2. 1. Hierarchical Assembly Investigations and Multiscale Characterization of Protein-based Materials : Insights from Whey Protein Nanofibrils and Recombinant Spider Silk Microspheres

   Author : Eirini Ornithopoulou; My Hedhammar; Thomas Crouzier; Christina Divne; Tim Melander Bowden; KTH; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hierarchical Assembly; Protein-based materials; Whey Protein Nanofibrils; β-Lactoglobulin; Recombinant Spider Silk; Microspheres; Biomedical Applications; Surface Biofunctionalization; Hierarkisk montering; Proteinbaserade material; Vassleprotein nanofibriller; β-Laktoglobulin; Rekombinant spindelsilke Mikrosfärer; Biomedicinska tillämpningar; Ytbiokonjugering; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

   Abstract : Protein-based materials, with their unique properties of combining high strength, while maintaining elasticity, and their inherent biocompatibility, hold immense potential for various applications. In order to harness these properties, we need to understand and control how protein building blocks come together to form hierarchically structured materials. READ MORE

4. 2. Protein-based Packaging Films, Sheets and Composites: Process Development and Functional Properties

   Author : Sung-Woo Cho; Mikael Hedenqvist; Amar K. Mohanty; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; wheat gluten; solution casting; compression molding; extrusion; injection molding; aging; migration; opacity; heat sealability; hemp fiber; laminate; polylactic acid; clay; nanocomposites.; Other chemical engineering; Övrig kemiteknik;

   Abstract : The depletion of the petroleum resources and a number of environmental concerns led to considerable research efforts in the field of biodegradable materials over the last few decades. Of the diverse range of biopolymers, wheat gluten (WG) stands out as an alternative to synthetic plastics in packaging applications due to its attractive combination of flexibility and strength, high gas barrier properties under low humidity conditions and renewability.

5. 3. Bio-based materials from crambe and carinata industrial oilseed meals : compression moulded and extruded oilseed meal plastics

   Author : William Newson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Protein-based plastics are considered as a new route for valorisation of oilseed meal from the industrial oil crops Crambe abyssinia (crambe) and Brassica carinata (carinata) as they cannot be used for animal feed or human food. To convert oilseed meals into protein-based plastic films compression moulding was used with varying processing temperature, chemical additives and protein extraction conditions. READ MORE

6. 4. Gluten Protein-Based Microcellular Foams and Composites: Development and Functional Properties

   Author : Thomas Blomfeldt; Mikael Hedenqvist; Mats K G Johansson; Lars Kloo; KTH; []
   Keywords : Wheat Gluten; Foam; Freeze-drying; Glycerol; Bacterial cellulose; Pore structure; Protein structure; Compression; Thermal conductivity; Combustion;

   Abstract : Most common foams are produced from non-renewable resources (e.g., synthetic plastics),with a number of environmental concerns, hence there is a demand for alternative bio-derivedfoam materials. Wheat gluten protein is widely known to have excellent foaming properties(e. READ MORE

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

   Author : Antonio Jose Capezza; Mikael S. Hedenqvist; Eva Johansson; Antonio Guerrero; KTH; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; proteins; circularity; superabsorbents; sustainability; acylation; extrusion; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : The preparation of sustainable protein superabsorbents from agricultural industry side-streams is reported. Wheat gluten (WG), a co-product from the ethanol/starch industry, was processed into foams with sponge-like behavior and high liquid uptake. READ MORE
