    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

  3. 2. Urea-Based Treatments of Unretted Hemp Fibres from Residual Streams

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

    Author : Danilo Esteban Ortiz Sarasty; [2023]
    Keywords : Finola waste; stalks; unretted hemp fibres; degumming; cold urea alkali; microwave-urea;

    Abstract : More sustainable and efficient degumming methods are required to extract finner bast fibres, especially from agro-industrial waste streams such as stalks from hemp for food purposes. For this reason, in this study, two urea-based treatments were evaluated as degumming alternatives for unretted hemp fibres from residual streams, one at cold and alkaline conditions (CUA) and the other in combination with microwave radiation (MWU).

  4. 3. Tribology of Polymer Composite with Low Load Application for Automotive Industries

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Martin Asuquo; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In recent times, there has been an increased interest in replacing conventional metals and synthetic fiber composites in various automobile parts with natural fiber polymer composites. These natural fiber composites offer benefits over conventional materials in terms of reduction in weight, lower cost, comparable high specific properties such as specific stiffness and strength, low abrasion property, and availability of these materials.

  5. 4. Spinning a Budding Industry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Jansen Haneline; [2022]
    Keywords : Hemp fiber; hemp hurd; supply chain development; textile industry; pulp and paper industry; building and construction industry; alternative natural materials; transition theory; multi-level perspective; American industry; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : The 2018 Farm Bill federally legalized industrial hemp in the United States following four years of state and tribal pilot programs. Industry actors have since been building a hemp industry from the ground up and have been met with many trials and tribulations that have been due to red tape policies, a lack of infrastructure, and broken supply chains.

  6. 5. Allelopatisk förmåga hos Cannabis sativa L. (Hampa) och dess potential som biologisk bekämpning av ogräs

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Rasmus Lundell; [2022]
    Keywords : Cannabis sativa; allelopati; biologisk kontroll; fytoremediering; ogräs; sekundärmetaboliter;

    Abstract : Sedan människan började kultivera växter har ogräsbekämpning varit en viktig del av odlingen. Under det senaste halvseklet har användningen av kemiska bekämpningsmedel blivit allt vanligare men i takt med att vi sett risker har lagstiftarna tvingats reglera användningen samtidigt som odlare söker alternativ.
