  1. 1. Synthesis and characterization of lactic acid-based elastomers

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Afsaneh Makhdoumi; [2023]
    Keywords : Lactic acid; Elastomer; Bio-based elastomer; Renewable resource;

    Abstract : Synthesized polymer from bio-based and renewable resources reported as an attractive substitution for fossil-fuel based polymers. Therefore, this work has focused on using sustainable material for production of elastomers to reduce the environmental impact of fossil-based elastomers and overcome the shortage of non-renewable fuels.

  2. 2. Viscoelasticity of transparent wood-polymer biocomposites : Measuring the time-dependence of a delignified birch and poly(methyl methacrylate) composite’s mechanical properties, using digital image correlation

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Marine Jeanne Debouvry; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The viscoelastic behavior of a delignified birch and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite was investigated, in an effort to learn more about the mechanical properties of transparent wood-polymer biocomposites. Tensile creep tests with constant load were performed for native wood, non-delignified, and delignified wood-polymer composites. READ MORE

  3. 3. Methodology for evaluation of long-term mechanical properties of viscoelastic materials

    University essay from

    Author : NIKHIL JOSEPH EBI; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the fabrication of complex geometries using layer-by-layerdeposition of materials like polymers and metals. However, predicting the long-term viscoelasticcharacteristics of AM polymer parts is challenging due to limited available data. READ MORE

  4. 4. A viscoelastic evaluation of an injectable disulfide cross-linked thiol-collagen hydrogel: for tissue bulking post-myocardial infarction to prevent heart failure

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Makromolekylär kemi

    Author : Karin Dungner; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are currently the leading cause of death globally. Progression of the disease affects the composition and function of the heart and in many cases subsequently results in heart failure over time where a heart transplant is vital. Therefore, there is a need for medical treatments to stop the progression of the disease. READ MORE

  5. 5. FE Simulation of protective insulation of catalysts in exhaust after-treatment systems of trucks and buses : Investigation and characterization of catalytic converter support mat material for accurate modeling in finite element simulations

    University essay from

    Author : Manroop Bhattasali; [2022]
    Keywords : Catalytic converter; packaging mats; support mats; compression; friction; hyperelastic; hyperfoam; viscoelastic; canning; finite element;

    Abstract : The increase of new and ever more stringent emission legislation has brought about with it a surge in the demand for more sustainable automotive solutions. This has particularly been the case for automobiles, including heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and buses, with internal combustion engines, which now require the design and manufacturing of more durable and reliable components.
