  1. 16. Multifunctional Wood Polymer Composites Reinforced with Graphene Nanoplatelets : Investigating if multifunctionality can be achieved in wood polymer composites through the addition of graphene nanoplatelets

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

    Author : Vanessa Meulenberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Wood polymer composites; graphene; multifunctional; wood flour;

    Abstract : Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were used to reinforce wood polymer composites (WPCs) in order to achieve multifunctionality. Multifunctionality could be achieved through the GNPs because of their excellent mechanical and electrical properties. The research consists of two parts: HDPE/GNP/WF composites and LLDPE/GNP composites. READ MORE

  3. 17. Thermoset biopolymer reinforced with carbon-nanotubes

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

    Author : Morteza Esmaeili; [2019]
    Keywords : biopolymers; bio-composites; glycerol lactic acid; carbon nanotube; reinforcement; thermoset; dispersion;

    Abstract : Compared to conventional fibers, carbon nanotubes possess several significant properties, which make them as an excellent alternative reinforcement in multi-functional material industry. In this study, the possibility of dispersion of the multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) in a thermoset bio-based resin (synthesized based on end-functionalized glycerol-lactic acid oligomers, GLA, at university of Borås) was investigated.

  5. 19. Design of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete Bridges : A Comparative Study to Conventional Concrete Bridges

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Viktor Eriksson; [2019]
    Keywords : Bridge design; CO2 emissions; Mechanical properties and behaviour; Straight short steel fibres; UHPC; UHPFRC; Bro dimensionering; CO2 utsläpp; Korta raka stålfibrer; Mekaniska egenskaper och beteende; UHPC; UHPFRC;

    Abstract : The use of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) in the construction industry started in the 1990s and has since then been used for bridges all over the world. The mechanical properties and the dense matrix result in lower material usage and superior durability compared to conventional concrete, but the implementation of UHPFRC in the Swedish industry has been delayed.

  6. 20. Ultra-light weight design through additive manufacturing

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Barrett Sauter; [2019]
    Keywords : additive manufacturing; AM; fused deposition modeling; FDM; polymer; buckling; post-processing treatments;

    Abstract : ABB Corporate Research was looking to redevelop one product to be manufactured via polymer additive manufacturing (AM), as opposed to its previously traditionally manufacturing method. The current product is cylindrical in shape and must withstand a certain amount of hydrostatic pressure. READ MORE
