  1. 1. Environmentally adapted lubricants : properties and performance

    Author : Anders Pettersson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machine Elements; Maskinelement;

    Abstract : The lubricants of the future have to be more environmentally adapted, show a higher level of performance, and give a lower total life cycle cost (LCC) than the lubricants that are used today. One way to be able to produce, choose and formulate these lubricants is to have good knowledge about the properties of the base fluids and their additive response. READ MORE

  2. 2. Biocomposites Based on Core-Shell Cellulose Nanofibers : Preparation, Structure, and Properties

    Author : Kasinee Prakobna; Lars Berglund; David Plackett; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biocomposites; cellulose nanofibers; polysaccharides; holocellulose; nanostructure; dispersion; mechanical properties; hygromechanical properties; moisture stability; film; porous material; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are of interest as load-bearing components for polymer matrix nanocomposites. A wide range of nanostructured materials including nanopaper/films, foams, aerogels, and hydrogels can be prepared from CNFs. The material performance can be fine-tuned when CNFs are combined with different polymer matrices. READ MORE

  3. 3. Tensile behaviour of mineral-based composites

    Author : Katalin Orosz; Anders Ansell; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Externally bonded fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems have shown to be a robust and durable way to repair, or strengthen concrete structures. Epoxy, as the most common bonding agent, provides excellent force transfer, and bonds well to the base substrate to the as well as to the strengthening material. READ MORE

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

    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.

    Abstract : Design deals with matters of aesthetics. Historically, aesthetics in industrial design refers to the designed artifact: aesthetics of objects. When designed artifacts include digital technologies, aesthetics in design refers to what happens between people and artifacts as well: aesthetics of interaction. READ MORE
