2. 1. Plasticization of Biobased Polymers: A Combined Experimental and Simulation Approach

   Author : Hüsamettin Deniz Özeren; Mikael S. Hedenqvist; Richard Olsson; Fritjof Nilsson; Kim Bolton; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plasticization; starch; gluten; simulation; molecular dynamics; glycerol; mjukgörning; stärkelse; gluten; simulering; molekyldynamik; glycerol; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : The field of bio-based plastics has developed significantly in recent decades and there is an increasing demand for industries to shift from petrochemical to biobased polymers. Biobased polymers offer competitive properties, and in many cases have advantages in terms of cost. READ MORE

4. 2. Additive-Driven Improvements in Interfacial Properties and Processing of TMP-Polymer Composites

   Author : Seyedehsan Hosseini; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; molybdenum disulfide; magnesium stearate; thermomechanical pulp; alkyl ketene dimer; friction; rheology;

   Abstract : Efforts to address environmental concerns have resulted in new regulations designed to plan the reduction of plastic and synthetic polymer usage, necessitating the search for sustainable natural alternatives with comparable cost-effectiveness and mechanical performance. Thermomechanical pulp (TMP) fibres are one of the most affordable natural fibres that have no chemical refining in production, production have a high yield of 90-98% and TMP fibres have been demonstrated to improve the mechanical characteristics (strength, stiffness and toughness) of wood-polymer composites (WPCs) compared to the pure polymer.

5. 3. Experimental study of alkalinisation of cellulose in industrial relevant conditions

   Author : Diana Carolina Reyes Forsberg; Ola Sundman; Bertil Eliasson; Ulf Germgård; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mercerisation; Alkalinisation; Cellulose I; Cellulose II; Alkali cellulose; Viscose; Cellulose ether; Carboxymethylcellulose; Sodium glycolate; Sodium diglycolate; Raman spectroscopy;

   Abstract : Mercerisation of cellulose pulp with a solution of NaOH is the first step of manufacturing cellulose-based value-added products, e.g. viscose fibres and cellulose ethers. During this process, cellulose transforms into a swollen crystalline structure, alkali cellulose (Na-Cell). READ MORE

6. 4. Quality Assessment for the Improved Use of Recycled Styrenic Polymers : Application to packaging and electronic waste

   Author : Francisco Vilaplana; Sigbritt Karlsson; Alfonso Jimenez; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Abstract :  Polymeric waste materials should be considered resources for the manufacture of new products through recycling processes, with a similar status as virgin fossil-based plastics and biopolymers from renewable resources. Several efforts can be done to achieve this qualitative quantum leap and introduce recycled products in the market with competitive performance. READ MORE

7. 5. Vacuum infusion of polymer composites

   Author : Magnus Andersson; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

   Abstract : The current trend towards an increased use of vacuum infusion for manufacturing of high performance fibre reinforced polymer composites has stressed the necessity of an advanced modelling of the process. Until recent years development in this area has mainly been based on trial and error and the behaviour of the method is therefore not fully understood. READ MORE
