2. 1. Cellulose–Assisted Dispersion of Carbon Nanotubes : From Colloids to Composites

   Author : Alireza Hajian; Lars Berglund; Milo Shaffer; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nanocelluloses; Carbon nanotubes; Composites; Colloids; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : It is a challenge to disperse nanoparticles to obtain a nanostructured composite. This thesis aims at providing a new route to fabricate carbon nanotube (CNT) composites and suggests mechanisms for nanocellulose–CNT interactions. This route is based on unmodified CNT dispersed in water with the help of nanocellulose. READ MORE

4. 2. Nanocelluloses - surface modification and use in functional materials

   Author : Michaela Salajková; Lars Berglund; Gunnar Westman; Anna Finne; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nanocellulose; surfactant; surface modification; papermaking process; quaternary ammonium salt;

   Abstract : Cellulose nanocomposites offer interesting potential in terms of improved properties and new functionalities compared with microcomposites. Preparation from colloidal suspensions is promising, since high reinforcement content is possible and a wide range of constituents can be used. READ MORE

5. 3. Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases for green production of cellulose nanomaterials

   Author : Salla Koskela; Qi Zhou; Markus Linder; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cellulose; enzyme; CNC; CNF; LPMO; nanocellulose; wood; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

   Abstract : Cellulose is the main structural polymer in wood, and its potential in the form of nanomaterial building blocks, nanocelluloses, has now been recognized. Nanocelluloses, including cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), have become increasingly important in development of modern sustainable materials. READ MORE

6. 4. Surface Modification of Nanocellulose towards Composite Applications

   Author : Assya Boujemaoui; Anna Carlmark Malkoch; Eva Malmström Jonsson; Julien Bras; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nanocellulose; surface modification; functionalization; composites; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Nanocelluloses have attracted great interest during recent decades owing to their renewability, abundancy and remarkable physical and mechanical properties. The aim of this work was to investigate new strategies for surface modification and functionalization of nanocelluloses and their subsequent incorporation in polymer-host matrices. READ MORE

7. 5. Nanopolysaccharides for adsorption of heavy metal ions from water

   Author : Peng Liu; Qi Zhou; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Trä och bionanokompositer; Wood and Bionanocomposites;

   Abstract : With population expansion and industrialization, heavy metal has become one of the biggest and most toxic water pollutants, which is a serious problem for human society today. The aim of this work is to explore the potential of nanopolysaccharides including nanocellulose and nanochitin to remove metal ions from contaminated water. READ MORE
