16. Nitride Thin Films for Thermoelectric Applications : Synthesis, Characterization and Theoretical Predictions
Abstract : Thermoelectrics is the reversible process which transforms a temperature gradient across a material into an external voltage through a phenomenon known as the Seebeck effect. This has resulted in niche applications such as solid-state cooling for electronic and optoelectronic devices which exclude the need for a coolant or any moving parts and long-lasting, maintenance-free radioisotope thermoelectric generators used for deep-space exploration.

17. Nitrogen and Water in High Temperature Corrosion - Insights from First Principle Calculations
Abstract : Service life-time of alloys used in high temperature applications is often limited by corrosion. FeCrAl(Re) alloys are partially designed to form a protective α-alumina oxide scale at elevated temperatures in order to mitigate further oxidation. READ MORE

18. Computer Simulations of Polymer Gels : Structure, Dynamics, and Deformation
Abstract : This thesis presents the results of computer simulation studies of the structure, dynamics, and deformation of cross-linked polymer gels. Obtaining a fundamental understanding of the interrelation between the detailed structure and the properties of polymer gels is a challenge and a key issue towards designing materials for specific purposes.

19. Materials and Coatings for Superheater Tubes in Biomass- and Waste-fired Boilers
Abstract : Combustion of biomass and waste fuels has strong potential as an alternative renewable energy source for meeting the increasing global energy demand, while reducing the net release of CO2 into the atmosphere. The combustion of biomass and waste releases flue gases that contain high amount of alkali salts and water vapour, which drive the corrosion of metallic boiler components. READ MORE

20. Electrocatalyst materials for low-temperature hydrogen fuel cells
Abstract : Fuel cells have emerged as one alternative to satisfy the need of energy systems with net-zero emissions. Although fuel cells date back to the 1800s, it is only during the last decades that their research has boosted to ease their commercialization. READ MORE
