Rheological characterization of creams and prediction of stability

- Kan man förutse en kräms hållbarhetstid utifrån dess tjocklek? I detta examensarbete har de reologiska- och texturegenskaper undersökts hos två typer av krämer, en med Cetostearylalkohol som förtjockare, och en med ett mer naturligare alternativ som Xanthan Gum, samtidigt som stabiliteten hos dessa två krämer har undersökts under längre tidsperiod. Att utveckla nya läkemedel är en tidskrävandeThe aim of this project was to develop analytical methods for characterizing rheological behavior of creams. The rheological methods of shear ramp, thixotropy, amplitude sweep, and frequency sweep, as well as texture analysis were initially developed at LTH and later transferred to Galenica. For this project two series of emulsions were formulated and used as test subjects for these methods. One u

Klimatberäkning av Pålsjö Äng - En jämförelse mellan beräkningsmetoder

Miljö- och klimatpåverkan är idag centralt inom byggbranschen. För att uppnå de globala och nationella mål som existerar krävs fler åtgärder för att minska byggsektorns klimatpåverkan. Byggsektorn står idag för cirka 21 % av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. Klimatberäkningar är ett sätt att uppmärksamma aktörer på den klimatpåverkan branschen utgör och öka motivationen till förändring. I dThe environmental and climate impact are today central within the building sector. To meet the global and national emission goals more actions need to be taken to reduce the impact of the building sector which is responsible for 21% of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Climate calculations are a great step in the right direction to draw attention to the impact a building has on the environm
