   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polymera konstruktionsmaterial; Polymeric Composite Materials;

   Abstract : The use of lightweight materials in structural applications is ever increasing. Today, lightweight engineering materials are needed to realise greener, safer and more competitive products. READ MORE

5. 3. Thermoplastic processing of starch and cellulose-containing polymers

   Author : Mats Thunwall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermoplastic starch; amylose; extrusion; injection moulding; polymers; cellulose; film blowing; composite;

   Abstract : Starch and cellulose are two naturally occurring polymers that have the potential to reduce the dependence on fossil resources if used as replacements or as complements to synthetic polymers. There are however some problems associated with the use of these polymers that have to be addressed and solved. READ MORE

6. 4. Structural and Physical Effects of Carbon Nanofillers in Thermoplastic and Thermosetting Polymer Systems

   Author : Sanjukta Chatterjee; Svensson Svante; Ritva Serimaa; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polymer; Composite; Carbon nanotube; Graphene;

   Abstract : Ever since the discovery of carbon nano materials like carbon nanotube (CNT) and graphene, this class of materials has gained significant attention due to their exotic properties. The principle idea of my present research project is to understand the novel improvements induced in polymer matrices with inclusion of the nanofillers. READ MORE

7. 5. Processing and properties of thermoplastic composites containing cellulose nanocrystals or wood-based cellulose fibres

   Author : Lilian Forsgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Extrusion; Cellulose nanocrystals; Cellulose; Thermal stability; Tensile properties; Wood-based fibres; Injection moulding; Composite;

   Abstract : Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were surface modified with dialkylamines to increase the compatibility between the CNC and the polymeric matrix, and promising results were obtained, with a 300 % stiffness increase when the mixed dispersion was compression moulded on a laboratory scale. The manufacturing process was up-scaled using water-assisted mixing in a twin-screw extruder (TSE) followed by a second compounding step and injection moulding (IM). READ MORE
