  1. 1. Synthesis and characterization of lactic acid-based elastomers

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Afsaneh Makhdoumi; [2023]
    Keywords : Lactic acid; Elastomer; Bio-based elastomer; Renewable resource;

    Abstract : 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.

  3. 2. Sustainable Polymer Production: Investigating Synthesis and Copolymerization of Cyclic Ketene Acetals

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Soufian Bourraman; Stella Staffas; Adam Brandt; Simon Isaksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Monomers; polymers; radical; radical ring opening polymerization; polymerization; BMDO; MMA; MVL; MBL; comonomer; copolymer; rROP; sustainable; biobased; degradable; monomer synthesis; plastic; polyester; bulk; solution; NMR; FTIR; TGA; DSC; SEC; hydrolysis; molecular weight; diol; ester bonds;

    Abstract : The large amount of non-degradable plastic waste has become a significant environmental concern, leading to an increased need for degradable plastics. Here in, to create degradable polymers, polyesters were produced through radical ring opening polymerization using cyclic ketene acetals. READ MORE

  4. 3. ROP in novel biobased ionic liquids towards cellulose functionalization

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Rebecca Mattsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Ionic liquids; SI-ROP; coROP; polyesters; cellulose; Jonvätska; yt-initierad Ringöppnings-polymerisation; ringöppnings-sampolymerisation; polyestrar; cellulosa;

    Abstract : Ett nytt sätt att aktivera cellulosa för kemisk modifiering med hjälp av en miljövänlig process har utvecklats innan starten av detta projekt. Två versionen av den nyskapade betain-baserade jonvätskan, BBIL har syntetiserats, en som använder mesylat som motjon, M-BBIL och en som använder acetat, A-BBIL. READ MORE

  5. 4. Polymerization of Zwitterionic Sulphobetaine Methacrylate and Modification of Contact Lens Substrate

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Tobias Ingverud; [2015]
    Keywords : Zwitterionic; Sulphobetaine; RAFT; ATRP; End-group-modification; Grafting-to; Contact lens; zwitterjonisk; RAFT; ATRP; ändgrupps modifiering; ympning-till; kontakt;

    Abstract : In this study, the zwitterionic monomer [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide (SBMA) was polymerized in a controlled manner by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The SBMA was also polymerized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) but in a less controlled manner why ATRP was discarded for further use in the study. READ MORE

  6. 5. POLYMERIZATION OF δ-VALERO LACTONE BY NOVEL CYCLODEXTRIN DIMER

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Jonas Bengtsson; [2012]
    Keywords : cyclodextrin; ring-opening; polymerization; lactone; macromolecular chemistry;

    Abstract : På senare tid har forskning syftat till att främja miljövänligare teknik inom alla fält. Det visar sig inom materialframställningen som en önskan att använda material som inte är beroende av olja, inte tillverkade med tungmetaller samt nedbrytbara med en minimal miljöpåverkan. READ MORE
