1. Thermal Conversion of Cellulose-Lignin Precursors into Carbon Fibres
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella materialAbstract : Carbon fibres are used in many applications thanks to their exceptional tensile properties in relation to their relatively low weight. These thin strands of at least 90% carbon are mixed with a matrix such as epoxy to form composites used for cars, wind turbines, prosthetics, and many other things. READ MORE

2. Evaluation of a computational method for natural fiber-reinforced plastics
University essay from KTH/HållfasthetsläraAbstract : 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. Synthesis and characterization of lactic acid-based elastomers
University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomiAbstract : Synthesized polymer from bio-based and renewable resources reported as an attractive substitution for fossil-fuel based polymers. Therefore, this work has focused on using sustainable material for production of elastomers to reduce the environmental impact of fossil-based elastomers and overcome the shortage of non-renewable fuels.
