1. Chromia-Alumina Thin Films from Alkoxide Precursors : From Precursor Synthesis to Deposition and Characterisation
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Oorganisk kemiAbstract : A hetero-bimetallic alkoxide CrAl3(OiPr)12 was synthesised through metathesis of achromium(III)chloride THF complex (CrCl3 . 3 THF) and 3 KAl(OiPr)4.It was used as a single sourceprecursor to make oxide powders and films with 1:3 chromium/aluminium compositionthrough sol-gel synthesis.

2. All-Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites : Thermal Stability during Tribological Interactions with Superalloys
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/MaterialvetenskapAbstract : The challenges faced in today’s industry require materials capable of working in chemically aggressive environments at elevated temperature, which has fueled the development of oxidation resistant materials. All-Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites (OCMC) are a promising material family due to their inherent chemical stability, moderate mechanical properties, and low weight. READ MORE

3. Noble metal catalysts for the hydrocracking of FT waxes
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)Abstract : Bifunctional catalysts consisting of palladium or platinum and supported on amorphous silica-alumina were prepared and tested in the hydrocracking of n-hexadecane, which is considered to be representative of n-paraffins in hydrocracker feeds. In addition to the evaluation of the physicochemical properties, a comprehensive study on catalyst activity and selectivity has been conducted, in the full range of conversions. READ MORE

4. Noble Metal Catalysts for the Hydrocracking of Fischer-Tropsch waxes
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)Abstract : Fischer-Tropsch synthesis enables the production of high quality diesel fuel from biomass derived synthesis gas. In order to increase the overall diesel yield, it is necessary to perform a subsequent hydrocracking of the long-chain linear paraffins. READ MORE

5. Alternative method for deposition of alumina thin films
University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologiAbstract : Deposition of alumina thin films in the presence of fluorine as a method for reducing thehydrogen incorporation in the films was investigated in this thesis. Hydrogen incorporated in alumina thin films have been shown to cause a lower density and refractive index in amorphous films, assist electrical conduction through thin amorphous films as well as inhibiting the formation of the thermally stable α-phase.
