  2. 1. Swelling of Cellulose Fibrillar Matrices and Gels

    Author : Pernilla Karlsson; Lars Wågberg; Per Tomas Larsson; Eero Kontturi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; swelling; hydrogel; cellulose; wood; cellulose fibrils; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : One of the major challenges of today´s society is to find a sustainable way to create a living based on the resources on earth. It is a challenge that includes a transition from fossil-based materials to renewable/biodegradable raw materials and also the creation of an environmentally friendly circular material flow.

  4. 2. Micromechanical Modelling of Wood and Fibre Properties

    Author : Kent Persson; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environmental technology; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; Microfibril angle; Density; Hygroexpansion; Stiffness; Simulation; Wood; Fibre; pollution control; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; Material technology; Materiallära; materialteknik;

    Abstract : Wood is a material with mechanical properties that vary markedly, both within a tree and among trees. Moisture changes lead to shrinkage or swelling and modify the mechanical properties. READ MORE

  5. 3. On the Modelling of Mechanical Dewatering in Papermaking

    Author : Vinicius Lobosco; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; paper; modelling; dewatering; forming; wet pressing; fibre network stress; rheology; hysteresis; intra-fibre water; compressibility; structural stress; stress-strain; restricted gels; swelling;

    Abstract : Most of the water fed into a paper machine is removedmechanically in the forming and press sections. One of thefactor which has an important influence on mechanicaldewatering, i.e. in both forming and pressing, is thestress-strain behaviour of the fibre network. READ MORE

  6. 4. Wood-fibre composites : Stress transfer and hygroexpansion

    Author : Karin M. Almgren; Kristofer Gamstedt; Véronique Michaud; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Abstract : Wood fibres is a type of natural fibres suitable for composite applications. The abundance of wood in Swedish forests makes wood-fibre composites a new and interesting application for the Swedish pulp and paper industry. READ MORE

  7. 5. Dimensional Stability of Paper : Influence of Fibre-Fibre Joints and Fibre Wall Oxidation

    Author : Per A. Larsson; Lars Wågberg; Mikael Lindström; Lars Berglund; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Abstract : Papper är ett mycket mångsidigt material. Trots detta finns det ett flertal egenskaper som begränsar papperets användbarhet. Ett av de större problemen med cellulosa- och lignocellulosafibrer är att de sänker sin fria energi genom att sorbera vatten, och denna sorption förändrar papperets dimensioner. READ MORE
