  2. 1. Ultrastructure of the Primary Cell Wall of Softwood Fibres Studied using Dynamic FT-IR Spectroscopy

    Author : Jasna Stevanic Srndovic; Lars Wågberg; Per M. Claesson; Paul Gatenholm; KTH; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; primary cell wall; polymer interactions; viscoelasticity; dynamic FT-IR spectroscopy; dynamic 2D FT-IR spectroscopy; cellulose; xyloglucan; pectin; protein; lignin; low degree sulphonation; cellulose allomorphs; Wood fibre and forest products; Träfiber- och virkeslära;

    Abstract : The primary cell wall is a complex multipolymer system whose composite structure has been mostly determined from chemical and biochemical studies. Although the primary cell wall serves a central role, with regard to the connective properties of fibres, knowledge about the interactions among the polymers, when it comes to the mechanical properties, is very limited.

  4. 2. Synthesis and modification of potential CO2 adsorbents : Amine modified silica and calcium carbonates

    Author : Baroz Aziz; Niklas Hedin; Lennart Bergström; Helmut Cölfen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Amine-modified silica; carbon capture; Fractional factorial design; IR spectroscopy; calcium carbonate; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Abstract : The prospect of rapid changes to the climate due to global warming is subject of public concern. The need to reduce the emissions of atmospheric green house gases and in particular carbon dioxide is greater than ever. Extensive research is performed to find new solutions and new materials, which tackles this problem in economically benign way. READ MORE

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis consists of a literature review, presented in two papers, and another six papers describing experimental studies of the influence of different kinds of wax and polyphosporic acid on bitumen and asphalt concrete mixture properties. The literature review should give an extensive description of the field of knowledge concerning wax in bitumen. READ MORE

  7. 5. Effects of nitrogen deposition on the growth, metabolism and activity of ectomycorrhizal fungi

    Author : Magnus Ellström; MEMEG; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nitrogen deposition; Ectomycorrhizal fungi; Symbiosis; SOM modification; Carbon starvation; Metabolism; Nitrogen leakage; IR-spectroscopy; Mesh bags; Microarray; Axenic growth; Transcriptomics.;

    Abstract : Elevated nitrogen (N) deposition is an environmental problem that can affect plants and microorganisms, which are vital for the terrestrial N and carbon (C) cycles. This thesis has investigated the response of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) to increased N deposition. READ MORE
