectric coefficient which is comparable to traditional inorganic piezoelectric materials. In order to efficiently harvest piezoelectric response, alignment and unidirectional polarization of FF nanotubes are required. READ MORE

  5. 9. Study on Decolorization of Reactive-dyed Cotton through Fenton-oxidation as a Pre-treatment for Textile Recycling

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Elise Meurs; [2023]
    Keywords : Fenton-oxidation; advanced oxidation processes; decolorization; textile recycling; cotton; reactive dye;

    Abstract : In this master thesis, the feasibility of Fenton-oxidation for the decolorization of reactive dyed cotton is investigated as a potentially environmental-friendly preparatory treatment for mechanical/chemical recycling. Raw, knitted cotton is dyed with a black and a blue dye, whereafter preliminary tests are performed to investigate the influence of increasing Fenton- solution concentrations and different iron-sources on the efficiency of the discoloration, without carrying out complete optimization of the process-parameters.

  6. 10. 3D Printing Hydrogel Artificial Muscles and Microrobotics

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Malin Alterby; Emily Johnson; Anton Jonason; Denize Svensson; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D printing; MXene; CNT; CNF; hydrogel; actuator;

    Abstract : The purpose of this lab was to investigate the printability of cellulose nanofiber/carbon nanotubes, their functions as actuators, and to compare these properties with MXene/nano cellulose gels. Data on MXene/nano cellulose gel was obtained from previous research made by Hamedi labs. READ MORE
