  2. 21. Carbon nanotubes and graphene polymer composites for opto-electronic applications

    Author : Nicolas Boulanger; David Barbero; Christian Müller; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbon nanotubes; polythiophene; electrical conductivity; crystallography; graphene; nanoimprint lithography; synchrotron diffraction; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Carbon nanotubes are carbon based structures with outstanding electronical and mechanical properties. They are used in a wide range of applications, usually embedded in polymer in the form of composites, in order to affect the electronic behavior of the matrix material. READ MORE

  4. 22. Polymer Nanocomposites in Thin Film Applications

    Author : Linda Fogelström; Anders Hult; José M. Kenny; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nanocomposites; hyperbranched polymers; montmorillonite; clay nanoparticles; exfoliated; coatings; crosslinking; TEM; XRD; mechanical properties; thermal properties; cellulose nanofibers; Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization; Ring-Opening Polymerization; poly ε-caprolactone ; surface modification; grafting; interfacial adhesion; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : The introduction of a nanoscopic reinforcing phase to a polymer matrix offers great possibilities of obtaining improved properties, enabling applications outside the boundaries of traditional composites. The majority of the work in this thesis has been devoted to polymer/clay nanocomposites in coating applications, using the hydroxyl-functional hyperbranched polyester Boltorn® as matrix and montmorillonite clay as nanofiller.

  5. 23. On the engineering of proteins: methods and applications for carbohydrate-active enzymes

    Author : Fredrika Gullfot; Harry Brumer; Antoni Planas; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; enzyme engineering; rational design; directed evolution; DNA shuffling; glycosynthase; xyloglucan; xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase; retaining glycoside hydrolase; xyloglucanase; carbohydrate binding module; polysaccharide synthesis; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the application of different protein engineering methods on enzymes and non-catalytic proteins that act upon xyloglucans. Xyloglucans are polysaccharides found as storage polymers in seeds and tubers, and as cross-linking glucans in the cell wall of plants. READ MORE

  6. 24. Studies of Morphology and Charge-Transfer in Bulk-Heterojunction Polymer Solar Cells

    Author : Zaifei Ma; Fengling Zhang; Olle Inganäs; Ludvig Edman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis focuses on the two critical issues of bulk-heterojunction polymer solar cells: morphology of active layers and energy loss during charge transfer process at electron donor/acceptor interfaces. Both issues determine the performance of polymer solar cells through governing exciton dissociation, charge carrier recombination and free charge carrier transport. READ MORE

  7. 25. Preparation and characterization of perovskite structure lanthanum gallate and lanthanum aluminate based oxides

    Author : Shuai Li; Bill Bergman; Mogens Mogensen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lanthanum gallate; lanthanum aluminate; ceria; composite; solid oxide fuel cell; electrolyte; polymer complexing.; Functional materials; Funktionella material;

    Abstract : The present work was initiated to study the synthesis and properties of lanthanum gallate based oxides as intermediate temperature electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cells. The wet chemical method, polymer complexing route, was used to prepare the precursor powders. READ MORE
