  3. 17. Glyoxylic-Modified Lignin for Synthesis of Smart Elastomer and Composite Materials

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Xinyi Wei; [2023]
    Keywords : Lignin; lignin-based elastomer; nanocomposites; Lignin; ligninbaserad elastomer; nanokompositer;

    Abstract : Sustainable development has become a global goal and the utilization of bioresources is a key way to achieve this crucial goal. Glyoxylic acid-functionalized lignin (GA-lignin) is one of the novel lignin derivatives extracted from beech wood (hardwood) and has great potential to be an industrially important bioresource.

  6. 20. A population genomic approach to investigate potential island effects in the cryptic wood white butterfly (Leptidea juvernica) : Do island populations have lower genetic diversity and less efficient selection than mainland populations?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Xuejing Hu; [2022]
    Keywords : island effect;

    Abstract : Due to limited geographic ranges, island populations, in general, are expected to have smaller population sizes and a limited influx of migrants compared to populations inhabiting continental mainlands. Therefore, island populations are expected to be influenced by genetic drift and natural selection differently from mainland populations. READ MORE
