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. 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

6. 5. Numerical simulation and experimental validation of a manufactured wing profile

   University essay from Högskolan Väst/Avdelningen för Industriell ekonomi, Elektro- och Maskinteknik

   Author : Niklas Olsson; Christian Selberg; [2019]
   Keywords : Flow; surface roughness; airfoil;

   Abstract : The background for this thesis originates from a study of the flow characteristics for an airfoil of the type NACA0018. The aim for this thesis was to evaluate how the characteristics of the flow over the NACA0018 profile depend on surface roughness. READ MORE
