  2. 1. Sustainable porous organic materials : Synthesis, sorption properties and characterization

    Author : Fredrik Björnerbäck; Niklas Hedin; Knut Irgum; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; porous materials; sorbents; microporous; CO2 capture and separation; gas adsorption; activated carbon; humins; hypercrosslinked polymers; sustainable; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Abstract : The resources available to us humans, including metals, minerals, biomass, air, water, and anything else on the planet, are being used at an increasing rate. This anthropogenic use of resources both depletes the resources and has negative impacts on other resources, e.g. the biosphere. READ MORE

    Abstract : Ceramics are distinguished from metals and polymers by their inorganic nature and lack of metallic properties. They can be highly crystalline to amorphous, and their physical and chemical properties can vary widely. READ MORE

  5. 3. Upgrading Cellulose Networks: Conquering Limitations in Fiber Foams

    Author : Eliott Jean Quentin Orzan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cross-linking; pore structure; cellular solid; lightweight; porous network; cellulose; flame-retardancy; fibers;

    Abstract : The battle to create structural materials with low environmental impact demands the investiture of two champions: porous structures and cellulose substrates. The dominant solutions when constructing strong lightweight materials are plastic and metallic foams, while currently, cellulose fiber foams suffer from challenges which hamper their development.

    Abstract : Spontaneous spreading of liquids in porous materials is of great industrial relevance and occurs in, for example, diapers, fabrics, paper or paint. Often, it is necessary to manipulate the spreading rate of liquids to result in the desired mass transport, for example to soak up large liquid volumes, as in a diaper. READ MORE
