The most important material thereof is polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), which can replace the commodity polymer polypropylene (PP) in many applications, yielding a bio-based, biodegradable alternative solution. The advantage from using cyanobacteria to make PHB over the standard fermentation processes, with sugar or other organic (waste) materials as feedstock, is that the sustainability is better (compare first-generation biofuels with the feed vs. fuel debate), with CO2 being the only carbon source and sunlight being the sole energy source. In this review article, the state of the art of cyanobacterial PHB production and its outlook is discussed. Thirty-seven percent of dry cell weight of PHB could be obtained in 2018, which is getting close to up to 78\% of PHB dry cell weight in heterotrophic microorganisms in fermentation reactors. A good potential for cyanobacterial PHB is seen throughout the literature.}, subject = {Bio-based Plastics}, language = {en} } @article{KnappLacknerMarkl, author = {Knapp, Alexander and Lackner, Maximilian and Markl, Erich}, title = {Abrasive pads for sustainable and cost-effective industrial and institutional floor cleaning}, series = {International Journal of Advance Engineering and Research Development}, journal = {International Journal of Advance Engineering and Research Development}, issn = {2348-4470}, pages = {84 -- 86}, abstract = {Industrial and institutional floor cleaning today relies on mechanical action combined with chemicals, which is costly and a burden to the environment. There are floor cleaning pads on the market which claim increased service time due to diamond particles contained in the nonwoven materials. In this study, it was investigated whether cleaning results can also be obtained with hard-particle-coated pads using only water. SiC, diamond and Al 2 O 3 were used with particle sizes between 5 and 125 µm. 5 g/m² of hard particles were applied to the pads in epoxy resin. Weight loss from abrasive cleaning in 500 cycles and gloss increase were measured. Diamond and silicon carbide particles were found to work with pure water, without the need for chemical cleaning agents.}, subject = {Floor cleaning}, language = {en} } @article{MarklGruenbichlerLackner, author = {Markl, Erich and Gr{\"u}nbichler, Hannes and Lackner, Maximilian}, title = {PHB - Bio Based and Biodegradable Replacement for PP: A Review}, series = {Novel Techniques in Nutrition and Food Science}, volume = {2}, journal = {Novel Techniques in Nutrition and Food Science}, number = {2}, pages = {4}, subject = {Bio Degradable}, language = {en} } @book{deVriesMarklLackner, author = {de Vries, Sytse and Markl, Erich and Lackner, Maximilian}, title = {Energy efficiency management in the shipping industry}, publisher = {Lambert Academic Publishing}, isbn = {978 3 659 71981 3}, publisher = {Fachhochschule Technikum Wien}, subject = {Transportation}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GruenbichlerEngelhardtNowitzkiMarkletal., author = {Gr{\"u}nbichler, Hannes and Engelhardt-Nowitzki, Corinna and Markl, Erich and Lackner, Maximilian and Kreith, Josef and Bermejo Moratinos, Ra{\´u}l and Supancic, Peter and Danzer, Robert}, title = {Adaptation of a universal testing machine to characterise the material response of multi-layered piezoelectric actuators under fully coupled loading scenarios}, series = {th International Conference on Smart Materials and Structures}, booktitle = {th International Conference on Smart Materials and Structures}, publisher = {Material Sci Eng 2018 (7)}, subject = {Robotics}, language = {en} } @misc{GruenbichlerEngelhardtNowitzkiMarkletal., author = {Gr{\"u}nbichler, Hannes and Engelhardt-Nowitzki, Corinna and Markl, Erich and Lackner, Maximilian and Kreith, Josef and Bermejo Moratinos, Ra{\´u}l and Supancic, Peter and Danzer, Robert}, title = {Adaptation of a universal testing machine to characterise the material response of multi-layered piezoelectric actuators under fully coupled loading scenarios}, subject = {Robotics}, language = {en} } @misc{MarklOrsolitsStojicic, author = {Markl, Erich and Orsolits, Horst and Stojicic, Dario}, title = {Virtuelle Technologien in der Robotik}, subject = {Robotics}, language = {de} } @misc{LacknerKamravamaneshMarkletal., author = {Lackner, Maximilian and Kamravamanesh, Donya and Markl, Erich and Engelhardt-Nowitzki, Corinna and Herwig, Christoph}, title = {Optimization of process parameters to enhance Polyhydroxyalkanoate accumulation in a unicellular cyanobacterium using multivariate experimental design approach}, subject = {Bacteria}, language = {en} } @article{MarklLacknerSchmidetal., author = {Markl, Erich and Lackner, Maximilian and Schmid, Judith and Faast, Thomas}, title = {Mutual Benefits from Entrepreneurship of Non-business University Graduates for Academia and Founders}, series = {International Academic Journal of Entrepreneurship}, journal = {International Academic Journal of Entrepreneurship}, pages = {8}, abstract = {There is a trend among universities to teach entrepreneurship and support startup initiatives.
