2. 1. On the Electrolyte Induced Aggregation of Concentrated Silica Dispersions - An Experimental Investigation Using the Electrospray Technique

   Author : Ann-Catrin J. H. Johnsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Colloidal silica dispersion; aggregation; gelation; electrospray ES ; scanning mobility particle sizer SMPS ; synchrotron radiation small-angle x-ray scattering SR-SAXS ; electron microscopy EM ; dynamic light scattering DLS ; particle morphology; ion specificity; gel layer;

   Abstract : Gels are weak, solid-like structures that arise when colloidal particles aggregate to form a network of particle clusters. A variety of colloidal systems that are important scientifically as well as in industrial applications are capable of gel formation, e.g. globular protein solutions, colloid-polymer mixtures, and metal oxides.

4. 2. Micro-by-micro interactions : Aggregation dynamics, biofilms, and ecotoxicological impacts of suspended solids

   Author : Sophia Reichelt; Elena Gorokhova; Rehab El Shehawy; Julien Gigault; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; suspended solids; microplastics; bacteria; biofilm; aggregation; ecotoxicology; microalgae; Environmental Sciences; miljövetenskap;

   Abstract : Increasing concerns arise regarding the environmental risk of microplastics (MP) and their interactions with biota, prompting numerous effect studies. However, current ecotoxicology methods fall short when it comes to assessing MP impacts. READ MORE

5. 3. Numerical modeling of air-fiber flows

   Author : Jelena Andric; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aggregation; particle-level simulation; rheology; fiber; dry-forming; fiber suspension;

   Abstract : The dynamics of fiber suspensions are of great importance in applications such as the dry-forming process of pulp mats for use in hygiene products. In this forming process, fibers are transported in flowing air. The fibers interact with the fluid, and may interact with each other and interlock in flocs. READ MORE

6. 4. Bimodal Hard/Soft Latex Blends

   Author : Daniela Vidovska; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biopolymers; Polymerteknik; Polymer technology; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi; Chemical technology and engineering; aggregation; mechanical modeling; latex blends; viscoelastic properties;

   Abstract : Polymer dispersions are employed in a wide variety of applications as film formers. Especially in the coating-, paint-, pharmaceutical and hygiene industry polymer dispersions are to a large extent used as barriers, controlled-release agents and adhesives. READ MORE

7. 5. Microstructure and liquid mass transport control in nanocomposite materials

   Author : Christoffer Abrahamsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; magnetic alignment; permeability; colloidal gels; microgels; bond water; clay; flow; microstructure; nanocomposites; poly N-isopropylacrylamide ; porous materials; liquid mass transport; diffusion; diffusion NMR; particle aggregation; phase behavior; silica;

   Abstract : Some of the biggest problems currently facing the world are closely tied to unsolved technological challenges in the material sciences. Many materials have a porous microstructure that controls their overall properties. READ MORE
