  1. 1. Spin-Glass Behaviour in Ordered Solids

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialteori

    Author : Erik Karpelin; [2023]
    Keywords : spin-glass; self-induced; variation; Edwards-Andersson; glassy;

    Abstract : The spin-glass is a peculiar magnetic phase, exhibiting non-trivial dynamics at low temperatures, characterized by an continuously evolving state without long-range order. The behavior requires some degree of disorder to occur, often in the way of impurities or random exchange energy between the spins. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigation of the impact of different sugar compositions on the moisture absorption of hard candy when exposed to a humid environment

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Gila van den Eijnde; [2023]
    Keywords : Hard candy; Sugar composition; Hygroscopicity; Moisture absorption; Shelf life; Product stability; Food technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Hard candy is hygroscopic, implying that hard candy readily absorbs moisture from the environment, resulting in adverse changes in the texture and appearance of the candy. This thesis investigates the impact of different sugar compositions on the moisture absorption of hard candy when exposed to a humid environment. READ MORE

  4. 3. Synthesis of glass-ceramic Li2S-P2S5-based electrolyte for solid-state batteries

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Oorganisk kemi

    Author : Leo Sjörén; [2023]
    Keywords : Solid electrolyte; Battery; sulphide; glass; electolyte; ball milling; ceramic; glass-ceramic; Batteri; elektrolyt; glas; glaskeram; svavel;

    Abstract : In this project, solid sulphur based Li3PS4 electrolytes doped with Li4SiO4 were synthesised using two methods. In method A, a bought β-Li3PS4 electrolyte from Nei Corp was doped with 5 mole per cent Li4SiO4, resulting in a glass-ceramic electrolyte. READ MORE

  5. 4. Quantum mechanical modelling and electrochemical stability of sodium based glassy electrolyte for all-solid-state batteries

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Carolina Falk; Linnéa Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : Quantum mechanical modelling; solid state batteries; solid electrolyte; glassy electrolyte; density functional theory; electrochemical stability; Kvantmekanisk modellering; solida batterier; fast elektrolyt; elektrokemisk stabilitet;

    Abstract : Increasing energy demand draws attention to new materials for improving current energy storage technologies. Particular interest is directed at solid state batteries and glass Na3ClO electrolyte is a promising candidate. READ MORE

  6. 5. Synthesis and Investigation of Nitrile-Containing Polymers Inspired by Lignin

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Tobias Lindborg; [2022]
    Keywords : Lignin; Polymer; Renewable; Bioresource; Glass transition temperature; Nitrile; Polymer technology; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : 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
