• Characterization of Flooring Composites 

      Vatn, Kathrine Eriksen (Master thesis, 2017)
      The possibility of reinforcing high-pressure laminates with particles of yttria-stabilized zirconia has been investigated. The particles were embedded in a matrix of melamine formaldehyde resin, and several parameters, ...
    • Improvement of surface properties of high pressure laminates 

      Rusu, Caterina Lesaint (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:59, Doctoral thesis, 2018)
      Laminated flooring is an important part of the decorative laminates market. High pressure laminates in particular are preferred products for flooring due to their outstanding properties such as fire and stain resistance, ...
    • The Potential of Functionalized Ceramic Particles in Coatings for Improved Scratch Resistance 

      Rusu, Caterina Lesaint; Brodin, Malin; Hausvik, Tor Inge; Hindersland, Leif Kåre; Chinga-Carrasco, Gary; Einarsrud, Mari-Ann; Lein, Hilde Lea (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The top layer of a typical high pressure floor laminate (HPL) consists of a melamine formaldehyde (MF) impregnated special wear layer (overlay) with alumina particles. This top layer plays a crucial role in determining the ...
