  1. 1. Evaluating the feasibility of chitosan as an adhesive for wood laminates and as a matrix for transparent wood

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Författare :Nihar Sakhadeo; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Transparent wood; Chitosan; Biobased adhesives; Biopolymers; Laminate; Transparent trä; Kitosan; Biobaserad adhesiv; Biopolymer; Laminat;

    Sammanfattning : En av grundpelarna i alla hållbara system är införandet av en cirkulär ekonomi, som främjar återanvändning och återvinning av material. Plast är en av i utmaning i detta avseende på grund av den stora produktionsvolymen variation i sorter och långsamma nedbrytn. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Recovery of Dialcohol Cellulose using Micro- and Ultrafiltration Processes

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Författare :Lina Näslund; Gabriella Petersson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Membrane filtration; Ultrafiltration; Microfiltration; Dialcohol cellulose; DAC; Bioplastics; Chemical engineering; Process design; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The waste management and production of plastic play a concerning part in global warming and continues to have a negative effect on the environment. A promising strategy to address this challenge is to develop new sustainable materials, to replace current fossil-based plastics. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Chemical modification of starch in order to get thermoplastic properties

    Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Författare :Emma Hallbert; Elsa Wadman; [2023]
    Nyckelord :thermoplastic starch; dialdehyde starch; schiff-base; imine chemistry; termoplastisk stärkelse; dialdehydstärkelse; schiffbas; iminkemi;

    Sammanfattning : There are numerous advantages of replacing traditional non-biodegradable synthetic plastics with bio-based plastics. Starch is globally available, cheap, renewable, and biodegradable. However, starch has a poor product performance and is relatively difficult to process, as conventional melt processing techniques cannot be used. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Incorporation of Plasticizers through Refining into Wood Pulp : A Potential Route For Bio-based Thermoplastic Materials

    Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Författare :Victor Eric Pierre Chartrain; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Cellulose; Paper; Plasticizer; Mechanical Refining; Cellulosa; Papper; Mjukgörare; mekanisk bearbetning;

    Sammanfattning : Fibers are interesting materials alternative to replace conventional fossil-based plastics, as they are bio-based and do not lead to CO2 emissions. Due to their limited ductility, it is difficult to use them to make complex three-dimensional shapes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. From Trash to Treasure : A Qualitative Study on Consumer Perception of Bio-based Plastics and the sspects that influence these perceptions

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Företagsekonomiska institutionen

    Författare :Ellinor Zakhour; Sheida Yousefnavaz; [2023]
    Nyckelord :consumer perception; theory of planned behavior; bio-based plastic; subjective norms; perceived behavioral control; knowledge; expectations; perceived benefit; consumer behavior;

    Sammanfattning : This research study aims to explore consumer ́s perception of bio-based plastic and to gain a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects including knowledge, expectations, perceived behavioral control and subjective norms that influence these perceptions. With increasing environmental concerns related to conventional plastics, there is a growing interest in sustainable alternatives. LÄS MER
