Licentiate seminar in mechanical engineering with Louisa Nilsson
Welcome when doctoral student Louisa Nilsson at the Sports Tech Research Centre holds a licentiate seminar.
She will then defend her thesis "Opportunities for Enhancing Durability and Environmental Sustainability in Shell Jackets".
If you want good value for money, buy a shell jacket secondhand. Louisa Nilssons has researched the functionality of shell jackets over time and notes that many shell jackets still have a lot left to give when they are discarded by their first user. In the Sports Tech Research Centre's materials lab, she has looked at the garments' waterproofness, water repellency, air permeability and breathability, among other things. She has also compiled how functionality changes over time and how the price decreases over time. The purpose of the study is to ultimately reduce consumption.
Main supervisor is Professor of Mechanical Engineering Mikael Bäckström.
