2. 16. Biofilm adhesion on silicone materials

   Author : Sevil Atarijabarzadeh; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Silicone composite high voltage insulators are sometimes contaminated by microorganisms in outdoor applications, which results in the insulator becoming conductive and thereafter failure of the insulators. In this work, it has been tried to develop silicone materials with antimicrobial properties. READ MORE

4. 17. Novel Thermoplastic Material Concepts for High Voltage Cable Insulation - Engineering Immiscible Blends for a Sustainable Future

   Author : Yingwei Ouyang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; polypropylene; polymer blends; thermoplastic; copolymer; high-voltage power cable insulation; polyethylene;

   Abstract : To cope with our growing demand for energy in a sustainable way, efficient long-distance power transmission via high voltage direct current (HVDC) cables is crucial – these cables facilitate the integration of renewable energy into our power networks. For reliable and efficient power transmission, underground and undersea cables require robust insulation materials that possess a high level of mechanical integrity, a low direct-current (DC) electrical conductivity and a high thermal conductivity at the elevated temperatures experienced during cable operation.

7. 20. Engineered core : shell nanoparticles: synthesis, characterisation, and biocompatibility studies

   Author : Carmen Mihaela Vogt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have emerged as promising contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Some SPIONs are already approved for clinical use. Coating of these nanoparticles with an additional biocompatible layer serves to improve the colloidal stability and biocompatibility. READ MORE
