The diploma thesis focuses on the optimization of technological parameters of plastic injection molding and the study of the influence of technological parameters on the quality of molded test specimens’ type 1A. The quality of molded parts for 3 types of polypropylene (PP) with different melt flow rate (Mosten GB 002, Mosten GB 218, Mosten MA 230) and 1 type of polystyrene (PS) (Krasten PS GP 154) was evaluated in terms of dimensional stability and weight. The contribution of software for modeling the plastic injection molding process was evaluated in this work. SOLIDWORKS Plastics software was used to optimize technological parameters. The construction of the bodies, mold and cooling system was constructed, and test bodies were produced on the basis of parameters obtained from the simulation of the injection molding process. Their quality parameters were compared with a 3D model and for each of the studied materials the optimal technological parameters were selected in terms of quality and the degree of influence of individual injection parameters on the quality of moldings was evaluated. The accordance of the results of the theoretical simulation with the real experiment was proved and a computational module independent of the optimized quality parameters, generally suitable for optimizing the quality parameters of the injected parts, was developed.

The master´s thesis analyzes influence of direct and reflected solar radiation to heat strain and degradation of thermal insulation in the flat roof construction. In many building was a problem in a significant degradation of thermal insulation made from expanded polystyrene in the vicinity of glass surfaces. To determine the causes of this problem, it was necessary to study and test the properties of building materials and the physical nature of the effect of solar radiation on the building structure. In the introductory section lists the cases of buildings with degradation of thermal insulation and existing knowledge on this issue. The theoretical part describes the technical properties of thermal insulating materials used in the flat roof construction, nature and division of solar radiation, optical laws of light reflection and physical theory to explain the technical thermal behavior of building materials and structures. The last part describes a practical model and analyzing measured data in thermal stress in the flat roof construction. The practical part also determines the importance of different influences configuration structures using to dynamic simulations. At the end of the practical part they are validated theoretical knowledge obtained by analyzing data from a practical model.

Microplastics take hundreds to thousands of years to degrade in nature, and pose a threat to the environment. A photocatalytical degradation method have been developed to take advantage of solar light to degrade microplastics, however it takes several months to degrade microplastics with the process. The purpose of this study is to enhance the degradation rate of microplastics by synthesizing a material where photocatalysis is combined with Fenton reaction. A material with zinc oxide nanorods coated with tin oxide and decorated with iron particles (𝑍𝑛𝑂/𝑆𝑛𝑂2/𝐹𝑒0) was synthesized and used to degrade methylene blue, polystyrene and polypropylene. The result show that the degradation rate with a 𝑍𝑛𝑂/𝑆𝑛𝑂2/𝐹𝑒0 – sample is faster than with a 𝑍𝑛𝑂 – sample, and that it can be used to degrade polystyrene and polypropylene.Students’ view on researchers can affect the development of their interest and attitude towards science. Study visits to laboratories have been used to increase students’ interest and give them new experiences. The purpose of this study is to investigate what and how high school students learn during a study visit to a nanotechnology laboratory, and how the study visit affects high school students’ interest and motivation for research and learning. A study visit with 5 stations was organized, and students were given a questionnaire about what they learned during the study visit. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the students’ answers. The result shows that the study visit increased students’ interest in research, and the importance of designing stations so that they are connected to students’ previous knowledge and are within their proximal development zone. / Mikroplaster tar hundratals till tusentals år att bryta ner i naturen och utgör ett hot mot miljön. En fotokatalytisk nedbrytningsprocess har utvecklats där solljus utnyttjas för att bryta ner mikroplaster, dock tar det flera månader att bryta ner mikroplaster med den processen. Syftet med denna studie är att förbättra nedbrytningshastigheten av mikroplaster genom att syntetisera ett material där fotokatalys kombineras med Fenton-reaktion.

<p>Continuous monitoring of pathogens that may be present in water is one of the key preventive measures that can be used in rural areas of developed countries and developing countries to reduce chances of the water borne diseases outbreak. Off-site testing of microbiological contamination of water is conventionally done for monitoring water quality. However, such a process is time consuming and involves using a variety of hazardous reagents. To address these issues, a portable device for rapid detection of unsafe water is needed.</p> <p>One of the key components in this system is to extract DNA from the pathogens. The primary consideration for DNA extraction is to separate DNA from proteins and other cell debris in the lysate solution. The pure population of DNA molecules are then sent downstream for subsequent processing such as real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and BioFET sensors for further identification and analysis.</p> <p>The focus of the thesis will be on the fabrication of a microfluidic DNA extraction system that can achieve high DNA extraction efficiency and a good repeatability. It can also be easily automated, and integrated with other components of the DNA analysis system. The high surface-to-volume macro/mesoporous silica DNA binding column was synthesized using sol-gel silica technology and triblock copolymer F127 was added to form a crack-free mesoporous silica network. Furthermore, a monodispersed polystyrene microspheres soft-template was assembled using a simple but novel technique that employs controlled suction to enhance self-assembly into a periodically patterned structure in the extraction chamber/chambers. In combination of heat annealing treatment of this assembled polystyrene template, one can easily control the size of the macropores in the final macro/mesoporous silica structure to allow a lower pressure resistance for DNA sample flow at elution stage. The final macro/mesoporous silica structure synthesized using heat annealing temperature of 115^oC for 10 minutes was determined to have a porosity of 83.6%. Mesopores of this silica monolith was determined by BET test to be 3.65 nm and the macroporous ranging from 0.5μm to 0.86μm were observed. In addition, the fabrication of porous silica monolith can be easily integrated with the microfluidic system for achieving DNA extraction purposes</p> / Master of Applied Science (MASc)
