  1. 6. Recycling of Polypropylene and Polyamide Blends Using Thermomechanical Recycling

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Nazariy Voytyuk; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of the thesis was to recycle a common carpet waste containing polyamide 6 (PA6) and polypropylene (PP) polymers with thermomechanical recycling. The produced products were compared to neat polymer materials. The recycled material underwent the thermomechanical process which includes shredding and extruding. READ MORE

  3. 7. Development of polymer based composite filaments for 3D printing

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Elin Åkerlund; [2019]
    Keywords : 3D-printing; fused deposition modeling FDM ; composite filaments; biocompatible materials; biodegradability; medical applications; scaffold materials; poly lactic acid PLA ; polycaprolactone PCL ; hydroxyapatite HA ; mechanical properties; thermal stability; chemical composition; morphological characterization; accelerated degradation study; polymer degradation behavior;

    Abstract : The relatively new and still growing field of 3D-printing has opened up the possibilities to manufacture patient-specific medical devices with high geometrical accuracy in a precise and quick manner. Additionally, biocompatible materials are a demand for all medical applications while biodegradability is of importance when developing scaffolds for tissue growth for instance. READ MORE

  5. 9. Solvents and solvent blends for the polymers TQ1 and N2200.

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörs- och kemivetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Lisa Lundin; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Abstract The solubility of polymers depends on how well the parameters of the polymers and solvents used resemble each other. The more similar the parameters are, the more likely the polymers are to be dissolved. READ MORE

  6. 10. Analysing and concluding the cost/performance matrix for biopolymer blends with different renewable contents

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Linda Ehrenberg; Filip Nilsson; [2018]
    Keywords : biopolymers; polymer blends; PHA; PBS; PLA; PP; compounding; blends; cost; price estimations; renewable content; feedstock; polymer technology; polymerteknologi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Due to increasing awareness and consumer demands it has become important for companies to develop an economical and environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. The transition from fossil material to bio based is important for the future of people and planet, still, how the transformation should be implemented is yet unknown. READ MORE
