  2. 1. Environmental and health hazards of chemicals in plastic polymers and products

    Author : Delilah Lithner; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : plastics; plastic products; plastic polymers; consumer products; environmental hazards; environment; health hazards; human health; hazard ranking; hazard assessment; chemical ranking; hazard identification; hazard classifications; hazardous chemicals; hazardous substances; toxic substances; monomers; polymers; toxicity; acute toxicity; toxicity tests; Daphnia magna; Toxicity Identification Evaluation; TIE; leaching; leachates; product leachates; leaching tests; plastic materials; plastic;

    Abstract : Plastics are extremely diverse in terms of chemical composition, properties and possible applications, and are widely distributed in the society and the environment. In the last 15 years the global annual production has doubled, reaching 245 million tons in 2008. READ MORE

  4. 2. Chemical Pollutants Released to the Marine Environment by Degradation of Plastic Debris

    Author : Berit Gewert; Matthew MacLeod; Magnus Breitholtz; Merle Plassmann; Martin Wagner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plastic; microplastic; degradation; leachates; weathering; photo-oxidation; marine environment; toxicity; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Since the beginning of the mass production in the 1940s, plastic has been manufactured in quickly increasing amounts. Plastic debris accumulates in the environment and lately much attention has been drawn to the pollution in the world’s oceans. READ MORE

  5. 3. Improving alternatives assessment of plastic additives : exploring in silico tools to identify less hazardous flame retardants

    Author : Ziye Zheng; Patrik L. Andersson; Hans Peter Arp; Gregory Peters; Gerrit Schüürmann; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemical alternatives assessment; plastic additives; flame retardants; hazard; emission; in silico; modeling; quantitative structure-activity relationship QSAR ; multi-criteria decision analysis MCDA ; environmental science; miljövetenskap; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry; ekotoxikologi; Ecotoxicology; Toxicology; toxikologi;

    Abstract : Alternatives assessment is applied for replacing hazardous chemicals with viable, safer substitutes. High quality experimental hazard data, however, are usually unavailable for this purpose, and obtaining in silico data is the only approach to fill in data gaps. READ MORE

  6. 4. Microstructural Evolution In As-cast Alloys during Plastic Deformation

    Author : Mitra Basirat; Pär Jönsson; Hasse Fredriksson; Jacques Lacaze; KTH; []
    Keywords : plastic deformation; compression test; recrystallization; deformation band; As-cast; microsegregation; carbide dissolution; disordered structure; order disorder transformation; twining; steel; β brass; copper; SRA - E-Science SeRC ; SRA - E-vetenskap SeRC ;

    Abstract : The effect of deformation on microstructural changes in metals and alloys is the subject of considerable practical interest. The ultimate goal is to control, improve and optimize the microstructure and texture of the finished products produced by metal forming operations. READ MORE

  7. 5. Wood Plastic Composites made from Modified Wood : Aspects on Moisture Sorption, Micromorphology and Durability

    Author : Kristoffer Segerholm; Ove Söderström; Magnus Wålinder; Mats Westin; Pia Larsson Brelid; Per Johan Gustafsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Wood plastic composites; WPC; acetylation; heat treatment; furfurylation; moisture sorption; micromorphology; decay; UV laser; soil test; Biomaterials; Biomaterial;

    Abstract : Wood plastic composite (WPC) materials have seen a continuous market growth worldwide in the last decade. So-called extruded WPC profiles are today mainly used in outdoor applications, e.g. decking, railing and fencing. READ MORE
