  2. 1. Microsphere-based modeling of electro-active polymers

    Author : Sara Thylander; Hållfasthetslära; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Elektroaktiva polymerers (EAPs) främsta egenskap är deras förmåga att kunna omvandla elektrisk energi till mekanisk energi (och vice versa). Den typ av EAPs som behandlas inom ramen för detta arbete kallas för dielektriska elastomerer och är en undergrupp av elektroniska elektroaktiva polymerer. READ MORE

  4. 2. Engineering and Functionalization of Hemicellulose Hydrogels

    Abstract : Hemicellulose is the second most abundant component in wood and is an important renewable resource  that is used in films, paper composites and biofuels.  Hemicelluloses  have  several  advantages,  including  their abundance,  degradability  and  renewability. READ MORE

  5. 3. Conjugated Polymer-based Conductive Fibers for Smart Textile Applications

    Author : Tariq Bashir; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electro-active fibers; poly 3; 4-ethylenedioxythiophene PEDOT ; viscose; polyester; chemical vapor deposition CVD process; electrical characterizations; smart textiles; stretch sensor; Organic Electronics; Smart Textiles; textile yarns; Textiles and Fashion General ; Textil och mode generell ;

    Abstract : Electrically conductive or electro-active fibers are the key components of smart and interactive textiles, which could be used in medical, sports, energy, and military applications in the near future. The functionalization of high-performance textile yarns/fibers with conjugated polymers can produce conductive fibers with better electro-mechanical properties, which is difficult with commonly used spinning techniques.

  6. 4. Microbial Fuel cells, applications and biofilm characterization

    Author : Adolf Krige; Paul Christakopoulos; Sebastià Puig; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MFC; Microbial fuel cell; Raman microscopy; BES; Geobacter sulfurreducens; Biokemisk processteknik; Biochemical Process Engineering;

    Abstract : Since the 1900’s it has been known that microorganisms are capable of generating electrical power through extracellular electron transfer by converting the energy found organic compounds (Potter, 1911). Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has garnered more attention recently, and have shown promise in several applications, including wastewater treatment (Yakar et al. READ MORE

  7. 5. Characterization of a Voltammetric Electronic Tongue

    Author : John Olsson; Fredrik Winquis; Tautgirdas Ruzgas; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Electronic tongues were developed some ten years ago. These systems consist of an array of nonspecific sensors and a signal processing unit. The sensor signals are processed by pattern recognition methods which makes possible the extraction of specific properties from the sample. READ MORE
