  1. 1. 2D-material nanocomposites with nonlinear optical properties for laser protection

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Nils Ross; [2021]
    Keywords : optical power limiting; OPL; laser protection; nanocomposites; 2D-materials; graphene oxide; MXene; Ti3C2; melting gel; graphene; two-dimensional materials; nonlinear optical properties; NLO; spectroscopy;

    Abstract : Lasers are increasingly used for a wide range of different applications for both civil and military purposes. Due to the distinct properties of laser light, use of lasers often comes with a risk of damage to the human eye and other optical sensors. Therefore, an effective laser protection is needed.

  3. 2. Mechanical and Thermal Characterisation of Novel UHMWPE Composites for Total Joint Arthroplasty

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Julian Somberg; [2019]
    Keywords : UHMWPE; Nanocomposites; DSC; Fracture Toughness; Wear;

    Abstract : Total joint arthroplasty surgeries are known to have a high success rate but the longevity of the implants still acts as a limiting factor. Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene is the material of choice for the implant bearing surfaces due to its excellent clinical and tribological performance. READ MORE

  4. 3. Thermomechanical characterisation of newly developed UHMWPE composites

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Petra Jan; [2019]
    Keywords : UHMWPE; nanocomposites; thermomechanical characterisation;

    Abstract : Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a polymer commonly used in various applications, particularly in hip joint replacements. Despite its good performance, it is susceptible to oxidation degradation, which can be mitigated with the addition of vitamin E, and to excessive wear against metal countersurfaces, which can potentially be improved with the addition of nanoparticles.

  5. 4. Nanomechanical properties of nanocomposite polymer layer

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Tomasz Tokarski; [2019]
    Keywords : Nanocomposite; nanowear; nano mechanical properties; gel trapping; atomic force microscopy;

    Abstract : Interphase phenomenon gains more and more interest throughout the research community. An interphase is formed between a filler particle and a polymeric matrix, and it may constitute almost the entire volume of a nanocomposite. If the interphase have favorable mechanical properties it will thus result in a nanocomposite with such properties. READ MORE

  6. 5. Patterned Nanocomposite of Carbon Nanotube/Polymer

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Saeed Motaragheb Jafarpour; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are carbon based nanostructures with extraordinary electronical and mechanical properties. They are used in a wide range of applications, usually embedded in polymer as fillers to form polymer based nanocomposites, in order to affect the electronic behavior of the polymer matrix. READ MORE
