  2. 11. Light propagation and photonic functionalization of semi-ordered material (transparent wood)

    Author : Adil Baitenov; Sergei Popov; Sergey Ponomarenko; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; light scattering; scattering material; hierarchical structure; FEM model; wood modification; random lasers; dye lasers; transparent wood; adsorption; diffusive media; Optics and Photonics; Optik och fotonik;

    Abstract : Investigating novel materials requires understanding their chemical and optical properties, which allows for finding their uses through functionalization by chemical modification. In this thesis, we are focusing on a material with high anisotropic scattering - transparent wood. READ MORE

  4. 12. Effectiveness and Evaluation of Wood Protection against Biological Deterioration Caused by Filamentous Fungi

    Author : Olena Myronycheva; Olov Karlsson; Lone Ross; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Träteknik; Wood Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : Developing a holistic understanding of the biological deterioration of wooden material by fungi in the laboratory and outdoor conditions requires the development of new assessment procedures and tools that allow describing the process with maximum precision and accuracy. Environmental biodeterioration is a complex process including a combination of physical, chemical and biological changes, with many uncertainties limiting the predictability and effectiveness of selected preservatives after laboratory tests.

  5. 13. Wood Plastic Composites made from Modified Wood : Aspects on Moisture Sorption, Micromorphology and Durability

    Author : Kristoffer Segerholm; Ove Söderström; Magnus Wålinder; Mats Westin; Pia Larsson Brelid; Per Johan Gustafsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Wood plastic composites; WPC; acetylation; heat treatment; furfurylation; moisture sorption; micromorphology; decay; UV laser; soil test; Biomaterials; Biomaterial;

    Abstract : Wood plastic composite (WPC) materials have seen a continuous market growth worldwide in the last decade. So-called extruded WPC profiles are today mainly used in outdoor applications, e.g. decking, railing and fencing. READ MORE

  6. 14. Biosynthesis, interactions, and structure of native lignin

    Author : Ioanna Sapouna; Lauren S. McKee; Francisco Vilaplana; Claudia Crestini; KTH; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; lignin; biomass valorization; extraction; tissue culture; lignin nanoparticles; wood aerogels; lignin; biomassavalorisering; extraktion; vävnadsodling; lignin nanopartiklar; trä aerogeler; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Wood biomass is an important resource in the development ofstrategies towards replacement of fossil-based materials. Woodcomprises cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin, in amounts thatvary between species. READ MORE

  7. 15. Modification of fluff pulp fibres: Cross-linking and alkali extraction

    Author : Kristoffer Lund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fibre network; dry defibration; network strength; fluff pulp; Absorption; cross-linking; alkali extraction; kraft pulp;

    Abstract : Fluff pulp has been one of the key components of hygienic products, such as diapers, for many years. Fluff pulp is dry defibrated and air-laid into the absorption core of diapers. The introduction of superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) in the 1980s decreased the dependence on fluff pulp, as the SAPs became the main absorbing material. READ MORE
