The mechanical properties of polystyrene/polyamide-6 (50/50 wt/wt) blends were improved by additions of small amounts of poly(styrene-g-ethylene oxide) (SEO) during compounding by extrusion. Tensile testing of injection-molded samples revealed that the blends developed a yield point after addition of 1 wt % SEO. The elongation at break increased by almost a factor of 6, and the impact strength inc

Biodiversity loss and the climate crisis are closely linked. A warmer climate impacts wildlife, entire ecosystems and people, while biodiversity loss exacerbates the effects of climate change. Innovative research can limit the negative effects of these intertwined crises. Researchers at Lund University are investigating the complex links between biodiversity loss and climate change. They are also

Long before the Bluetooth symbol started glowing blue ... ... and found its way into the pockets of people all over the world, there was a professor in Lund who refused to give up on a seemingly impossible idea: to replace the cable between mobile phones and headphones with a wireless link. And it was not just any link. It would work at a distance of ten metres, barely draw any power, take up hard

Technological innovations within the field of sustainable energy production require a substantial amount of capital investment in order to conduct research and development. Crowdsourcing represents an innovative and new approach to raising the capital investment needed for sustainable technological innovations in the sustainable energy sector and is inherently entrenched with Transition Theory.

I forskargruppen studerar vi val av kirurgisk metod vid primär bröstcancerkirurgi (LR), riskfaktorer för lokalrecidiv (ENM) och rehabiliteringsbehov (MM/LR) efter primär kirurgi. Genom att systematiskt analysera sambandet mellan lymfkörtelmetastas och patient- och tumörrelaterade faktorer avser vi att ta fram ett kliniskt beslutsstöd som kan användas för att skräddarsy axillens kirurgi. Projektet The research group is addressing choice of primary surgery in breast and axilla based on risk factors for nodal metastasis (LR) and local recurrence (ENM) and the rehabilitation process (MM/LR). The risk for nodal metastasis is less than 30% but all patients undergo a staging procedure. By studying patient- and tumor related factors in large population based cohorts we aim to define a clinically u
Forskgruppen fokuserar på metodutveckling av portvaktskörtelkonceptet vid livmoder och livmoderhalscancer. Baserat på metodstudier och anatomiska studier av uterus lymfdränade har den hittills största prospektiva studien genomförts vilken tillsammans med kompletterande studier av detaljer kring anatomisk lokalisation av portvaktskörtlar lett till en ändring av vårdprogrammet för patienter med livmThe research group focuses on methodological development of, and the anatomic basis for sentinel lymph node techniques in endometrial and cervical cancer. So far the prospective studies have defined the prerequisites for a safe implementation of sentinel node in endometrial cancer and within 1-2 years also likely for cervical cancer. The studies in endometrial cancer have recently resulted in a ch
Background: Tumor ablation is often employed for unresectable colorectal liver metastases. However, no survival benefit has ever been demonstrated in prospective randomized studies. Here, we investigate the long-term benefits of such an aggressive approach. Methods: In this randomized phase II trial, 119 patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases (n < 10 and no extrahepatic disease) re
In fifth generation district heating and cooling (5GDHC), the temperature range of the heat source is wider then in current common heat pump systems. The results of this study show that the heat pumps and chillers that are available in the market are not well adapted to 5GDHC applications due to the wide working range of 5GHDC. In order to maintain a high efficiency, current design parameters shou
Exposure to fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) is emerging as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but existing studies are still limited and heterogeneous. We have previously studied the association between dementia (AD and vascular dementia) and PM2.5 stemming from vehicle exhaust and wood-smoke in the Betula cohort in Northern Sweden.
