3. 2. Use of Pulse Thermography for Characterization of Defects in Polymer Composites

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Kim Klöckner; [2023]
   Keywords : NDT; Pulse Thermography; polymer composites; boats manufacturing; end-of-life structures; defect characterization;

   Abstract : In this project, the possibility of using thermography as a non-destructive testing tool in the manufacturing process of boats and to assess the quality of end-of-life composite structures has been explored. To do so, a literature surview regarding the current applications of thermography and the techniques currently used for quality control in the boats industry has been conducted. READ MORE

4. 3. Development and Optimization of Near-infrared spectroscopy

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Amanda Hahlin; [2023]
   Keywords : Near-infrared spectroscopy; NIRS; Textile sorting; Principal component analysis; PCA; Post-consumer end-of-life textiles;

   Abstract : With the growing demand for sustainable options, the existing sorting capacities are limiting the potential for fiber-to-fiber recycling. With the help of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), automated sorting of textiles with high accuracy is possible due to the easy access for polymer identification. READ MORE
