2. 1. Micromechanical Behavior of Fiber Networks

   Author : Svetlana Borodulina; Mikael Nygårds; Artem Kulachenko; Susanne Heyden; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Network simulation; Mechanical properties; Fibers; Bonds; Paper properties; Damage; Microfibril angle; Torsion;

   Abstract : Paper is used in a wide range of applications, each of which has specific requirements on mechanical and surface properties. The role of paper strength on paper performance is still not well understood. This work addresses the mechanical properties of paper by utilizing fiber network simulation and consists of two parts.

4. 2. Micromechanical Modelling of Wood and Fibre Properties

   Author : Kent Persson; Byggnadsmekanik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environmental technology; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; Microfibril angle; Density; Hygroexpansion; Stiffness; Simulation; Wood; Fibre; pollution control; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; Material technology; Materiallära; materialteknik;

   Abstract : Wood is a material with mechanical properties that vary markedly, both within a tree and among trees. Moisture changes lead to shrinkage or swelling and modify the mechanical properties. READ MORE

5. 3. Understanding and manipulating primary cell walls in plant cell suspension cultures

   Author : Felicia Leijon; Vincent Bulone; Katja Salomon Johansen; KTH; []
   Keywords : Callose synthase; carbohydrate-binding module; cell wall engineering; cellulose microfibril; cellulose nanocrystal; glycosyltransferase; mass spectrometry; plasmodesmata; Populus; primary cell wall; radiometric assay; spectrophotometric assay; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

   Abstract : The cell wall is required for many aspects of plant function and development. It is also an accessible and renewable resource utilized both in unrefined forms and as raw material for further development. Increased knowledge regarding cell wall structure and components will contribute to better utilization of plants and the resources they provide. READ MORE

6. 4. Hygroelastic behaviour of wood-fibre based materials on the composite, fibre and ultrastructural level

   Author : Razvan Cristian Neagu; Kristofer Gamstedt; Staffan Toll; KTH; []
   Keywords : wood fibres; ultrastructure; structure-property relations; microfibril angle; composites; characterization methods; hygroelastic properties; micromechanics; modelling; reinforcement potential; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Wood fibres can be used as reinforcement in plastics for load carrying purposes. Some advantages compared with conventional man-made fibres are that wood fibres come from a renewable resource, have high specific stiffness and strength, are generally less hazardous to health, biodegradable, and can be manufactured at low cost and high volumes.

7. 5. Mechanical behaviour of hardwoods : effects from cellular and cell wall structures

   Author : Ingela Bjurhager; Lars Berglund; Ingo Burgert; Magnus Wålinder; KTH; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Wood fibre and forest products; Träfiber- och virkeslära;

   Abstract : Syftet med den här avhandlingen var att undersöka mekaniska egenskaper hos olika arter av lövträd, och koppla egenskaperna till cell- och cellväggsstrukturen i materialet. Arterna som omfattades av undersökningen var Europeisk asp (Populus tremula), hybridasp (Populus tremula x Populus tremuloides) och ek (Quercus robur). READ MORE
