  1. 16. Bioplastic material from microalgae : Extraction of starch and PHA from microalgae to create a bioplastic material

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Nathalie Johnsson; Fredrik Steuer; [2018]
    Keywords : Bioplastic material; Starch; PHA; PH3B; Extraction; Microalgae; Polymers; Bioplastiskt material; Stärkelse; PHA; PH3B; Extraktion; Mikroalger; Polymerer;

    Abstract : Microalgae used in sewers to capture CO2 eventually turns into waste material. Through the use oftheir biomass, the waste algae can be given a new purpose. In this study attempts to extract starch or PHA from three different algae; Calothrix Scytonemicola, Scenedesmus Almeriensis and Neochloris Oleoabundans, were made. READ MORE

    Keywords : Biopolymer contamination; HDPE blends; PHA blends; PP; PET blends;

    Abstract : The recycling industry which is efficiently functioning now has technical expertise, contented consumers, and resource availability and capital contributors. The potential inflow of new material into this existing system should be able to fulfill all the needs of the stakeholders involved in it. READ MORE

  4. 18. Antibody Testing for use in Immunohistochemistry and the Investigation of Precociously Induced Maturation of the Gastrointestinal Tract in Young Nude Rats

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Catherine Gidlund; [2016]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Background: Rat pups are born with an immature intestine adapted for the effective uptake of milk nutrients and with high permeability for bioactive molecules from the maternal milk until weaning. During weaning the immune system is activated after stimulation with e.g. dietary antigens, leading to an inflammatory response in the gut. READ MORE

  5. 19. 3D printing implants for fracture healing studies in rats

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Malcolm Horal; [2015]
    Keywords : 3D printing; implants; PHA; PLA; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project was to investigate the possibility to create 3D printed implants intended for bone healing studies in small animals at the Biomechanics group at Lund University. The aim was to use cheaper but stable non metallic implants and find out what printers and materials are suitable and accessible today. READ MORE

  6. 20. Evaluation of the biopolymer Poly-hydroxi-alkanoates

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

    Author : Helena Lindh; [2005]
    Keywords : bio; polmer; Poly-hydroxi-alkanoates; Technological sciences; Teknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Biopolymers are interesting materials from a sustainable point of view. Especially since consumers increasingly demand environmental friendly packages as well as more convenient packages with easy open and close features on the packages. The demands for convenient packages lead to more and more plastics in the packaging industry. READ MORE
