  1. 11. Crystallinity of Sputtered TiO2 Thin Films: a Study of the Heating and Plasma Influence on the Growth

    University essay from

    Author : oussama ezzaher; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : AbstractHigh-Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS) of TiO2 thin films enhances their photocatalyticproperties compared to the films prepared by standard sputtering methods, especially when no substrateheating is employed. With no heating, the coatings present an amorphous structure that benefits from theionization of the sputtered flux granted by HiPIMS, with respect to their photocatalytic performance. READ MORE

  3. 12. Quality Assurance of Recycled HDPE in the Plastic Packaging Industry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Innovation

    Author : Tora Abrahamsson; Juliana Kalling; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermoforming; Plastics; Recycling; Packaging Industry; HDPE; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The recycling of plastic has the potential to support circular material use, thus decreasing the need for virgin plastics. However, there is an existing issue with assuring quality of recycled plastic materials, causing finished products to perform with poorer properties and unexpected deviations. READ MORE

  4. 13. Investigation of Milled Wood Lignin Extraction Using Enzymatic Hydrolysis for Application in Hydrophobic Barriers in the Food Packaging Industry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Anna Wagne; [2023]
    Keywords : Lignin; extraction; hydrophobicity; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The objective of this report is twofold: to optimise the extraction method of lignin from spruce altering a few process parameters and to investigate the use of lignin as a hydrophobic barrier in food applications. The process used was STEX (steam explosion) pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis and MWL (milled wood lignin) extraction using a mixture of dioxane-water. READ MORE

  5. 14. Graphene Based Aqueous Ammonium Dual-Ion Batteries

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturkemi

    Author : Arvid Sandberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Dual ion batteries; materials science; chemistry; organic polymer;

    Abstract : The global transition to renewable energy sources is placing high demands on the development of effective energy storage methods, the most prevalent being batteries. Dual-ion batteries are a new battery technology that takes advantage of the simultaneous intercalation of both cations and anions. READ MORE

  6. 15. Reprocessing and Characterization of Polybenzimidazole for High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Douglas Björkengren; [2023]
    Keywords : polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells; PEMFC; HTPEMFC; polymer technology; polymer characterization; reprocessing; recycling; polybenzimidazole; PBI; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A reprocessing method of poly(2,2’-(m-phenylene)-5,5’-bibenzimidazole) (PBI) membranes recovered from the production line of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) at Blue World Technologies (BWT) has been developed in order to reduce material loss in the production. Redissolution of scrap PBI membranes in poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA) and phosphoric acid (PA) was successful and the subsequent washing procedure produced PBI that could be redissolved in N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) and suitable for solution casting of new membranes.
