2. 1. Transcalar Design : biological principles in architecture through computational design and additive fabrication

   Author : Ana Goidea; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; architecture; additive manufacturing 3D printing ; additive manufacturing; biotechnology; Biofabrication; biodesign; generative design;

   Abstract : Architecture is currently facing a period of transformational change which is driven by an increasing awareness of sustainability imperatives combined with technological advancements in the form of digitalisation of design and fabrication processes. These issues both introduce new layers of complexity and necessitate strategies to navigate them. READ MORE

4. 2. Differential geometry and structural action of vaults and shells

   Author : Emil Adiels; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Masonry vaults and bridges, concrete shells, and steel and timber grid shells are all examples of shell structures. Their beauty, spatial qualities, structural efficiency and manufacturing are closely tied to their geometry. READ MORE

5. 3. Recycling Potential and Design for Disassembly in Buildings

   Author : Catarina Thormark; Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; []

   Abstract : Recycling as part of environmental considerations has become a common feature in architecture and building construction. Recycling of building waste can make a considerable contribution to reducing the total environmental impact of the building sector. READ MORE

6. 4. Colors of Life and Optoelectronics: Zinc Porphyrins for Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells and Organic Photodetectors

   Author : Mariza Mone; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; near-infrared; porphyrins; light emitting electrochemical cell; photomultiplication; optoelectronics; aggregation;

   Abstract : The field of organic optoelectronics constitutes an interdisciplinary field that covers chemistry, physics, materials science and biology. The technological promises of the organic materials over their inorganic counterparts include a lower production cost and the feasibility to be processed through solution-based techniques on large-area and/or flexible substrates.

7. 5. Polyelectrolyte complexes of bottle brush copolymers : Solution and adsorption properties

   Author : Shovsky Alexander; Per M. Claesson; Tommy Nylander; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis work was to systematically investigate the physico-chemical properties of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) formed by bottle brush and linear polyelectrolytes in solution and at solid / liquid interfaces. Electrostatic self-assembly of oppositely charged macromolecules in aqueous solution is a versatile strategy to construction of functional nanostructures with easily controlled properties. READ MORE
