  2. 21. Exploring crosslinked networks of polymers and hybrid cellulose materials

    Author : Tobias Ingverud; Michael Malkoch; Lars Wågberg; Anders Egede Daugaard; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : The field of polymer chemistry has in recent decades had an immense development, resulting in new functional materials with groundbreaking applications. This has been driven partly by strong interdisciplinary alliances between the fields of medicine, biology, chemistry, and materials science. READ MORE

  4. 22. Plasticization of Biobased Polymers: A Combined Experimental and Simulation Approach

    Author : Hüsamettin Deniz Özeren; Mikael S. Hedenqvist; Richard Olsson; Fritjof Nilsson; Kim Bolton; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plasticization; starch; gluten; simulation; molecular dynamics; glycerol; mjukgörning; stärkelse; gluten; simulering; molekyldynamik; glycerol; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : The field of bio-based plastics has developed significantly in recent decades and there is an increasing demand for industries to shift from petrochemical to biobased polymers. Biobased polymers offer competitive properties, and in many cases have advantages in terms of cost. READ MORE

  5. 23. Sustainable Biobased Protein Superabsorbents from Agricultural Co-Products

    Author : Antonio Jose Capezza; Mikael S. Hedenqvist; Eva Johansson; Antonio Guerrero; KTH; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []

    Abstract : All-lignocellulose composites, meaning densified fiber or fibril materials without added binder, show interesting mechanical properties and can be eco-friendly. Composites based on hot-pressed microfibrillated lignocellulose (MFLC) and lignocellulosic wood fiber (WF) reinforcements are compared with respect to processing, structure, mechanical properties, and eco-indicators.
