2. 1. Rheological and mechanical properties of systems containing nanocellulose

   Author : Tobias Moberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shear rheology; Cellulose nanocrystals; Cellulose nanofibrils; Mechanical properties; Dynamic-mechanical analysis; Composites; Extensional rheology;

   Abstract : Nanocellulose is a cellulose entity at the nanoscale. There are several different types of nanocellulose such as cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), which are long, somewhat flexible fibrils and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), which are shorter and more rod-like particles. READ MORE

4. 2. Mass Transport Through Polymer Films: The Importance of Interfaces and Compatibility

   Author : Sofie Gårdebjer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cellulose; Barriers; Surface modification; Compatibility; Interfaces; Polymer films;

   Abstract : Different types of barriers are used in packaging to keep and protect products from the surrounding environment and are often essential for storing and transportation. Today, many barriers are made of different types of polymers, but since most polymers do not exhibit desired barrier properties on their own, combinations must be used. READ MORE

5. 3. Additive-Driven Improvements in Interfacial Properties and Processing of TMP-Polymer Composites

   Author : Seyedehsan Hosseini; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; molybdenum disulfide; magnesium stearate; thermomechanical pulp; alkyl ketene dimer; friction; rheology;

   Abstract : Efforts to address environmental concerns have resulted in new regulations designed to plan the reduction of plastic and synthetic polymer usage, necessitating the search for sustainable natural alternatives with comparable cost-effectiveness and mechanical performance. Thermomechanical pulp (TMP) fibres are one of the most affordable natural fibres that have no chemical refining in production, production have a high yield of 90-98% and TMP fibres have been demonstrated to improve the mechanical characteristics (strength, stiffness and toughness) of wood-polymer composites (WPCs) compared to the pure polymer.

6. 4. Antimicrobial Polymer Composites for Medical Applications

   Author : Peter Kaali; Sigbritt Karlsson; Ferruccio Doghieri; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; medical polymers; antimicrobial; body fluids; degradation; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Abstract : The current study and discuss the long-term properties of biomedical polymers in vitro and invivo and presents means to design and manufacture antimicrobial composites. Antimicrobialcomposites with reduced tendency for biofilm formation should lead to lower risk for medicaldevice associated infection. READ MORE

7. 5. Melt Spun Electro-Conductive Polymer Composite Fibers

   Author : Azadeh Soroudi; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; conductive fibres; composites; blending; melt spinning; morphology; polyaniline; carbon nanotube; polypropylene; polyamide; draw-ratio; conductivity; Energi och material;

   Abstract : One interesting approach is the development of conductive polymer composite fibers for innovative textile applications such as in sensors, actuators and electrostatic discharge. In this study, conductive polymer composite fibers were prepared using several different blends containing conductive components: a conjugated polymer (polyaniline-complex) and/or carbon nanotubes.
