    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Foams; Wheat gluten; Glutenin; Gliadin; Renewable; Freeze-drying; Pore structure; Baceterial cellulose; Glycerol; Mechanical properties; Thermal conductivity; Combustion properties;

    Abstract : This thesis presents wheat gluten foams as an alternative to the available commercialfoams. Polymeric foams, like all plastics, are mostly made from petroleum, and this isaffecting the environment negatively with the emission of greenhouse gases and generation oflandfills. READ MORE

  2. 2. Gluten Protein-Based Microcellular Foams and Composites: Development and Functional Properties

    Author : Thomas Blomfeldt; Mikael Hedenqvist; Mats K G Johansson; Lars Kloo; KTH; []
    Keywords : Wheat Gluten; Foam; Freeze-drying; Glycerol; Bacterial cellulose; Pore structure; Protein structure; Compression; Thermal conductivity; Combustion;

    Abstract : Most common foams are produced from non-renewable resources (e.g., synthetic plastics),with a number of environmental concerns, hence there is a demand for alternative bio-derivedfoam materials. Wheat gluten protein is widely known to have excellent foaming properties(e. READ MORE
