  1. 6. Creating A Chicken Analogue with Mycoprotein

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

    Author : Jiayi Zheng; [2022]
    Keywords : meat analogue; mycoprotein; product development; sodium alginate; food technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : To meet the growing demand of meat alternatives, this project was dedicated to creating a chicken analogue prototype with mycoprotein. Within the project, two approaches of alginate gelation, external (diffusion) crosslinking and internal crosslinking, were studied in this particular food matrix. READ MORE

  3. 7. The influence of post-buckling damage on the tensile properties of single wood pulp fibers

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Raphael Andreolli; [2021]
    Keywords : Solid Mechanics; single fiber testing; wood pulp fibers; post-buckling damage; experiments; development of testing methods; tensile properties; tensile stiffness; tensile strength; Hållfasthetslära; enskild fiber testning; pappersmassa fiber; skada efter knäckning; experiment; utveckling av testutrustning; dragegenskaper; dragstyvhet; draghållfasthet;

    Abstract : The rapid growth of plastic waste from food packaging around the world demands renewable substitutes, such as natural fibers and biocomposites. Wood fibers are natural fibers extracted from trees and are commonly used in packaging. READ MORE

  4. 8. Production Process for Tunnel Modeling : An Analysis of Composites for Water Applications

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Melody Ghaderidosst; Vilma Hurtigh Grabe; Rebecka Norman; Adam Rosvall; Evelina Wiksten; [2021]
    Keywords : Tunnel Modeling; Water Applications; Composites; Natural Fibers; Polymers;

    Abstract : Hydroelectric power is a leading source of renewable energy where large turbines convert the kinetic energy of water into electricity. In order to not exceed the capacity limit of the turbine, excess water in the dams needs to be diverted away through spillways. READ MORE

  5. 9. Biodegradation Experiments of Polymeric Materials: Monitoring and Analysis

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Sini Ojala; [2021]

    Abstract : Plastskräp har blivit ett global problem på grund av nedskräpning och otillräcklig avfallshantering. Användning av biologiskt nedbrytbart material kan underlätta problemet, även om det inte är en universallösning. READ MORE

  6. 10. Sustainable Dishware - design for a circular economy in the furniture industry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell Produktion

    Author : Charlotte Mura; [2021]
    Keywords : Dishware Circular economy Biobased polymers Design Sustainability; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Att skapa en cirkulär ekonomi med hållbara produkter är en nödvändighet för dagens samhälle, särskilt kopplat till de klimatutmaningarna som vi har idag från bland annat överkonsumtion och dålig hantering vid slutet av produkternas livslängd. Projektet fokuserar på att ta fram en produkt som gjorts på återvunna material och att utmana tidigare materialbegränsningar. READ MORE
