    Abstract : The use of lightweight material are at an increasing demand in our society. Particularly, PU foams are used as lightweight insulation and support in sandwich composites for a wide range of products such as walls, packaging and car bumpers. READ MORE

  4. 3. NFC-Spore Biocomposites : A study of flame retardancy, density, mechanical properties and production of films

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Tomas Romson; Victor Goch; [2014]
    Keywords : Lycopodium; Nanofibrillated cellulose; Mechanical properties; Flame retardancy; Film production;

    Abstract : Sporopollenin is considered a resistant material and might be applicable in flame retardant material. The use of renewable material in fields mainly dominated by toxic materials, such as bromides in flame retardant materials, could greatly improve the sustainability in those fields. READ MORE

  5. 4. Chemical Modification of NFC: Development of Renewable Barriers for Packaging Applications

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Jesper Pettersson; [2012]
    Keywords : Packaging; nanofibrillated cellulose NFC ; polymer modification; grafting; biocomposite;

    Abstract : Globalization and centralization have resulted in prolonged transportation time between producer and consumer, and thus put more demand on the perseveration of a product for longer duration and protect it from oxidation. The presence of oxygen in packages severely foreshortens the storage life as it yield losses of nutrients and allow microbial growth, which can cause changes in smell, taste as well as discoloration.

  6. 5. Modification of nanofibrillated cellulose with stimuli-responsive polymers

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Carmen Cobo Sanchez; [2012]
    Keywords : thermoresponsive; nanofibrillated cellulose; biocomposites; block-copolymer; stimuliresponsive;

    Abstract : Research of new sustainable and low cost materials, such as cellulose, is of high interest. Modifications of the cellulose can be performed in order to create a “smart” material which responds to external stimuli, such as variations in pH and temperature, by changing its properties.
