2. 16. On processing of thermoplastic starch

   Author : Mats Thunwall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; amylose; starch; extrusion; thermoplastic starch;

   Abstract : Starch is a biodegradable material produced in many different crop plants. Since it is biodegradable, inexpensive, generally has good barrier properties and comes from a renewable source it would be an ideal material to use in e.g. packaging applications. READ MORE

4. 17. 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

5. 18. Protein-based Packaging Films, Sheets and Composites: Process Development and Functional Properties

   Author : Sung-Woo Cho; Mikael Hedenqvist; Amar K. Mohanty; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; wheat gluten; solution casting; compression molding; extrusion; injection molding; aging; migration; opacity; heat sealability; hemp fiber; laminate; polylactic acid; clay; nanocomposites.; Other chemical engineering; Övrig kemiteknik;

   Abstract : The depletion of the petroleum resources and a number of environmental concerns led to considerable research efforts in the field of biodegradable materials over the last few decades. Of the diverse range of biopolymers, wheat gluten (WG) stands out as an alternative to synthetic plastics in packaging applications due to its attractive combination of flexibility and strength, high gas barrier properties under low humidity conditions and renewability.

6. 19. On the processing and properties of cellulose-containing polymeric materials

   Author : Ruth Arino Marine; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dispersion; extrusion; injection moulding; ionic liquids; compounding; ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer; gels; cellulose fibres; rheological properties;

   Abstract : Cellulose fibres have properties such as renewability, biodegradability, very good availability and low cost that make them very attractive as a reinforcement for thermoplastic polymers. Other more specific favourable properties are low density, high specific stiffness, low abrasive nature and their potential for modification. READ MORE

7. 20. 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
