1. 1. Analyzing Raw Material Characteristics for Composite and Bio-composite preparation and Assessing Environmental Impacts through LCA

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Lakshay Vashist; [2023]
   Keywords : Plastic; Polymers; Composites; Bio-composites; Synthetic Fibers; Natural Fibers; Mechanical Properties; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; Plast; polymerer; kompositer; biokompositer; syntetiska fibrer; naturliga fibrer; mekaniska egenskaper; livscykelanalys LCA ;

   Abstract : With the population expected to grow dramatically in the future. The existing state of the ecosystem appears to be worse in the future. One of the key culprits that has been wreaking havoc on the ecosystem is the use of plastic that is used to produce composites. READ MORE

3. 2. Varnishing of Fiber-based Closures

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

   Author : Nisha Sunil David; [2023]
   Keywords : Varnishing; fiber-based closures; water-based spray coating; packaging; repulpability ; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This research aims to investigate water-based varnishes and technologies to coat fiber-based closures to attain water barrier properties. To ensure recyclability the repulpability of coated and uncoated lids is tested. The research approach is exploratory. READ MORE

4. 3. Evaluation of a computational method for natural fiber-reinforced plastics

   University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

   Author : Anna Lim; [2023]
   Keywords : PPNF; Composite material; fiber orientation; natural fiber; coupled analysis; PPNF; Kompositmaterial; fiberorientering; naturfiber; kopplad analys;

   Abstract : The importance of using natural fiber composites (NFCs) has been addressed as a substitution for synthetic fibers, such as glass and carbon fibers. This substitution contributes significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the environmental responsibilities of engineering industries. READ MORE

5. 4. Synthesis and characterization of a greener poly(vinyl acetate) adhesive

   University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

   Author : Xiuting Zhang; [2023]
   Keywords : poly vinyl acetate -grafted-chitosan; chitosan; poly vinyl acetate ; ceric ammonium nitrate; green adhesive; poly vinyl acetat -ympad kitosan; poly vinyl acetat ; ceriumammoniumnitrat CAN ; grönt lim;

   Abstract : To produce a greener adhesive is always an issue of concern to the commercial market and global environment. The environmental request for producing greener and bio-based adhesives leads to an increased awareness of replacing fossil-based components in adhesives with bio-based alternatives. READ MORE

6. 5. A Feasibility Analysis of Natural Composite Alternatives in High Performance Sailing Vessels

   University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik
