  2. 6. Effects of plasticizing and crosslinking on coatings based on blends of starch-PVOH and starch-lignin

    Author : Asif Javed; Henrik Ullsten; Peter Rättö; Lars Järnström; Douglas Bousfield; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Citric acid; Glycerol; Polyethylene glycol; Barrier coatings; Starch; Lignin; Mechanical properties; Poly vinyl alcohol ; Creasing; Adhesion; Cross-linking; Extrusion coating; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : A barrier material is usually needed on a fiber-based food package to protect the packed food from gases and moisture and thus maintain its quality. Barrier materials presently used in food packaging applications are mostly petroleum-based polymers. READ MORE

  4. 7. Chemical Processes at the Water-Manganite (γ-MnOOH) Interface

    Author : Madeleine Ramstedt; Staffan Sjöberg; Per Persson; Lars Lövgren; Steven A. Banwart; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inorganic chemistry; manganite; γ-MnOOH; mineral surface; acid-base properties; adsorption; Cd II ; N- phosphonomethyl glycine; glyphosate; PMG; surface complex; dissolution; disproportionation; XPS; EXAFS; infrared spectroscopy; SEM; AFM; potentiometry; electrophoresis; Oorganisk kemi; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi; oorganisk kemi; Inorganic Chemistry;

    Abstract : The chemistry of mineral surfaces is of great importance in many different areas including natural processes occurring in oceans, rivers, lakes and soils. Manganese (hydr)oxides are one important group to these natural processes, and the thermodynamically most stable trivalent manganese (hydr)oxide, manganit (γ-MnOOH), is studied in this thesis.

  5. 8. Ash chemistry and fuel design focusing on combustion of phosphorus-rich biomass

    Author : Nils Skoglund; Dan Boström; Rainer Backman; Franz Winter; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phosphorus; biomass; combustion; ash chemistry; fuel design; ash transformation; phosphorus-rich; ash-forming elements; fuel fingerprint; ash transformation reactions; Lewis base; Lewis acid; oorganisk kemi; Inorganic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Biomass is increasingly used as a feedstock in global energy production. This may present operational challenges in energy conversion processes which are related to the inorganic content of these biomasses. As a larger variety of biomass is used the need for a basic understanding of ash transformation reactions becomes increasingly important. READ MORE

  6. 9. Anionic Graft Copolymers with Poly(ethylene oxide) Side-Chains; Synthesis, Solution Properties and Ion Conduction

    Author : Helene Dérand; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dieletric properites; ion conduction; solution properties; aggregation; amphiphilic polymers; poly ethylene oxide ; preparation; grafting; Polymer technology; biopolymers; Polymerteknik;

    Abstract : The research underlaying this thesis involves synthesis and characterization of well-defined anionic graft copolymers carrying poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) side-chains. Two different grafting techniques were used. Backbone polymers were prepared through radical terpolymerization of maleic anhydride, styrene and an additional comonomer. READ MORE

  7. 10. Fibre surface properties of kraft pulp : The influence of wood raw material, bleaching and storage

    Author : Gerd Wäne; Ulf Germgård; Pedro Fardim; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to study the fibre surface properties of Birch (Betula ssp.), Eucalyptus (E. urograndis and E. globulus) and Spruce (Picea Abies) pulps bleached using two different methods: ECF (Elementary Chlorine Free) and TCF (Totally Chlorine Free). READ MORE
