  1. 6. Towards a sustainable substitute for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) in automotive industry

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Amalia Christoula; [2023]
    Keywords : Polylactide PLA ; Biobased; Life Cycle Analysis LCA ; Impact modifiers; Lignocellulose nanofibers LCNF; Polylaktid PLA ; Biobaserad; Livscykelanalys LCA ; Slagtålighet; Nanofibrer av lignocellulosa LCNF ;

    Abstract : Syftet med detta examensarbete var att utveckla ett hållbart ersättningsmaterial till akrylnitrilbutadienstyren plast (ABS), genom att applicera principerna för grön kemi och teknik. ABS är en icke-nedbrytbar plast som till exempel används i slagtåliga produkter för hyttinteriörer. READ MORE

  3. 7. Towards low carbon buildings: A case study in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Huynh Tuan Tran; Victor-Antoine Delorme; [2023]
    Keywords : Life cycle assessment; Environmental impact of building materials; Carbon neutrality; Biobased material; Biochar; Cross Laminated Timber; Biogenic carbon; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study comprehensively evaluated the global warming potential of an office building in a newly built Scandinavian neighbourhood seeking to reach sustainability. The primary objective of the research was to support the city authorities of Helsingborg by providing valuable insights into actual carbon emissions at the building level and proposing measures to minimize these emissions to achieve climate neutrality by 2030.

  5. 9. Laser Scattering for Fast Characterization of Cellulose Filaments

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Alexandra Konstantinidou; Saga Holmström; Susanna Hellberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Cellulose nanofibrils; Fibers; Sustainable development; Bio-based material; Characterization; Microscale; Microscopy; Small-angle light scattering; Laser diffraction; Cellulosananofibriller; Fiber; H˚allbar utveckling; Biobaserade material; Karakterisering; Mikroskala; Mikroskopi; Ljusspridning; Laserdiffraktion;

    Abstract : Cellulosananofibriller (CNFs) hör till naturens mest fundamentala byggstenar och förser naturliga material, såsom den yttre cellväggen i trä, med en otrolig styrka och styvhet. Genom att imitera träets arkitektur öppnas möjligheter upp för tillverkning av nya, biobaserade och lättviktiga strukturella material med mekaniska egenskaper som överskrider de för glasfiber, metaller och legeringar.
