Cross-linking oxidized cellulose nanofibrils for the formation of stable hydrogel structures
Pettersen, Sigurd Rolland (Master thesis, 2013)The main goal of this project was to investigate whether the elastic properties of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) suspensions pre-treated by TEMPO-mediated oxidation could be controlled by inducing cross-links between ... -
The Effect of Cellulose Nanofibres on Dewatering during Wet-Forming and the Mechanical Properties of Thermoformed Specimens Made of Thermomechanical and Kraft Pulps
Jacobsen, Eirik Ulsaker; Følkner, Simen Prang; Blindheim, Jørgen; Molteberg, Dag Einar; Steinert, Martin; Chinga Carrasco, Gary (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Due to environmental concerns regarding single-use plastic materials, major efforts are being made to develop new material concepts based on biodegradable and renewable resources, e.g., wood pulp. In this study, we assessed ... -
Sustainable fibre materials for replacing plastics in 3D-forming applications
Jacobsen, Eirik Ulsaker (Master thesis, 2017)Plastic is a very broad family of materials that may provide a wide array of mechanical properties depending on the plastic or production method in question. This is why many industries have chosen plastic as their material ... -
Tailoring Biocomposites with Reduced Water Uptake for 3D Printing
Holmen, Solveig (Master thesis, 2017)In this study, two different grades of bioPE, with a varying melt flow index (MFI) were tested for making biocomposites reinforced with wood fibre. A low MFI was found to be more adequate for the manufacturing. Filaments ...
