  1. 6. Synergistic fire- and mechanical effect of biochar and ammonium polyphosphate in epoxy composite

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Anton Olausson; Ludvig Jönsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Ammonium polyphosphate; Biochar; Composite; Epoxy; Synergistic effect;

    Abstract : Polymer composites are used in a varying extent and are challenging the use of traditional materials due to the push towards sustainable development. They have replaced steels and aluminum alloys in applications. READ MORE

  3. 7. Assessment of aggregate structure in porous asphalt using X-ray computed tomography

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och banteknik

    Author : Mari Haagenrud Matsson; Malex Love Valdemar Åkerblom; [2023]
    Keywords : Tomography; non-destructive testing; destructive testing; air voids content; aggregate size distribution; porous asphalt;

    Abstract : X-ray computed tomography is a technique that has been successfully utilized to characterize internal microstructure of asphalt mixtures. The city of Linköping (Sweden) developed an action plan to reduce noise; accordingly KTH and VTI developed a method to determine air void content in porous asphalt using x-ray computed tomography and an image processing software called ImageJ.

  4. 8. Numerical modeling of airflow on the cathode-side of a bipolar flow plate : How the formed geometry affects the pressure drop and flow distribution in a hydrogen fuel cell

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Olivia Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Performance; Cross-sectional geometry; Computational fluid dynamics;

    Abstract : Climate change and rising temperatures is a well-known problem. To tackle global warming a transition from fossil fuels to renewable and reliable energy sources is necessary. Hydrogen, in fuel cells, is proposed to replace diesel and gasoline in the transport sector. READ MORE

  5. 9. 3D printing of ceramic composites with improved mechanical strength

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Liu Yuchen; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : AbstractCeramic materials have a wide range of applications in many fields, but their fragility limits theiruse in high strength and high stress environments. Therefore, by combining ceramic materialswith reinforcing agents, their mechanical properties can be improved. READ MORE
