  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Material Experience Mycelium-Based Composite : Study of local biodegradable materials in combination with Mycelium

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för Urbana Studier (US)

    Author : Emelie Kjellqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Mycelium; Mycelium Based Composite; MBC; Fungi; Material Drive Design; MDD; Mycologi; Material Experience; Lignocellulose;

    Abstract : Mycelium-based composite (MBC) is being developed and researched in multiple commercial markets as an alternative sustainable material. MBC utilizes the mycelium ability to create a web-like structure in lignocellulosic structures. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Size effect in wood : Characterization of mechanical properties using digital image correlation method

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Amir Saeidi; Olafur Johannsson; [2023]
    Keywords : compression test longitudinal direction; digital image corre- lation DIC ; ncorr; phyton; pinewood; size effect; stiffness matrix; wood- construction; YAWCAM; young’s modulus; digital image correlation DIC ; elasticitetsmodul; furu; kom- pressionstest längs fiberriktning; ncorr; phyton; storlekseffekt; styvhetsma- tris; trä-konstruktion; YAWCAM;

    Abstract : As a natural composite material, wood exhibits complex structural char-acteristics and diverse behavior under compression and tensile forces. Itsanisotropic nature results in mechanical properties that vary depending onthe load direction along its longitudinal, tangential, and radial grains. READ MORE

  6. 5. Protein-based hydrogel electrolytes for stretchable Zn-ion batteries

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Laboratoriet för organisk elektronik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Lovisa Byström; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydrogel; gelatin; kappa-carrangeenan; Zn-ion battery; Kemisk biologi; Kemisk biologi;

    Abstract : Stretchable aqueous-based Zn-ion batteries have shown promise as a sustainable and safe energy storage system for wearable electronics used in healthcare, sports, soft robotics, and prosthetics. A battery consists of the active electrode, electrolyte, current collector, and encapsulation. READ MORE
