    Sammanfattning : Plastic recycling is a very relevant topic from both environmental and economic viewpoints. Chemical plastic recycling is a logical solution to the plastic problems, which shows the potential to reduce plastic waste and carbon emissions from burning the 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. Development of chitosan nanocomposite coatings for visible-light photocatalytic antiviral applications

    Sammanfattning : During the global pandemic of coronavirus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, the world was desperately searching for simpler yet more effective solutions to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). Since no one was prepared for the fast spread of such a contagious virus, there was a shortage of proper protective solutions to stop the spread. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Lignin in Cosmetics: State of the Art : Discerning the value of lignin in the cosmetic industry

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Industriell teknik; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Författare :Nellie Henriksson; Klas Nordell; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Lignin; Cosmetics; Personal care; Innovation; Cosmetic industry; Functional materials. Biotechnology; functional materials; green chemistry; Lignin; kosmetik; kosmetikaindustrin; Bioteknik; Nanomaterial; SPF; UV;

    Sammanfattning : This study was carried out at the Department of Nanotechnology and Functional Materials,Uppsala University, one of several places where the interest of lignin in cosmetics is constantly growing. The functionalities of lignin have been studied to a great extent revealing its potential as a natural biopolymer to serve as a replacement for environmentally hazardous components in cosmetic formulations, namely UV-filters in sunscreens.
