  2. 1. Modification of microcapsules for controlled release

    Author : Markus Andersson Trojer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; block copolymer; coordination chemistry; polyelectrolyte multilayer; cross-linking; vibrational spectroscopy; electron paramagnetic resonance; imidazole; controlled release; colloidal stability; Microcapsule; quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation;

    Abstract : Fouling of marine organisms such as algae and barnacles on the boat hull is an enormous problem for the shipping industry. The negative consequences for the society are both economical and environmental. To prevent fouling in general, biocides are typically incorporated directly into the paint. READ MORE

  4. 2. Building Blocks for the Assembly of Nanostructures

    Author : Tina Gschneidtner; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molecules; Self-Assembly; sensing; nanoparticles; plasmon;

    Abstract : The natural world and many man made technologies are driven by self-assembly, involving the autonomous organization of individual components as a result of specific local interactions into functional structures. Self-assembly is a platform from which to construct materials with a high complexity, in high precision, with an inbuilt error- correction system due to its dynamic nature. READ MORE

  5. 3. Small and Large, Charged Molecules in Solution and at Interfaces

    Author : Giulio Tesei; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molecular modeling; MD simulations; statistical mechanics; SAXS; QCM-D; Hofmeister series; amyloid fibril; lipid bilayer; cell-penetrating peptide; molekylär modellering; MD simuleringar; MC simuleringar; statistisk mekanik; SAXS; QCM-D; amyloidfibriller; cellmembran; cellpenetrerande peptider;

    Abstract : The influence of small and large, charged molecules on the properties of aqueous interfaces has important implications in chemistry, biology, and medicine. For example, at the surface of marine aerosols, the presence of halide anions and tropospheric gases gives way to multiphase chemical reactions affecting climate and air quality. READ MORE

  6. 4. Solid-State NMR Characterization of Lipid Membranes

    Author : Vasco Castro; Arnold Maliniak; Göran Lindblom; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solid-State NMR; Membranes; Lipids; Glycolipids; Local Anesthetics; Hydration; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry; fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the study of lipid bilayer systems by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. Two-dimensional 1H-13C separated local field experiments under magic-angle spinning were employed to investigate structural and dynamical modifications of cell membranes, resulting from the addition of compounds with some biological relevance.

  7. 5. Effects of Ubiquinone-10 on the Stability and Mechanical Properties of Lipid Membranes

    Author : Emma K. Eriksson; Katarina Edwards; Victor Agmo Hernández; Emma Sparr; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ubiquinone-10; lipid bilayers; membrane stabilizer; liposome permeability; osmotic shock; cuvettes; solanesol; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : Ubiquinones are a group of fat-soluble molecules present in many biological membranes. The most abundant version in humans, ubiquinone-10 (Q10), plays an important role in the mitochondrial respiration chain and also functions as a powerful antioxidant. Accumulating evidence suggests that Q10 also could have other functions in the membrane. READ MORE
