  1. 1. Thermal Conversion of Cellulose-Lignin Precursors into Carbon Fibres

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

    Author : Sofia Westberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon fiber; lignin; cellulose; continuous conversion;

    Abstract : Carbon fibres are used in many applications thanks to their exceptional tensile properties in relation to their relatively low weight. These thin strands of at least 90% carbon are mixed with a matrix such as epoxy to form composites used for cars, wind turbines, prosthetics, and many other things. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analyzing Raw Material Characteristics for Composite and Bio-composite preparation and Assessing Environmental Impacts through LCA

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Lakshay Vashist; [2023]
    Keywords : Plastic; Polymers; Composites; Bio-composites; Synthetic Fibers; Natural Fibers; Mechanical Properties; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; Plast; polymerer; kompositer; biokompositer; syntetiska fibrer; naturliga fibrer; mekaniska egenskaper; livscykelanalys LCA ;

    Abstract : With the population expected to grow dramatically in the future. The existing state of the ecosystem appears to be worse in the future. One of the key culprits that has been wreaking havoc on the ecosystem is the use of plastic that is used to produce composites. READ MORE

  4. 3. Analysis of a shape morphing structural battery: manufacturing, analytical modeling and numerical simulation

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Alfredo Bici; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A reduction in the global use of fossil fuels is necessary when striving for a more sustainable future. One key strategy in the transition from fossil fuels is electrification. This strategy is particularly prominent within the transport sector, where more efficient ways to store electric energy are being pursued. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluating the feasibility of chitosan as an adhesive for wood laminates and as a matrix for transparent wood

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Nihar Sakhadeo; [2023]
    Keywords : Transparent wood; Chitosan; Biobased adhesives; Biopolymers; Laminate; Transparent trä; Kitosan; Biobaserad adhesiv; Biopolymer; Laminat;

    Abstract : En av grundpelarna i alla hållbara system är införandet av en cirkulär ekonomi, som främjar återanvändning och återvinning av material. Plast är en av i utmaning i detta avseende på grund av den stora produktionsvolymen variation i sorter och långsamma nedbrytn. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of a computational method for natural fiber-reinforced plastics

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Anna Lim; [2023]
    Keywords : PPNF; Composite material; fiber orientation; natural fiber; coupled analysis; PPNF; Kompositmaterial; fiberorientering; naturfiber; kopplad analys;

    Abstract : The importance of using natural fiber composites (NFCs) has been addressed as a substitution for synthetic fibers, such as glass and carbon fibers. This substitution contributes significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the environmental responsibilities of engineering industries. READ MORE
