Construction of Nanocellulose Microcapsules for Research and Sensor Applications
(Master thesis, 2018)Nanocellulose microcapsules with internal hollows have previously been found to form when cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are added to paper pulp before drying. In an effort to study such capsules removed from the paper matrix, ... -
Development of Structural Characterization Methods for Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)/Nanocellulose Composite Membranes
(Master thesis, 2016)Structural characterization of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/nanocellulose films by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) generally only provides an qualitative estimate of how well the nanocellulose is distributed, and is not ... -
FIB/SEM Characterization of Paper Materials
(Master thesis, 2016)3D microscopy is of interest for structural characterization of paper materials to study the use of cellulose nanofibrils as a paper additive. Focused ion beam (FIB) tomography is a promising microscopy technique for this ... -
Investigations of Pd3Au(100) as a catalytic model system
(Master thesis, 2018)Catalysts are defined as materials that lowers the activation energy of a reaction, without being consumed. In heterogeneous catalysis they are commonly transitions metals which have been refined to small particles using ... -
Organic Electrolytes for Thermoelectric Devices and CNT Electrode functionalization by Nitrogen-doping
(Master thesis, 2012)In this thesis a thermoelectric cell is developed. Aligned Carbon Nanotubes and aligned Nitrogen-doped Carbon Nanotubes are used as electrode materials. Ferri/Ferrocyanide and Tetrabutylammonium Nitrate (TBAN) electrolytes have ... -
Porous filters of nanofibrillated cellulose
(Master thesis, 2011)Filters for air purification are predominantly produced of synthetic and non-biodegradable materials. In this work, a range of various air filters have been prepared from 100% pure cellulosic material, with the goal to ...
