  1. 1. Towards a sustainable substitute for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) in automotive industry

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Amalia Christoula; [2023]
    Keywords : Polylactide PLA ; Biobased; Life Cycle Analysis LCA ; Impact modifiers; Lignocellulose nanofibers LCNF; Polylaktid PLA ; Biobaserad; Livscykelanalys LCA ; Slagtålighet; Nanofibrer av lignocellulosa LCNF ;

    Abstract : Syftet med detta examensarbete var att utveckla ett hållbart ersättningsmaterial till akrylnitrilbutadienstyren plast (ABS), genom att applicera principerna för grön kemi och teknik. ABS är en icke-nedbrytbar plast som till exempel används i slagtåliga produkter för hyttinteriörer. 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.

  4. 3. Hydrothermally carbonized wood as a component in biobased material for 3D-printing

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Matilda Hendeberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Hydrothermal carbonization; 3D printing; biobased materials; biodegradable;

    Abstract : Consumers put higher demands on low environmental impact from the products they use, and the materials they consist of. As a result, more research is being made on finding environmentally friendly production techniques and materials. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a relatively environmentally friendly method that has been used in this study. READ MORE

  5. 4. Biobaserade barriärmaterial : källor, materialegenskaper och användningsområden

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Lovisa Nilsson; [2018]
    Keywords : biobaserad plast; livsmedelsförpackning; barriäregenskaper; funktionella barriärer; polysackarider;

    Abstract : Plast är ett begrepp som innefattar flertalet material och de används inom många områden. Konventionell plast baseras på fossila resurser vilket är en icke-förnyelsebar källa och problematik som lyfts fram med konventionell plast är kolavtrycket och det avfall som plastindustrin bidrar till.

  6. 5. Development of Kraft Lignin and Coating Technique to Prepare Coated Urea Fertilisers with Increased Nutrient Use Efficiency

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Xueyan Xu; [2017]
    Keywords : fertilizer coating; lignin; modified lignin; polylactide; slow release; ytbeläggning för gödningsmedel; lignin; modifierad lignin; polylaktid; kontrollerad frisättning;

    Abstract : Coating urea to prepare controlled release N-fertilizer has been considered as an effective way to increase its nutrient use efficiency, thus reduce its waste and the consequent harmful environmental impacts. Inorganic sulphur and synthetic polymers have been used in the industry as coating materials together with utilization of various types of expensive coating equipment which commonly requires also complicated technical setup and controls.
