2. 1. Manufacturing and Characterization of Cellulose Nanofibers

   Author : Carl Moser; Mikael Lindström; Gunnar Henriksson; Kristin Syverud; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cellulose; Nanofibers; Characterization; Homogenization; Endoglucanase; TEMPO; Specific surface area; Atomic force microscopy; Cellulosa; Nanofibrer; Karakterisering; Homogenisering; Endoglukanas; TEMPO; Specifik ytarea; Atomkraftmikroskopi; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : The usage of wood has been a dominant driving force during the evolution of the human species. It allowed us to cook food, build tools, put roofs over our head and explore the world. The fibers making up the tree has been the most important way to store and transmit knowledge in the form of paper for centuries. READ MORE

4. 2. From bio-based residues to nanofibers using mechanical fibrillation for functional biomaterials

   Author : Linn Berglund; Kristiina Oksman; Monika Österberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nanofibers; Industrial residues; Ultrafine grinding; Energy-efficiency; Network formation; Hydrogel; Trä och bionanokompositer; Wood and Bionanocomposites;

   Abstract : Bio-based resource utilization in different forms has been driven by societal, industrial and academic research interests towards the development of “green”, sustainable materials from renewable sources. Within this context, exploiting biomass from different industrial residues is further advantageous from an environmental and economic point of view, leading to minimization of residues by means of waste treatment and to the development of high-addedvalue- products.

   Abstract : Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are of interest as load-bearing components for polymer matrix nanocomposites. A wide range of nanostructured materials including nanopaper/films, foams, aerogels, and hydrogels can be prepared from CNFs. The material performance can be fine-tuned when CNFs are combined with different polymer matrices. READ MORE

6. 4. Mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers

   Author : Henrik Jackman; Krister Svensson; Pavel Krakhmalev; Håkan Olin; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; atomic force microscopy; bending; carbon nanotubes; deformation; scanning electron microscopy; Young s modulus; carbon nanofibers; mechanical properties; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have extraordinary electrical and mechanical properties, and many potential applications have been proposed, ranging from nanoscale devices to reinforcement of macroscopic structures. However, due to their small sizes, characterization of their mechanical properties and deformation behaviours are major challenges. READ MORE
