1. Glyoxylic-Modified Lignin for Synthesis of Smart Elastomer and Composite Materials
University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysikAbstract : Sustainable development has become a global goal and the utilization of bioresources is a key way to achieve this crucial goal. Glyoxylic acid-functionalized lignin (GA-lignin) is one of the novel lignin derivatives extracted from beech wood (hardwood) and has great potential to be an industrially important bioresource.

2. Synthesis and Investigation of Nitrile-Containing Polymers Inspired by Lignin
University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntesAbstract : The lignin-inspired derivatives coniferyl aldehyde and sinapyl aldehyde were used to prepare nitrile-containing methacrylate monomers with the aim to synthesize bio-based polymers exhibiting high glass transition temperatures (Tgs). The aldehydes were initially transformed to the corresponding nitriles and then underwent methacrylation before being polymerised by free-radical polymerisation. READ MORE

3. Beach-cast fertilizers for cultivation of carrots and radishes on Swedish Gotland : The effect on crop size and nutrient composition
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : In the eutrophicated Baltic, algal blooms with toxin-producing algae and plant overgrowth is a large threat to the marine environment, humans and animals. The use of external nutrient inputs into agriculture, such as mineral fertilizers (NPK), is reaching the Baltic through runoff which causes a constant, linear nutrient flow from land to the sea, which is one of the main contributors to accelerated eutrophication.
