  2. 1. Thin water and ice films on minerals : a molecular level study

    Author : Merve Yeşilbaş; Jean-François Boily; Johannes Messinger; Grégory Lefèvre; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water; ice; cryosalt; minerals; rocks; atmosphere; Dynamic Vapour Sorption; FTIR; cryo-FESEM; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Minerals in Earth’s crust and suspended in the atmosphere form water or ice films as thin as a few nanometers to as thick as a few micrometers, and beyond. Mineral-bound water and ice films in terrestrial systems (e.g. READ MORE

  4. 2. Hydration, pore structure, and related moisture properties of fly ash blended cement-based materials : Experimental methods and laboratory measurements

    Author : Oskar Linderoth; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cement; Murbruk; Betong; Hydratation; Porstruktur; Sorption; Fukttransport; Mineraliska tillsatsmaterial; Flygaska; Cement; Mortar; Concrete; Hydration; Pore structure; Water vapour sorption; Moisture transport; Supplementary cementitious materials; Fly ash;

    Abstract : Cement-based materials, such as mortar and concrete, are the most employed construction materials in the world. Cement is an important component; it reacts with water to form a glue, called cement paste, which causes the material to harden. Today, cement production accounts for a significant portion of the world’s annual carbon dioxide emissions. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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

  6. 4. Characterisation of thermally modified wood for use as component in biobased building materials

    Author : Susanna Källbom; Magnus Wålinder; Dennis Jones; Kristiina Lillqvist; Kristoffer Segerholm; Marko Petrič; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Thermally modified wood TMW components; surface properties; inverse gas chromatography IGC ; water sorption; dynamic vapour sorption DVS ; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

    Abstract : The building sector shows growing interest in biobased building materials. Wood components, here defined as ground or milled wood, i.e. by-products (residuals/residues) from wood processing, such as sawdust or shavings, are valuable raw materials for new types of durable biocomposites suitable for outdoor building applications.

  7. 5. Development of Novel In Situ ESEM Techniques for the Study of Water Interaction with Soft Materials

    Author : Anna Jansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; environmental scanning electron microscopy; cellulose fibre; water transport; swelling; osmotic shock; yeast cell; in situ; manipulator; water interaction;

    Abstract : The transport of water is central to many applications of soft biomaterials; for example water management in personal care products, controlled drug release in pharmaceuticals and, on a fundamental level, the activities of living cells. Water transport through a material may occur in both liquid and gas phase, and is highly dependent on the microstructure. READ MORE
