  2. 1. Thermally Modified Timber : Novel Aspects of Bending Behaviour Towards Grading and Structural Applications

    Author : Joran van Blokland; Stergios Adamopoulos; Anders Olsson; Jan Oscarsson; Mark Hughes; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; checks; cracks; digital image correlation; four-point static bending; fracture characteristics; grade determining properties; non-destructive testing; Norway spruce; machine learning; outdoor above-ground exposure; timber grading; scanning electron microscopy; scanning of fibre direction; strain distribution; ThermoWood®; weathering; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : Thermally modified timber (TMT) has gained market share in Europe as an environmentally friendly and durable building material. Unfortunately, TMT products are currently prohibited for use in structural applications as there is insufficient data to estimate the loss in strength due to thermal modification. READ MORE

  4. 2. Combined Electricity Production and Thermally Driven Cooling from Municipal Solid Waste

    Author : Seksan Udomsri; Andrew R. Martin; Torsten Fransson; Erik Dahlquist; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; municipal solid waste; incineration; hybrid cycle; power production; thermally driven cooling; absorption chillers; decentralized thermally driven cooling; district heating; Mechanical and thermal engineering; Mekanisk och termisk energiteknik; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

    Abstract : Increasingly intensive efforts are being made to enhance energy systems via augmented introduction of renewable energy along with improved energy efficiency. Resource constraints and sustained high fossil fuel prices have created a new phenomenon in the world market. READ MORE

  5. 3. Thermally Expandable Microspheres Prepared via Suspension Polymerization - Synthesis, Characterization, and Application

    Author : Magnus Jonsson; Eva Malmström Jonsson; Søren Hvilsted; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Thermally expandable microspheres; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : Thermally expandable microspheres are polymeric core/shell particles in which a volatile hydrocarbon is encapsulated by a thermoplastic shell. When these microspheres are heated, they expand and increase their volume dramatically. READ MORE

  6. 4. Thermally driven wind modification in coastal areas and its influence on sound propagation with application to wind power

    Author : Karin Törnblom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wind power; sound propagation; thermally driven; coastal areas; temperature gradient; low level jet; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract : The objective of the current study is to investigate the wind modifications in coastal areas and also to see the impact of atmospheric conditions on long-range sound propagation over sea. This is important when planning where to place wind turbines. READ MORE

  7. 5. Surface characterisation of thermally modified spruce wood and influence of water vapour sorption

    Author : Susanna Källbom; Magnus Wålinder; Kristoffer Segerholm; Dennis Jones; Marko Petrič; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermally modified wood; Norway spruce; inverse gas chromatography IGC ; dynamic vapour sorption DVS ; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy XPS ; surface energy; Värmebehandlat trä; gran; omvänd gaskromatografi IGC ; dynamic vapour sorption DVS ; röntgenelektronspektroskopi XPS ; ytegenskaper; ytenergi;

    Abstract : Today there is growing interest within the construction sector to increase the proportion of biobased building materials made from renewable resources. By-products or residuals from wood processing could in this case be valuable resources for manufacturing new types of biocomposites. READ MORE
