2. 6. Off-gassing from thermally treated lignocellulosic biomass

   Author : Eleonora Borén; Markus Broström; Sylvia H. Larsson; Peter Björklund; Lorenz Gerber; Henrik Antti; Capucine Dupont; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Torrefaction; steam explosion; enclosed storage; CO; CO2; O2 depletion; VOCs; Tenax-TA; SPME; process settings; storage temperature; storage time;

   Abstract : Off-gassing of hazardous compounds is, together with self-heating and dust explosions, the main safety hazards within large-scale biomass storage and handling. Formation of CO, CO2, and VOCs with concurrent O2 depletion can occur to hazardous levels in enclosed stored forest products. READ MORE

4. 7. Evaluation of Low Temperature Damage in Asphalt Mixtures with Non-Contact Resonance Testing

   Author : Abiy Bekele; Denis Jelagin; William Buttlar; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Asphalt concrete; dynamic modulus; non-contact excitation; resonance testing; thermally induced damage; viscoelasticity; Asfaltbetong; beröringsfri excitation; resonansfrekvens; resonansprovning; styvhetsmodul; Building Materials; Byggnadsmaterial;

   Abstract : Thetemperature induceddamage in asphalt mixtureshas always been a major distress that requires a substantialconsiderationin the asphalt industry. One of the most important aspects of studying temperature induceddamage is developing a practical test method for evaluation of the material’s resistanceto it. READ MORE

5. 8. Thermally stable electrical contacts to 6H silicon carbide

   Author : Nils Lundberg; Mikael Östling; Claude Jaussaud; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; I-V current -voltage ; C-V capacitance-voltage ; rectifying; ohmic; interface; silicide; carbide; epilayer; Schottky barrier height; current rectification ratio CRR ; specific contact resistivity; transmission line model TLM ; contact resistance; transfer length; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Silicon Carbide (SiC) are at present being developed for use in high temperature (≥ 500◦C) and high-power environments under which conventional semiconductors can hardly perform.  Thermally stable electrical contacts are essential to the ability of SiC to function under such extreme conditions.

6. 9. Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) from a moderate halophile: production and modification for new applications

   Author : Marlene Munoz; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biopolymers; polyhydroxyalkanoates; polyhydroxybutyrate; moderate halophile; Halomonas boliviensis; fermentation; recovery; thermally induced phase separation; scaffolds; covalent modification; hydrophobic ion pairing; polyethylenemine; lysozyme.;

   Abstract : Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a homopolymer belonging to the family of biopolyesters, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) produced by different bacteria and archaea as intracellular granules often under conditions of metabolic stress due to a limited supply of essential nutrients. The properties of the PHAs are similar to those of polyethylene and polypropylene and can hence replace these fossil based polymers in a large variety of applications. READ MORE

7. 10. Porous Polymeric Monoliths by Less Common Pathways : Preparation and Characterization

   Author : Ahmed Elhaj; Knut Irgum; Sebastiaan Eeltink; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Monolith; commodity polymer; thermally induced phase separation; dissolution-precipitation; polymer solvents; porogenic polymer; step-growth polymerization; separation science; melamine-formaldehyde;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on my endeavors to prepare new porous polymeric monoliths that are viable to use as supports in flow-through processes. Polymer monoliths of various porous properties and different chemical properties have been prepared utilizing the thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) phenomenon and step-growth polymerization reactions.
