  2. 11. Bio-based barriers from wood hydrolysates : A pilot-scale approach

    Author : Soheil Saadatmand; Ulrica Edlund; Youssef Habibi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wood hydrolysate; biorefinery; oxygen permeability; multilayer barriers; food packaging.; vedhydrolysat; syrgaspermeabilitet; barriärskikt; livsmedelsförpackning;

    Abstract : Wood hydrolysates (WHs) are liquids extracted from the hydrothermal treatment of wood. They exist as the byproduct of forestry industries such as the dissolving pulp and fiberboard industries. WHs are hemicellulose-based with a large share of lignin in the chemical composition.

  4. 12. Design of new bioresourcepackaging from wood hydrolysates

    Author : Soheil Saadatmand; Ulrica Edlund; Monica Ek; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Hemicelluloses are a large group of polysaccharides that have recently attracted considerable attention in many industrial fields due to their abundance and renewability. They are non-edible and possess very good oxygen-barrier properties. READ MORE

  5. 13. Innate Confinement Effects in PCL Oligomers as a  Route to Confined Space Crystallisation

    Author : Nima Sanandaji; Ulf W. Gedde; Mikael Hedenqvist; Lars Kloo; Ulrica Edlund; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Crystallisation; Polycaprolactone; PCL; Confined state crystallisation; Metastable Phases; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : In this work, an in-depth analysis of crystalline characteristics has been performed for a unique set of strictly monodisperse poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) oligomers. The molecules have different sets of end groups with various degrees of bulkiness and hydrogen bonding potential, affecting their aptitude to pack in ordered crystal structures. READ MORE

  6. 14. Polymer extraction and utilization of brown algal biomass

    Author : Martin Sterner; Ulrica Edlund; Fredrik Gröndahl; Marguerite Rinaudo; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Algae; Saccharina latissima; alginate; brown seaweed; extraction; filament; chelation; gel; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Aquaculture is a field with a world changing potential. The areas at sea are enormous and aquatic cultivations impact both the environment and local ecology far less than land based cultivations. In the realm of algae, abundancies exists of nutrition, water and accessible sunlight, but there is constant shortage of places to dwell. READ MORE

  7. 15. Biopolymers and materials from rapeseed straw biorefining

    Author : Antonia Svärd; Ulrica Edlund; Elisabet Brännvall; Stefan Willför; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rapeseed canola straw; biorefinery; hemicelluloses; lignin; cellulose; cellulose nanoparticles; films; grafting; thermoplastic; biocomposites; rapshalm; bioraffinaderi; hemicellulosa; lignin; cellulosa; cellulosa nano partiklar; hemicellulosafilm; ympning; termoplastisk; biokompositer; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Rapeseed straw was fractionated through a hydrothermal process into its hemicellulose, lignin and cellulose components. In the first step, hemicellulose-rich fractions were extracted. Xylan-rich fractions with high molecular weight, 30,000 – 50,000 g/mol, were obtained at 110 °C and 1.5 M NaOH. READ MORE
