  1. 21. Novel materials from lignocellulosic sources- can they replace thermoplastics?

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Emmy Albinsson; Helina Tafesse Belachew; Jasmin Swaich; Hannah Juhlin; [2021]
    Keywords : Emulisonspolymerisation; Biobaserade plaster; Hållbarhet; Polymerer; Bearbetad halm; Kompositer; PISA-raft;

    Abstract : Plastic waste is a severe environmental problem in today's society which has been noticed and discussed during the last couple of years. A constant increase of production over the last decades hasled to a large amount of plastic waste ending up in oceans as microplastics. READ MORE

  3. 22. Study of fibrillation processes of amyloid-like β-lactoglobulin protein

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Jose Nixon; [2021]
    Keywords : bLG; Thioflavin-T Fluroscence; Fibrillation; bLG; Thioflavin-T fluroscens; fibrillering;

    Abstract : Bovint β-laktoglobulinprotein (bLG) är ett litet globulärt protein med 162 aminosyrarester, som vanligtvis finns i mjölkvassle. Under sura förhällanden dissocierar dessa dimera proteiner och bildar amyloidliknande fibriller. READ MORE

  4. 23. Biomimetically improved materials comprising microfibrillated cellulose

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Cornelia Byström; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is a renewable, cellulosic material mainly producedfrom wood fibers, which are found in the secondary cell walls of plant cells. With theincreased demand for renewable biopolymer films in packaging, MFC has emerged asa potential alternative to non-renewable polymer films. READ MORE

  5. 24. Banana by-products in Thailand - Exploring its feasibility as bioplastics feedstock for food packaging

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

    Author : Ratchadetch Termpitipong; [2021]
    Keywords : Banana by-products; bio-based packaging; bioplastic; value chain; Thailand; feasibility; DEFT analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study aims to determine the operational feasibility of utilizing banana cultivation by-products as an alternative raw material in bioplastic production, replacing bio-based feedstock that is otherwise used as food in Thailand. By following the exploratory qualitative research approach, a combination of secondary sources of information together with interviews with the identified stakeholders involved in banana cultivation and bioplastic value chains were used in data collection process.

  6. 25. Exploring flexible structures in 3D-printed bio-based materials to closely mimic the properties of foam

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Innovation

    Author : Fredrik Sinclair; [2021]
    Keywords : CAD; Design; Product Development; Foam; Additive Manufacturing; Structure; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Plastic is used for an enormous number of products worldwide, one of these being conventional foam. This foam can be found in everything from an office chair to a sponge. To be able to move away from non-renewable sources in hope of protecting our planet we need to find alternatives materials and manufacturing methods for these products. READ MORE
