  1. 1. Formulation development, rheological characterization, and cosmetic evaluation of gel-creams

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Carl Pontén; [2024]
    Keywords : Rheology; Texture analysis; Viscometry; Semisolids; Design of Experiments; Critical Process Parameters; Critical Quality Atttibutes; Pharmaceutical Technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Oil in water (o/w) emulsions are thermodynamically unstable systems composed of small oil droplets dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase. This means that given enough time, the two phases will separate. Pharmaceutical emulsions are used as a method of administering the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) for topical applications.

  3. 2. Crystallinity of Sputtered TiO2 Thin Films: a Study of the Heating and Plasma Influence on the Growth

    University essay from

    Author : oussama ezzaher; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : AbstractHigh-Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS) of TiO2 thin films enhances their photocatalyticproperties compared to the films prepared by standard sputtering methods, especially when no substrateheating is employed. With no heating, the coatings present an amorphous structure that benefits from theionization of the sputtered flux granted by HiPIMS, with respect to their photocatalytic performance. READ MORE

  4. 3. Reprocessing and Characterization of Polybenzimidazole for High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Douglas Björkengren; [2023]
    Keywords : polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells; PEMFC; HTPEMFC; polymer technology; polymer characterization; reprocessing; recycling; polybenzimidazole; PBI; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A reprocessing method of poly(2,2’-(m-phenylene)-5,5’-bibenzimidazole) (PBI) membranes recovered from the production line of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) at Blue World Technologies (BWT) has been developed in order to reduce material loss in the production. Redissolution of scrap PBI membranes in poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA) and phosphoric acid (PA) was successful and the subsequent washing procedure produced PBI that could be redissolved in N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) and suitable for solution casting of new membranes.

  5. 4. Synthesis and characterization of lactic acid-based elastomers

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

    Author : Afsaneh Makhdoumi; [2023]
    Keywords : Lactic acid; Elastomer; Bio-based elastomer; Renewable resource;

    Abstract : Synthesized polymer from bio-based and renewable resources reported as an attractive substitution for fossil-fuel based polymers. Therefore, this work has focused on using sustainable material for production of elastomers to reduce the environmental impact of fossil-based elastomers and overcome the shortage of non-renewable fuels.

  6. 5. Sustainable Polymer Production: Investigating Synthesis and Copolymerization of Cyclic Ketene Acetals

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Soufian Bourraman; Stella Staffas; Adam Brandt; Simon Isaksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Monomers; polymers; radical; radical ring opening polymerization; polymerization; BMDO; MMA; MVL; MBL; comonomer; copolymer; rROP; sustainable; biobased; degradable; monomer synthesis; plastic; polyester; bulk; solution; NMR; FTIR; TGA; DSC; SEC; hydrolysis; molecular weight; diol; ester bonds;

    Abstract : The large amount of non-degradable plastic waste has become a significant environmental concern, leading to an increased need for degradable plastics. Here in, to create degradable polymers, polyesters were produced through radical ring opening polymerization using cyclic ketene acetals. READ MORE
