  1. 1. Evaluation of a computational method for natural fiber-reinforced plastics

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Anna Lim; [2023]
    Keywords : PPNF; Composite material; fiber orientation; natural fiber; coupled analysis; PPNF; Kompositmaterial; fiberorientering; naturfiber; kopplad analys;

    Abstract : 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

  3. 2. Identification of Fibers in Micro-CT Images of Paperboard Using Deep Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Hållfasthetslära; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : David Rydgård; [2023]
    Keywords : Fiber networks; Paperboard mechanics; Deep learning; Tomography; Image analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master thesis project explores the possibility of using deep learning to segment individual fibers in three-dimensional tomography images of paperboard fiber networks. We test a method which has previously been used to segment fibers in images of glass fiber reinforced polymers. READ MORE

  4. 3. Incorporation of Plasticizers through Refining into Wood Pulp : A Potential Route For Bio-based Thermoplastic Materials

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Victor Eric Pierre Chartrain; [2023]
    Keywords : Cellulose; Paper; Plasticizer; Mechanical Refining; Cellulosa; Papper; Mjukgörare; mekanisk bearbetning;

    Abstract : Fibers are interesting materials alternative to replace conventional fossil-based plastics, as they are bio-based and do not lead to CO2 emissions. Due to their limited ductility, it is difficult to use them to make complex three-dimensional shapes. READ MORE

  5. 4. Improvements in Energy Efficiency of Vacuum Dewatering of Greaseproof Paper : Simulation of a Triple Vacuum Suction Box in Laboratory Scale

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för kemiteknik

    Author : Björn Öman; [2023]
    Keywords : Vacuum dewatering; greaseproof paper; triple vacuum suction box; grammage; energy efficiency; dryness; Vakuumavvattning; greaseproofpapper; trippelvakuumsuglåda; ytvikt; energieffektivitet; torrhalt;

    Abstract : Vacuum dewatering of paper is a heavily energy expensive process, even more so for greaseproof paper, which is one of the main products at Nordic Paper Seffle AB. Due to this being such an energy demanding process, improvements in the vacuum dewatering could save massive amounts of energy. READ MORE
