1. 6. Optotracing for polysaccharide analysis

   University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

   Author : Saga Grånäs Jakobsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Optotracing; Hemicellulose; Cellulose; Lignin; Fines; Optotracing; Hemicellulosa; Cellulosa; Lignin; Fines;

   Abstract : Det finns en växande efterfrågan på nya material från biomassa för produktion av nya och ersättning av befintliga kemikalier, bränslen och material. Genom att förstå den kemiska sammansättningen hos ett material och dess strukturella egenskaper kan vi enklare hitta lämpliga användningsområden. READ MORE

3. 7. Evaluation of using bioplastics for lab consumables

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

   Author : Lovisa Mäepea Nilsson; Emelie Gunnarsson; Sara Mardini; Fartun Nuur Yusuf; Jesper Nyström; [2022]

   Abstract : The use of plastic has increased markedly in recent years which has led to more fossil fuels being used and more plastic in nature. This is a literature study that researches on how bio- based plastics can be used instead of plastics made from fossil fuels. READ MORE

4. 8. Integration of food shelf-life in life cycle assessment of polymers

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

   Author : Divya Sukumaran Nair; [2021]
   Keywords : Food shelf-life; life cycle assessment; biopolymers; food packaging; sustainability; shelf-life induced food waste; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Biopolymers are being considered as a promising alternative to fossil-based polymers and this inclination towards biopolymers is due to their lower environmental impact owing to their origin from renewable resources. The environmental impact assessment, however, often does not consider the impact of barrier properties of polymers and the resulting differences in food waste generated in the supply chain.

5. 9. Cumulative energy assessment of Ligna Energy organic battery : From its extraction to its end-of-life thermal conversion

   University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemiteknik

   Author : Linda Thorén; [2021]
   Keywords : Organic battery cumulative energy assessment;

   Abstract : With an increasing share of intermittent electricity production in the energy system, there is an increased need for energy storage. Because of electrochemical batteries’ ability of modularization, fast response and flexibility, grid connected energy storage will enable load balance and dispatching stored energy to optimize grid operations.
