  2. 1. Nanocomposites of Cellulose and Conducting Polymer for Electrical Energy Storage

    Author : Henrik Olsson; Leif Nyholm; Maria Strømme; Martin Sjödin; Johan Bobacka; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polypyrrole; Nanocomposites; Energy storage; Conducting polymers; Cellulose; Engineering Science with specialization in Nanotechnology and Functional Materials; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot nanoteknologi och funktionella material;

    Abstract : The world’s increased energy storage demand, as well as the environmental concerns related to the combustion of fossil fuels, has triggered a transition to intermittent renewable energy sources as well as to electrical and hybrid vehicles. Current day rechargeable batteries are, due to the invention and development of lithium ion batteries, technologically well positioned to answer to some of these demands. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cellulose Nanofibril Networks and Composites : Preparation, Structure and Properties

    Author : Marielle Henriksson; Lars Berglund; Alain Dufresne; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cellulose nanocomposites; microfibrillated cellulose; nanofibrils; biofibers; mechanical properties; deformation mechanisms; molar mass; endoglucanase; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Träbaserade cellulosananofibriller är intressanta som förstärkande fas i polymera nanokompositer; detta främst på grund av den kristallina cellulosans höga styvhet och på grund av nanofibrillernas förmåga att bilda nätverk. Cellulosananofibriller kan användas i form av mikrokristallin cellulosa, MCC, som har lågt längd/diameter förhållande, eller i form av mikrofibrillerad cellulosa, MFC, med högt längd/diameter förhållande.

  5. 3. Bio-inspired cellulose nanocomposites and foams based on starch matrix

    Author : Anna Svagan; Lars A. Berglund; Salvatore Iannace; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; starch; cellulose nanofibers; foam; nanocomposites; cushioning materials; biodegradable; expanded polystyrene; mechanical properties; diffusion; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : In 2007 the production of expanded polystyrene (EPS) in the world was over 4 million tonnes and is expected to grow at 6 percent per year. With the increased concern about environmental protection, alternative biodegradable materials from renewable resources are of interest. READ MORE

  6. 4. Pharmaceutical Nanocomposites : Structure–Mobility–Functionality Relationships in the Amorphous State

    Author : Joel Hellrup; Denny Mahlin; Göran Alderborn; László Fábián; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amorphous; pharmaceutical composites; solid state; structure; molecular mobility; spray-drying; freeze-drying; moisture sorption; physical stability; compression; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science;

    Abstract : Amorphous materials are found in pharmaceutical formulations both as excipients and active ingredients. Indeed, these formulations are becoming an essential strategy for incorporating drugs into well-performing solid dosage forms. READ MORE

  7. 5. Tailored adhesion of PISA-latexes for cellulose modification and new materials
