  1. 1. Prospects for standardisation of industrial PET plastics to support the transition towards a circular economy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Agnes Ström; [2024]
    Keywords : Standard; standardisation; industrial PET; polyethylene terephthalate; circular economy; plastic; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Plastkonsumtionen har ökat markant över tid och har utvecklats till ett viktigt material i dagens samhälle, men med utmaningen att råvaran främst kommer från fossila källor. Användningen av plast är i linje med den linjära ekonomin och den så kallade slit-och-släng-kulturen, vilket bidrar till felaktig hantering av plastavfall och en ineffektiv användning av resurser.

  3. 2. Impact of Organic Solvent Treatments on Physical and Sensorial Properties of Knitted Fabrics.

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

    Author : Sara Isabel Zamora Lagos; [2023]
    Keywords : Innovation; Screen-printing; Knitted fabric; Polyester; Cotton; Organic Solvents; Cycle; Properties; Physical; Structure; Sensorial.;

    Abstract : Technologies that facilitate reusing and recycling printed textile products will contribute to achieving a circular textile industry. This project was done in collaboration with Vividye, a company developing a technology to create removable textile prints to be able to extend the lifespan of screen-printed textile products without affecting their quality.

  4. 3. Characterization of PLA Nanoplastics, and Their Effects on Daphnia magna

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Melinda Rydberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Polylactic acid; Polylactide; PLA; Nanoplastic; Daphnia magna; Toxicity; Polymer Technology; Chemistry; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : As plastic pollution in aquatic environments keeps happening it has become more and more important to learn more about nanoparticles. Bio-based and biologically degradable plastics, such as polylactic acid (PLA), are gaining popularity and it is therefore important to determine whether they break down into nanoplastics or not.

  5. 4. Utilization of Rubber and Plastic Waste as  A Partial Replacement of Aggregate for  Improved Sound Insulation

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Arkitektur och vatten

    Author : Nooralhuda Chabuk; [2022]
    Keywords : concrete; rubber; plastic. PET; insulation.;

    Abstract : Globally, billions of tons of rubber and plastic waste are produced annually, and because these wastes degrade so slowly (about 450 years for plastic bottles and 80 years for tire rubbers), they are extremely difficult to dispose of. As a result, utilizing these wastes directly in building materials can significantly reduce the environmental load while also increasing the sustainability of the building material. READ MORE

  6. 5. Mechanical Parameter Characterization of Thin Polymer Films Using Digital Image Correlation

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Anoop Vullaganti; [2021]
    Keywords : Digital Image correlation DIC ; Effect of spray paints; Pattern quality; Thin polymer film; Wrinking effect.;

    Abstract : Mechanical parameter characterization of very thin polymer films using digital im- age correlation is performed in this work. At present days DIC is widely used in the construction, food industries, and aviation. READ MORE
