1. 1. Effects of materials and texturing on wettability of ski base

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : ROSHAN SWAR; [2022]
   Keywords : Cross-country skiing; Stone grinding; UHMWPE;

   Abstract : Cross-country skiing has turned into the most highly competitive winter sport, with skiers having the ability to win by merely milliseconds. Every year researchers, ski - technicians, and athletes come together to prepare the ski base surface that gives the best possible results. READ MORE

3. 2. Sustainable polymer-tribology : Developing novel multiscale thermoplastic composites using recycled high-performance fibers

   Keywords : Tribology; Carbon Fibers; Recycled Carbon Fibers; Circular Economy; Composite; UHMWPE; Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene;

   Abstract : The transition to a Circular Economy scheme that enables a more efficient usage of the resources is one of the most pressing needs in our society. From the industrial perspective this has been translated into new design philosophies and the search for more efficient systems. READ MORE

4. 3. Tribological behaviour of metal sulfides UHMWPE composites in dry lubrication

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Bruno Pizone Vaz; [2021]
   Keywords : Polymer composites; polymer tribology; dry lubrication; UHMWPE; metal sulfides; tribology;

   Abstract : The increasing worldwide demand for more eco-friendly materials with improved tribo- logical properties has expanded the interest in research on polymer as an alternative for conventional metal/metal contacts under dry lubrication. Specifically, UHMWPE, a semi-crystalline polymer, has shown interesting tribological properties for low demanding applications, allied with excellent recyclability, manufacturability and low cost.

5. 4. Tribology of newly developed EAL versus water in hydropower turbine bearings

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Nayan Dhakal; [2019]
   Keywords : water-based lubrication; hydropower; turbine bearings; environmentally adaptive lubricants; modified water; viscosity modifiers; polyvinylpyrrolidone; poly sodium 4-styrenesulfonate ; UHMWPE; wear;

   Abstract : The increasing demand for more readily bio-degradable, renewable and non-toxic environmentally adaptive lubricants with a lower degree of bioaccumulation has escalated the investigation of water-based lubricants as the potential alternatives for conventional mineral-based oils. Water is an excellent environmentally adapted lubricant; however, it is a low viscous fluid and holds downsides of having corrosive nature and extremely low pressure-viscosity coefficient leading to insufficient load-carrying capacity.

6. 5. The Interaction of Oil and Polymer in the Microporous Polyethylene Film when using a Thermally Induced Phase Separation Process

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

   Author : Pontus Erikson; [2019]
   Keywords : Mineraloil; UHMWPE; Separator; Li-ion battery separator; Nynas; TIPS; Microporous film;

   Abstract : The battery separator is a component of the conventional battery that for long has been overlooked. Just because it’s the only inactive component, doesn’t mean it’s any less important for the battery cell. Recent trends point to an immense growth of the electrical vehicle-industry, and by so, also the lithium-ion battery separators market. READ MORE
