  1. 6. Hydrolytic degradation of dental composites and effects of silane-treatment and filler fraction on compressive strength and thermal expansion of composites

    Author : Karl-Johan M. Söderholm; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Internal frictional theory; filler-matrix debonding; stress-corrosion; stressinfluenced diffusion; m icro-crack form ation; crazing; opacity; wear; osmotic pressure; hoop stresses;

    Abstract : Some researchers have suggested that the weakest link of dental composites is the filler-matrix bond. However, due to incompleteness of information dealing with this bond and its stability in a humid environment, it was considered desirable to investigate the effect of water on this region, as well as the influence of filler bonding and filler fraction on compressive strength and thermal expansionExperimental composites containing different filler fractions of either silane-treated or untreated fillers were made.

  2. 7. Pulsed Electric Field Treatment of Plant Tissue

    Author : Mustafa Fincan; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bimodal Fickian diffusion model; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; generalized Maxwell model; onion Neutral Red; visualization; red beetroot; potato; epidermis; plant tissue; electroporation; Cell permeabilization; Pulsed electric field; PEF;

    Abstract : A pulsed electric field (PEF) is a newly emerged non-thermal food processing technology which has characteristic effects on the cell membrane. PEF processing involves subjecting food to short, repeated pulses of a high electric field between an anode and a cathode. READ MORE

  3. 8. Influence of liquid diffusion on the performance of polymer materials in industrial applications

    Author : Stefanie Römhild; Mikael Hedenqvist; Lars Berglund; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LCP; Vectra A950; thermoset resin; FRP; diffusion; disclination; annealing; lining; bonding; long-term properties in water; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : Diffusion of liquids into and through polymers is an important factor that negatively may influence the durability or lifetime of a polymer structure used in industrial applications. In this work two types of polymers, a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP, Vectra A950) and various thermoset resins as used in fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) process equipment were studied with regard to barrier properties, chemical resistance and long-term performance.

  4. 9. Mathematical modeling of fluid and solute transport in peritoneal dialysis

    Author : Jacek Waniewski; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : diffusion; convective transport; perfusion; lymphatic absorption; ultrafiltration; osmosis; continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis;

    Abstract : Optimization of peritoneal dialysis schedule and dialysis fluid composition needs, among others, methods for quantitative assessment of fluid and solute transport. Furthermore, an integrative quantitative description of physiological processes within the tissue, which contribute to the net transfer of fluid and solutes, is necessary for interpretation of the data and for predictions of the outcome of possible intervention into the peritoneal transport system.

  5. 10. The temperature-limited fed-batch technique for control of Escherichia coli cultures

    Author : Marie Svensson; Sven-Olof Enfors; John Villadsen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Endotoxin; Escherichia coli; fed-batch technique; glucose-limitation; mathematical model; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : The objective of this study was to investigate the physiology and productivity in Escherichia colicultures with emphasis on the temperature-limited fed-batch (TLFB) culture. The TLFB techniquecontrols the oxygen consumption rate of the growing culture by a gradually declining temperaturefrom 37-35 °C down to 20-18 °C. READ MORE
