  1. 1. Incorporation of Plasticizers through Refining into Wood Pulp : A Potential Route For Bio-based Thermoplastic Materials

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Victor Eric Pierre Chartrain; [2023]
    Keywords : Cellulose; Paper; Plasticizer; Mechanical Refining; Cellulosa; Papper; Mjukgörare; mekanisk bearbetning;

    Abstract : Fibers are interesting materials alternative to replace conventional fossil-based plastics, as they are bio-based and do not lead to CO2 emissions. Due to their limited ductility, it is difficult to use them to make complex three-dimensional shapes. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modified cellulose synthesized by different deep eutectic solvents as an additive in paper making process

    University essay from Karlstads universitet

    Author : Shiniar Said Saleh; [2023]
    Keywords : green chemistry; dry strength additives; deep eutectic solvents; sodium periodate oxidation; charge density; dewatering; mechanical strength.;

    Abstract : The environmental concerns that come with the currently used traditional papermaking process where petroleum-based additives are used, has tempted researchers to study “green” additives by introducing environmentally friendly modifications of cellulose as an additive in the papermaking process. This thesis will spin further on that by producing additives with different charge densities and focus on to incorporate an etherification reaction into potentially greens systems based on non-toxic and readily biodegradable deep eutectic solvent (DES).

  4. 3. Tomography-based Micromechanical Analysis of Novel Composite Material

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Mattias Grankvist; [2023]
    Keywords : paper mechanics; micro mechanics; numerical analysis; tomography; foam forming; density profile; pappersmekanik; mikromekanik; numerisk analys; tomografi; skumformning; densitetsprofil;

    Abstract : This study explores the performance of porous Paptic paper materials composed of a mixture of softwood and lyocell fibers. The investigation involves laboratory experiments and numerical simulations to analyse the impact of various parameters on the paper's characteristics. READ MORE

  5. 4. Wet spinning of carbon fiber precursors from cellulose-lignin blends in a cold NaOH(aq) solvent system

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggd miljö och energiteknik (BET)

    Author : Landmér Alice; [2022]
    Keywords : Carbon fiber; cellulose; cold NaOH aq ; lignin; precursor; sodium hydroxide; solution spinning; wet spinning;

    Abstract : Carbon fiber (CF) is predominantly produced from fossil-based sources and is therefore an area of interest for further development towards a more sustainable society. The purpose of this thesis work was to investigate the possibility of producing precursor fibers (PFs) for CF production from a blend of renewable cellulose andlignin. READ MORE

  6. 5. Production of biocomposite materials from filamentous fungi grown on apple pomace

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

    Author : Angela Sabbagh; Susanna Bahari; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Managing and reducing food waste has increasingly become a global problem in later years, including food waste in the form of fruit pulp from the juice and beverage production industries. Another current urgent issue is the need for a replacement of fossil fuel-based plastics with more sustainable biopolymers. READ MORE
