    Author : Michael Neuman; [2023]
    Keywords : Biopolymer; Chitosan; Coating; Nanocomposite; Photocatalytic; Zinc oxide; Antimicrobial; Antiviral; Coronavirus COVID-19 ; Biopolymer; Kitosan; Beläggning; Nanokomposit; Fotokatalytisk; Zinkoxid; Antimikrobiell; Antiviral; Coronavirus COVID-19 ;

    Abstract : During the global pandemic of coronavirus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, the world was desperately searching for simpler yet more effective solutions to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). Since no one was prepared for the fast spread of such a contagious virus, there was a shortage of proper protective solutions to stop the spread. READ MORE

  3. 2. Impact of nanoparticle plasmons on photoluminescense and upconversion processes in ZnO

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik; Uppsala universitet/Fysikalisk kemi

    Author : Axel Gudmundsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Photoluminescence; Upconversion; Plasmons; ZnO;

    Abstract : The increasing prevalence of glass windows in modern buildings has raised the demand for solar control windows that possess climate-appropriate properties. Glass windows made of abundant and low-cost materials which can both decrease the heating energy consumption as well as enhance the light climate indoors would sufficiently meet the goals of economical yet uplifting buildings.

  4. 3. A model for heterogenic catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Elin Johannesson; [2020]
    Keywords : Carbon dioxide; methanol; heterogeneous catalysis; zinc oxide; computational chemistry; density functional theory;

    Abstract : Since our society became industrialised, the levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere have been steadily rising, to the point where it in early 2020 at is 413 ppm. The high concentration is causing several troubling effects worldwide because of the increase in mean temperature that it creates, which causes longer draughts, more severe floods, and rising seawater levels to name a few.

  5. 4. Development of corrosion resistant coatings using natural biopolymer and pollen

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Alessandro Armani; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Corrosion is a mechanism that highly reduces the lifetime of metals in different environments, especially in water or moisture environment. The worldwide maintenance cost due to corrosion is estimated in billions of dollars per year, and actual solutions in terms of coating usually contains toxic or environmentally harmful species.
