  2. 1. Biobased carbon fibers from solution spun lignocellulosic precursors

    Author : Andreas Bengtsson; Monica Ek; Maria Sedin; Elisabet Brännvall; Elisabeth Sjöholm; Johannes Ganster; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbon fiber; Carbonization; Cellulose; Kraft pulp; Softwood kraft lignin; Solution spinning; Stabilization; Barrvedslignin; Cellulosa; Karbonisering; Kolfiber; Lösningsmedelsspinning; Stabilisering; Sulfatmassa; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Carbon fibers (CFs) have excellent mechanical properties and a low density, making themattractive as a reinforcing fiber in composites. The use of CFs is limited to high-end applications,since they are produced from an expensive fossil-based precursor via an energy-intensivemanufacturing process, explaining the need for cheaper CFs from renewables.

  4. 2. Cellulose–Assisted Dispersion of Carbon Nanotubes : From Colloids to Composites

    Author : Alireza Hajian; Lars Berglund; Milo Shaffer; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nanocelluloses; Carbon nanotubes; Composites; Colloids; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : It is a challenge to disperse nanoparticles to obtain a nanostructured composite. This thesis aims at providing a new route to fabricate carbon nanotube (CNT) composites and suggests mechanisms for nanocellulose–CNT interactions. This route is based on unmodified CNT dispersed in water with the help of nanocellulose. READ MORE

  5. 3. Lignocellulose Biocomposites– A Comparison of Wood Fibers and Microfibrillated Lignocellulose

    Author : Erfan Oliaei; Lars Berglund; Tom S. C. Lindström; Fredrik Berthold; ‪Maria Soledad Peresin; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : All-lignocellulose composites, meaning densified fiber or fibril materials without added binder, show interesting mechanical properties and can be eco-friendly. Composites based on hot-pressed microfibrillated lignocellulose (MFLC) and lignocellulosic wood fiber (WF) reinforcements are compared with respect to processing, structure, mechanical properties, and eco-indicators.

    Abstract : Modern demand for consumer electronics is fueling the generation of 'E-waste.' Furthermore, theraw materials and manufacturing methods used in the fabrication of electronics are not sustainable. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cellulosic Thermal Insulation with Improved Water Resistance and Fire Retardancy

    Author : Chao Zheng; Monica Ek; Dongfang Li; Lennart Salmén; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Bio-based; Cellulosic; Fire retardant; Thermal insulation; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Sweden is one of the largest countries by area in Europe, and almost 70% of it is covered by forest. These abundant forest resources benefit the Swedish bioeconomy, but the pulp and paper industry is facing the challenge of a decrease in the demand for printing paper due to a significant shift to electronic media; therefore, it is a priority to use pulp to produce alternative value-added products, such as thermal insulating materials in buildings.
