1. 1. Identification of Fibers in Micro-CT Images of Paperboard Using Deep Learning

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Hållfasthetslära; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Author : David Rydgård; [2023]
   Keywords : Fiber networks; Paperboard mechanics; Deep learning; Tomography; Image analysis; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This master thesis project explores the possibility of using deep learning to segment individual fibers in three-dimensional tomography images of paperboard fiber networks. We test a method which has previously been used to segment fibers in images of glass fiber reinforced polymers. READ MORE

3. 2. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
   Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

   Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE

4. 3. Characterization of Fiber Orientation and Weld Line Effects in Reinforced Plastics with Reduced CO2eq Emissions

   University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Material och tillverkning

   Author : Anders Tolf; Markus Johannesson; [2022]
   Keywords : Fiber-reinforced plastics; GFRP; Reduced carbon dioxide equivalent materials; Experimental; Uniaxial tensile test; Uniform fiber orientation plate; Tensile strength; Fiber orientation; Weld line; Fracture analysis; Microscopy;

   Abstract : With increasing emphasis and regulations on the environmental footprint in industries, the integration of reduced carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq) plastic materials is desirable. Fiber-reinforced plastic materials mechanical properties differ with varying fiber orientations. READ MORE

5. 4. Mineral wool : From landfill to a sustaianble polymer composite

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

   Author : Noéll Sjöbeck; [2022]
   Keywords : recycling; sustainability; waste management; circular economy; mineral wool; construction and demolition industry; composites; polymers; återvinning; hållbarhet; avfallshantering; cirkulär ekonomi; mineralull; bygg- och rivningsindustri; kompositer; polymerer;

   Abstract : The focus of the project is recycling of the insulation material mineral wool. The aim is to investigate the potential of using post-consumer wool from landfill as fiber reinforcement in a polymer matrix. READ MORE

6. 5. Evaluation of alternative, sustainable polymer materials in regard to mechanical properties and sustainability

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

   Author : Hanna Axelsson; Joaquin Rudervall; [2021]
   Keywords : sustainability; polymers; LCA; mechanical properties; testing; biobased; plastic; recycled; polymer technology; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : We live in a world where products are consumed at an ever increasing rate, and where responsibility for the waste created is seldom taken. Plastics are in many ways wondrous materials, but they put a big strain on the environment, both in production and as waste. READ MORE
