2. 1. Cellulose Nanofibril-based Hybrid Materials : Eco-friendly design towards separation and packaging applications

   Author : Luis Valencia; Aji Mathew; Olli Ikkala; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cellulose nanofibrils; hybrid materials; membranes; aerogels; separation; food packaging; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

   Abstract : Nanocellulose has been lately considered as the “Holy-Grail” in the design of sustainable materials due to its bio-origin and an unprecedented combination of prominent features, including good mechanical properties, anisotropy and versatile surface chemistry. In addition, nanocellulose in the form of cellulose nanofibrils, can adopt variable structures and morphologies depending on the processing technique, such as aerogels, films and monoliths.

   Abstract : Nanocellulosa, som kan utvinnas från skogsråvara, har de senaste åren fått mycket uppmärksamhet för sina intressanta egenskaper och breda användningsområde. Studierna i denna avhandling syftar till att vidga möjligheterna att använda nanocellulosa i olika applikationer. READ MORE

6. 4. Porous Cellulose Materials from Nano Fibrillated Cellulose

   Author : Nicholas Cervin; Lars Wågberg; Monica Ek; Charlotta Hanson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : In the first part of this work a novel type of low-density, sponge-like material for the separation of mixtures of oil and water has been prepared by vapour deposition of hydrophobic silanes on ultra-porous nanocellulose aerogels. To achieve this, a highly porous (> 99 %) nanocellulose aerogel with high structural flexibility and robustness is first formed by freeze-drying an aqueous dispersion of the nanocellulose. READ MORE
