  1. 11. Investigating the role of water in the protein dynamic transition

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Maddalena Bin; [2020]
    Keywords : Protein; water; protein dynamic transition; x-ray;

    Abstract : Proteins undergo a dynamic transition at approximately 220 K, also called protein ’glass’ transition, below which temperature proteins lose their conformational flexibility and become biologically inactive. The protein dynamic transition has been observed for several proteins utilizing different techniques, such as inelastic neutron scattering, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. READ MORE

  2. 12. Creating nanopatterned polymer films for use in light-emitting electrochemical cells

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Thomas Moberg; [2018]
    Keywords : Thermal nanoimprint lithography; soft stamp; intermediate polymer stamp; Light-emitting electrochemical cell; LEC; Super Yellow; polystyrene; poly ethylene oxide ; nanopattern;

    Abstract : Thermal nanoimprint lithography (T-NIL) is a cheap and fast technique to produce nanopatterns in polymeric materials. It creates these patterns by pressing a stamp down into a polymer film that has been heated above its glass transition temperature. READ MORE

  3. 13. Thermoplastic composites in aerosructure industries : An evaluation report

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Linnéa Björkman; Alexandra Lidholm; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There has been a high development of advanced composites with matrix systems of thermoset polymers in the aerostructure industry, but these thermosets can cause problems. Therefore, the aim of this project is to evaluate matrix systems made of thermoplastics, which has been done by theoretical studies. READ MORE

    University essay from Karlstads universitet

    Author : Shaymaa Al-Taee; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of producing a composite material of lignoBoost- lignin and recycled polyurethane. Also, the study evaluated the thermal and mechanical properties of the composite materials. READ MORE

  5. 15. A study of poly(vinyl alcohol) as a solid polymer electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturkemi

    Author : Gustav Ek; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The use of solid polymer electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries has the advantage in terms of safety and processability, however they often lack in terms of performance. This is of major concern in applications where high current densities or rapidly changing currents are important. READ MORE
