  4. 2. Electrochromism in Metal Oxide Thin Films : Towards long-term durability and materials rejuvenation

    Author : Rui-Tao Wen; Claes-Göran Granqvist; Agustín R. González-Elipe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electrochromic; smart windows; long-term durability; degradation kinetics; ion trapping; de-trapping; materials rejuvenation; Engineering Science with specialization in Solid State Physics; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot fasta tillståndets fysik;

    Abstract : Electrochromic thin films can effectively regulate the visible and infrared light passing through a window, demonstrating great potential to save energy and offer a comfortable indoor environment in buildings. However, long-term durability is a big issue and the physics behind this is far from clear. READ MORE

  5. 3. Characterisation of a structural battery composite and its constituents

    Author : Shanghong Duan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []

    Abstract : The structural battery composite is a recently successfully developed multifunctional lithium-ion battery. It is safer and capable to carry mechanical load compared to commercially available liquid electrolyte batteries. READ MORE

  6. 4. Functional Fiber Based Materials for Microsystem Applications

    Author : Carl Zandén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the integration of functional electrospun micro- and nanofiber based materials in two fields of microsystem technology: fibrous scaffolds as cell culture substrates and fiber-reinforced metal matrix composites as thermal interface materials (TIMs).Electrospun structures have been found to carry great potential as biomimicking microenvironments for future tissue engineering and cell culture applications.

  7. 5. Degradation of thermo-elastic properties in damaged composite laminates : a theoretical study

    Author : Peter Lundmark; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polymera konstruktionsmaterial; Polymeric Composite Materials;

    Abstract : Fiber composites are today widely used in different load carrying structures. The main reason is their high stiffness and strength to weight ratio. Due to these specific properties they are frequently used in car, marine and space industry. READ MORE
