1. 1. Evaluation of Woodmer/plastic composites

   University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

   Author : Leon Ahlström; [2023]
   Keywords : Extrusion; Woodmer; Flame test; Tensile test; Composites; Extrudering; Woodmer; Flamtest; Dragtest; Kompositer;

   Abstract : Plast ger otroliga möjligheter i form av stor variation för materialanvändning. Tyvärr sker det dock på bekostnad av miljön då de ackumuleras i naturen. En kompromiss mellan hållbarhet och fortsatt plastanvändning skulle kunna vara att använda biomassa som fyllnadsmaterial i plastkompositer istället för plast. READ MORE

3. 2. 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.
