2. 1. Functional and Renewable Galactoglucomannan-based Hydrogels

   Author : Jens Voepel; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Ulrica Edlund; Gunnar Henriksson; Margaretha Söderqvist; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polysaccharides; hydrogels; swelling; crosslinking; hemicellulose; release; polysackarider; hemicellulosa; hydrogel; läkemedelsfrisättning; förnyelsebar; tvärbindning.; Functional materials; Funktionella material;

   Abstract : Polysaccharides represent an important resource for a variety of products, from food via fuel supply to functional materials of every kind. Here they are, due to their natural diversity found in many special applications, e.g. in the biomedical sector. READ MORE

4. 2. Exploring fatty acid derivatives from renewable resources as raw materials for coating applications

   Author : Samer Nameer; Mats Johansson; Mats Martinelle; Dean Webster; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; epoxy; vegetable oils; birch bark; thermoset; bio-based; fatty acid; renewable resources; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : In the work presented herein, epoxy fatty acid derivatives were explored in the formation of thermosets for coating applications. The epoxy fatty acid derivatives were obtained from renewable resources such as birch tree bark and epoxidized linseed oil. READ MORE

5. 3. Hemicellulose as barrier material

   Author : Hartman Jonas; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Gunnar Henriksson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hemicellulose; galactoglucomannan; plasma surface treatment; vaporphase grafting; benzylation; contact angle; oxygen permeability; solution casting; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

   Abstract : Polysaccharides constitute an important source of raw materials for the packaging industry today. Polysaccharides have good natural barrier properties which are necessary for packaging films. Cellulose is the forerunner among renewable polymers for such applications. Hemicelluloses represent a new interesting breed of barrier materials. READ MORE

6. 4. ELM: Environmental Assessment of Fuel Supply Systems for Vehicle Fleets

   Author : Magnus Blinge; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; exergy; biomass; alternative motor fuel; wnvironment; transportation; renewable; energy; Life Cycle Assessment; logistics; emission;

   Abstract : This thesis is based on the idea of applying a logistics approach to fuel supply systems. The complete supply chain from energy raw material to end use in the vehicle is analysed while keeping track of energy conversion efficiency, exergy consumption and emissions to air. READ MORE

7. 5. Chemical Pathways for Galactoglucomannan-based Materials

   Author : Jens Voepel; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Ulrica Edlund; Søren Hvilsted; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polysaccharides; hemicelluloses; galactoglucomannan; renewable; chemical modification; hydrogels; swelling; crosslinking; release; SET-LRP; living polymerization; grafting; hybrid materials; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Abstract : Polysaccharides are an important resource for a variety of products, from food via fuel supply to functional materials of every kind. Due to their natural diversity they can be found in many special applications, e.g. in the biomedical sector and are the major renewable resource for materials of many kinds. READ MORE
