  2. 1. District Heating for Residential Areas with Single-Family Housing -with Special Emphasis on Domestic Hot Water Comfort

    Author : Tommy Persson; Energihushållning; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; low heat density; District heating; single-family housing; domestic hot water comfort; domestic hot water control; heat losses; supply temperature; thermostatic valves; Energiforskning; Energy research; marketing strategies; market penetration;

    Abstract : The concept of district heating (DH) involves centralised heat production where heat is distributed to consumers via a piping network. It is essential that benefits achieved from concentrated, large-scale production instead of local production in each building exceed the costs associated with heat distribution. READ MORE

  4. 2. Thermal Conductivity of Hygroscopic Foams Based on Cellulose Nanomaterials

    Author : Varvara Apostolopoulou-Kalkavoura; Lennart Bergström; Tatiana Budtova; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; thermal conductivity; cellulose nanomaterials; foams; hygroscopic; super-insulating; phonon scattering; moisture uptake; heat transport; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Abstract : Biobased super-insulating materials could mitigate climate change by minimizing the use of petroleum-based materials, creating artificial carbon sinks and minimizing the energy needed to maintain pleasant interior conditions. Cellulose nanomaterials (CNM) produced from abundantly available cellulose sources constitute versatile, highly anisotropic raw materials with tunable surface chemistry and high strength. READ MORE

  5. 3. Design, processing and properties of lightweight foams from cellulose nanofibers

    Author : Korneliya Gordeyeva; Lennart Bergström; Nathalie Lavoine; Monica Österberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cellulose nanofibers; lightweight foams; hybrid; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Abstract : Foams are applied in many areas including thermal insulation of buildings, flotation devices, packaging, filters for water purification, CO2 sorbents and for biomedical devices. Today, the market is dominated by foams produced from synthetic, non-renewable polymers, which raises serious concerns for the sustainable and ecological development of our society. READ MORE
