  2. 6. Modification of microcapsules for controlled release

    Author : Markus Andersson Trojer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; block copolymer; coordination chemistry; polyelectrolyte multilayer; cross-linking; vibrational spectroscopy; electron paramagnetic resonance; imidazole; controlled release; colloidal stability; Microcapsule; quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation;

    Abstract : Fouling of marine organisms such as algae and barnacles on the boat hull is an enormous problem for the shipping industry. The negative consequences for the society are both economical and environmental. To prevent fouling in general, biocides are typically incorporated directly into the paint. READ MORE

  4. 7. Rorschach personality characteristics in obesity, eating behaviour and treatment outcome

    Author : Kristina Elfhag; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Obesity; Rorschach; personality; psychology; eating behaviour; eating disorder; depression; Body Mass Index; predictors; treatment outcome; pharmacological treatment;

    Abstract : Obesity is a growing public health problem influenced by several factors. Psychology is essential in the study of obesity. Reasons for behaviour are complex and can be partly inaccessible and difficult to reveal in self-reported information. READ MORE

  5. 8. Thermally Modified Timber : Novel Aspects of Bending Behaviour Towards Grading and Structural Applications

    Author : Joran van Blokland; Stergios Adamopoulos; Anders Olsson; Jan Oscarsson; Mark Hughes; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; checks; cracks; digital image correlation; four-point static bending; fracture characteristics; grade determining properties; non-destructive testing; Norway spruce; machine learning; outdoor above-ground exposure; timber grading; scanning electron microscopy; scanning of fibre direction; strain distribution; ThermoWood®; weathering; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : Thermally modified timber (TMT) has gained market share in Europe as an environmentally friendly and durable building material. Unfortunately, TMT products are currently prohibited for use in structural applications as there is insufficient data to estimate the loss in strength due to thermal modification. READ MORE

  6. 9. Moisture-related properties of modified timber - an experimental study

    Author : Hannah Epmeier; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : Scots pine; material properties; chemical modification; building components; timber; bending creep;

    Abstract : Wood has long traditions as a structural and building material. In those cases in which its natural features are not sufficient, chemical modification can eliminate some shortcomings. READ MORE

  7. 10. Solution properties of a hydrophobically modified polymer

    Author : Krister Thuresson; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sodium dodecylsulfate; surfactants; fluorescence; light scattering; NMR; rheology; cloud point; phase behaviour; polyelectrolytes; ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose; hydrophobically modified; water soluble polymers; aggregation number; association; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : The influence of hydrophobic modification on solution properties of water-soluble polymers in the semi-dilute regime have been studied. The nonionic ethyl(hydroxyethyl)cellulose (EHEC) and its hydrophobically modified analogue (HM-EHEC) are used as model substances. READ MORE
