  1. 1. Production of textile fibres from filamentous fungi grown on apple pomace : invertase pre-treatment

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

    Author : Sofia Berg; [2023]
    Keywords : apple pomace; invertase; fibres; filamentous fungi; dry gel spinning;

    Abstract : In this work Rhizopus Delemar was grown on an apple pomace medium, a waste product from the juice industry. The apple pomace was pre-treated with the enzyme invertase to hydrolyse the sucrose available in the waste to glucose and fructose, which are digestible by the fungus. READ MORE

    Author : Malin Alterby; Emily Johnson; Anton Jonason; Denize Svensson; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D printing; MXene; CNT; CNF; hydrogel; actuator;

    Abstract : The purpose of this lab was to investigate the printability of cellulose nanofiber/carbon nanotubes, their functions as actuators, and to compare these properties with MXene/nano cellulose gels. Data on MXene/nano cellulose gel was obtained from previous research made by Hamedi labs. READ MORE

  5. 4. Optical properties of water absorbing textiles for camouflage

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Eveline Örtenberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Camouflage; SWIR; Water; Nanocellulose; CNF; Textiles;

    Abstract : Background matching, a form of camouflage, involves species developing patterns and coloration that closely resemble their environment. Humans have utilized camouflage and background matching, particularly in military applications, to reduce detectable characteristics, known as signatures. READ MORE

  6. 5. Decellularized ECM derived collagen bioinks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi

    Author : Matilda Carlson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 3D bioprinting allows for the manufacturing of tissue-like structures that could be used for culturing and studying cells in a microenvironment representative of the cell’s natural environment. In recent years, hydrogel bioinks from different biomaterials have been in development and utilized in tissue engineering applications. READ MORE
