  2. 6. Food Packaging for Sustainable Development

    Author : Helén Williams; Fredrik Wikström; Ole Jørgen Hanssen; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Packaging; sustainable development; service perspective; food losses; food waste; consumer interaction; life cycle assessment - LCA; consumer value; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

    Abstract : Packaging has been on the environmental agenda for decades. It has been discussed and debated within the society mainly as an environmental problem. Production, distribution and consumption of food and drinks contribute significant to the environmental impact. However, consumers in the EU waste about 20% of the food they buy. READ MORE

  4. 7. Integration and Fabrication Techniques for 3D Micro- and Nanodevices

    Author : Andreas C. Fischer; Frank Niklaus; Karl F. Böhringer; KTH; []
    Keywords : Microelectromechanical systems; MEMS; Nanoelectromechanical systems; NEMS; silicon; wafer-level; chip-level; through silicon via; TSV; packaging; 3D packaging; vacuum packaging; liquid encapsulation; integration; heterogeneous integration; wafer bonding; microactuators; shape memory alloy; SMA; wire bonding; magnetic assembly; self-assembly; 3D; 3D printing; focused ion beam; FIB;

    Abstract : The development of micro and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS) with entirely new or improved functionalities is typically based on novel or improved designs, materials and fabrication methods. However, today’s micro- and nano-fabrication is restrained by manufacturing paradigms that have been established by the integrated circuit (IC) industry over the past few decades. READ MORE

  5. 8. Wafer-scale Vacuum and Liquid Packaging Concepts for an Optical Thin-film Gas Sensor

    Author : Mikael Antelius; Göran Stemme; Yogesh B. Gianchandani; KTH; []
    Keywords : Microelectromechanical systems; MEMS; Nanoelectromechanical systems; NEMS; silicon; wafer-level; packaging; vacuum packaging; liquid encapsulation; integration; wire bonding; grating coupler; waveguide; Fabry-Perot resonator;

    Abstract : This thesis treats the development of packaging and integration methods for the cost-efficient encapsulation and packaging of microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices. The packaging of MEMS devices is often more costly than the device itself, partly because the packaging can be crucial for the performance of the device. READ MORE

  6. 9. Evaluating the Swedish producer responsibility for packaging materials : policy design and outcome

    Author : Olle Hage; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : During the last decades the promotion of recycling of used packaging materials has become an integral part of environmental policy. In 1994, a producer responsibility ordinance was introduced for different packaging materials in Sweden. READ MORE

  7. 10. Novel RF MEMS Switch and Packaging Concepts

    Author : Joachim Oberhammer; KTH; []
    Keywords : 0-level packaging; adhesive bonding; BCB; benzocyclobutene; bond strength; contact printing; film actuator; glass lid encapsulation; glass lid packaging; helium leak test; hermetic packaging; hermeticity; high isolation switch; low stress silicon nitride; low volt; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Radio-frequency microelectromechanical systems (RF~MEMS) are highly miniaturized devices intended to switch, modulate, filter or tune electrical signals from DC to microwave frequencies. The micromachining techniques used to fabricate these components are based on the standard clean-room manufacturing processes for high-volume integrated semiconductor circuits. READ MORE
